And then there's just plain stupid.

How does Palin respond to Limbaugh's throwing down the gauntlet on "retard?" I know! Let's get Mikey to do it! Mikey (aka Meg Stapletongue) responded thusly to The Plumline's inquiries: "I asked Palin spokesperson Meghan Stapleton for comment on Rush’s rant, and she emailed me this: “Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.” It hardly has the passion of her response to Rahm, and there’s no call for him to step down. But given Rush’s stature among conservatives, it’s pretty interesting that she went this far, denouncing his on-air rant as “crude and demeaning name-calling.” http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/political-media/palin-camp-rips-limbaugh-hits-his-retard-comment-as-crude-and-demeaning/ Yes, Sarah....where's your personal outrage on Fakebook? When can we expect Rush to quit his eleventy zillion dollar job in deference to your mandations? I assume it's too much to hope for that these two high-principled behemoths will take their disagreement to the cage-fighting level..... Tsk. Tsk.

Yes, Sarah….where’s your personal outrage on Fakebook? When can we expect Rush to quit his eleventy zillion dollar job in deference to your mandations?

Right on top of the issue, he comes out and intentionally pushes the word over and over. Its as if to say, you think that anyone can't use that word just because you have a baby that you call retarded? Come on Sarah, bring it on. Sarah, your baby isn't retarded, he has Down Syndrome, he's a "special needs" baby, not retarded. Shame on you for thinking of your baby as a retard...and then have the gall to go and call for Rahm's firing for using it to describe Dem's retarded program Hell, Sarah would have called it retarded too, if she had been there and thought of it first. With the tax man barking at your heels, you'll need to dance faster than this, he is fast gaining on you. Doesn’t it look like Rush is calling Sarah out?

It doesn't compute and she doesn't even know that. She milks that kid for all she can, by God the kid is going to pay, we are going to pay, everyone is going to pay for her having to rear an unwanted child that can't leave his mother...ever. She was not prepared for God's opening this "door" that she plowed through and lo, a Downs Syndrome life-long anchor. She'll find a way to relieve herself of this unfair-to-Sarah-burden, just wait and see. If she cared anything at all for the fate and future of these special children, we would have seen her on PSA's calling for research and better forms of treatment. When she can get them to pay her to "appear" and help, then she will show up.

Clearly there is a huge difference between a political staff person using a rude slang word behind closed doors, with a group of seasoned politicos, six months ago, and a mere radio-show host who only reaches, by his own esitmation, one hundred million people using a variation of the same word three times in a recent diatribe. It isn't right to expect Palin to hold the national radio-show host to the same standards we would hold a well-known foul-mouthed guy in a private meeting. You guys just aren’t being fair!
