Sarah Palin vs Politically Incorrect Names... sort of



As you probably know, Rahm Emanuel recently used the phrase "fucking retarded" when referring to liberal extremists. Sarah Palin was instantly outraged at his incorrect use of the term. However, when Rush Limbaugh agreed with Emanuel and used the same offense multiple times to large audiences, Palin claims it to be satire and was completely at peace. Not only is this a double-standard for politicians that might help her versus other politicians, but Palin is indirectly insulting her own child by claiming it to be all right to call a person or a group of people a politically incorrect word if they "clearly [don't] mean it". So, by Palin's standards, we can all make as many sexist, racist, and homophobic jokes as we please.
