Not long ago, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel described someone or something as "fucking retarded". As Rahm-speak goes, this was mild, PG-rated stuff. Naturally, Sarah Palin took offense instantly and publicly. Not about the F-word, but the R-word. She has a little son with Down syndrome, and said using the word was insulting and degrading. And, you know, she's right. We shouldn't use such a disparaging term about her kid or about anyone -- except ol' Caribou Barbie herself. Sarah is a Grade-A, 1st Class, Capital-R Retard! (Oh man, that felt good!)
She named her young son Trig. Fits in with her other two boys, Algebra and Pre-Calc.
Palin is pictured at right with some of her supporters, none of whom are retarded.
