Board Palinistas - Please Help Explain the Difference

"They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh," she said, when read a quote of Limbaugh calling liberal groups "retards." "Rush Limbaugh was using satire ... . I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there."

It's OK, if you're a Republican!

You mean Republicans can understand:

...and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that...."

We did know, as has been reported? Huh?
We know because it's been reported?

We know because they tell us we know!

I heard Rush say that and knew this would be a Net issue du jour this week.

It does look very much like a case of selective outrage.

I suck at French.

Yes.

Palin is also backing Perry in Texas and his campaign consultant Dave Carney has had to apologize for using the "R" word several times in a conference call. Has she asked him to resign like she did Emanuel? NO!

Ted Nugent will be playing at a rally of Perry and he also is gifted with the use of the "R" word.

[Honored Fossil 1]

Yes, but, when in doubt he can whip it out. And he's got him a rock and roll band.

And he also has a bad case of the Cat Scratch Fever. And he can do the Wango Tango.

Then there's Beck, who is himself the father of a special needs child. He was speaking on his radio show last month to actress (and, apparently, artist) Mary Lynn Rajskub (of 24 fame) and asked her about paintings she does. When she says she particularly enjoys painting "retarded children and paintings of the insane," laughter can be heard on Beck's end of the line. Then Beck, trying to suppress laughs, starts to ask how much the paintings of the "retarded" children go for. When she asks if there are "people laughing in the background," he replies that, "we're not laughing, we're just imagining that those would be nice. ... Honestly, I've been looking for one of those, but I haven't seen them."

Unable to keep from laughing, Beck adds that he has "no idea if you really do this or you're just screwing with people." She's being serious, she insists.

Ah yes, Ms Sarah has her work cut out for her.

Issue du jour this week?

Nitpick.

Nah.
issue de jour is mis-reading of
corpsman (cor-mun)
as
corpseman
by the non-American President.

"He's offended every brave corpsman in the military."
