Autocratic mayor of Facebook Sarah Palin needs a new feud, because no one has paid her any attention in like a week. And luckily for Palin, it seems her Google Alert for “Rahm Emanuel retarded” is solid fucking gold today, as she has declared war with Emanuel for referring to attempts to pressure Senate centrists “fucking retarded,” which is an Alaskan-language slur that can be loosely translated as “cynical play-acting.” F’reals: “Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking.” Trig wept.

Emanuel’s comment was reported in the Wall Street Journal, but Palin’s “source” is some Wall Street Journal-reading dude in Massachusetts whose son has Down Syndrome. He is a patriot, despite his brave struggle with Stage IV Convenience.

A patriot in North Andover, Massachusetts, notified me of Rahm’s “retarded” slam. I join this gentleman, who is the father of a beautiful child born with Down Syndrome, in asking why the Special Olympics, National Down Syndrome Society and other groups condemning Rahm’s degrading scolding have been completely ignored by the White House. No comment from his boss, the president?

Reports Facebook: “8,814 people like this.” Today we are all “fucking retarded.”

fuck yeah. i love trig the most everyday.

Katydid February 2, 2010 at 10:43 am

Clearly Rahm was referring to Sarah, and not l’il angelic Trig, who merely has Down Syndrome. Get it right Sarah, you fucking retard.

I told everyone this political correctness thing was gonna blow up in our faces someday, but nooooo, nobody would listen. Now I have to worry about fucking retards taking offense because I noticed they are fucking retarded, and this makes me an “able-ist?”

Capitol Hillbilly February 2, 2010 at 10:44 am

Maybe he should have just said, “That’s as gay as Ross Douchehat.”

Monsieur Grumpe February 2, 2010 at 10:46 am

To be fair, retarded is kind of harsh. How about using a term such as “Palinesque” to describe our dimwitted brothers and sisters?

glamourdammerung February 2, 2010 at 10:46 am

Palin is a celebrity, same as the guy that plays Ronald McDonald on television. Why are we supposed to care what she thinks?

Also, I thought the GOP hated when celebrities acted like politicians.

Rajul February 2, 2010 at 10:47 am

People who whine about calling other people retarded are gay.

Mr Blifil February 2, 2010 at 10:47 am

What he meant to say is that bloggy-type liberals are “fucking accelerated,” but that would have been demeaning to athletes who can run the 40 in under 4 seconds, many of whom represent minority demographics. So you’re damned if you do the thing you do and damned if you don’t do the thing you don’t do. As well.

Ahhh! Beat to the gay punchline by Capitol Hillbilly, a redneck. Oh well. As a person with an anus, I’m offended that George Bush derisively referred to a reported as an “ass hole.” Slurs on all body parts and the people who have them is unacceptable, and heart breaking.

BigDupa February 2, 2010 at 10:50 am

He should reserve the right to extend his remarks and say “Those Senators are behaving like irresponsible parents who let their teenage daughters get the loaded sausage jammed in their fish tacos leading to a rise in out of wedlock births. That, and quitters, are ruining this country.”

ManchuCandidate February 2, 2010 at 10:51 am

I thought she was too busy scamming the retards who buy her retarded book to complain about a remark by uber asshole Rahm.

I remember going to see Lewis Black and one lady gasped when he called W a retard. His explanation was summed up by “Don’t read. Don’t learn anything. Don’t want to Don’t grow up. That’s a real retard.” Or Sarah Palin.

Holy Cow!! February 2, 2010 at 10:52 am

“The only difference between Palin’s mouth and her vagina is that only one retarded thing has come out of her vagina,” Rahm Emanuel.

Rahm is just mean.

Rosie Scenario February 2, 2010 at 10:53 am

We can’t expect Palin to have any grasp of the flavor of the American idiom. I hear “fucking retarded” in a proud Boston accent. Today we are all colorful working class speakers. What would Palin know about that.

FMA February 2, 2010 at 10:54 am

[re=505770]Prommie[/re]: I’ve tried making the distinction that, in certain contexts, the use of the word “retarded” does not refer to people with cognitive and developmental disabilities, Rather, it is descriptive of people who choose ignorance and stupidity, whether it be because they are trying to con people out of money or whether they are simply retarded.
Sarah Palin falls into both categories.

Hopey dont play that game February 2, 2010 at 10:54 am

Retarded is the new gay. Gay is the new black. Black is the new pink. Pink is close to rouge. And rouge is close to rogue, going. Ergo, Palin is retarded. Class dismissed.

Gorillionaire February 2, 2010 at 10:54 am

I like the word “retarded”. I like retards. In music class it was great when the sheet music would say “retard” (meaning to slow down) and somebody would miss the cue and the band director would stop and say “you are supposed to retard, there, Re-tard!” and we would all laugh laugh laugh. Can’t joke like that now, tho, no sirreee, not without the likes of Quitter Palin getting a jalepeno dildo up her but about it, passive-aggresively tweeting to the world about her hurt feelings and indignation. God the world is so fucking retarded.

I would think that someone in Mass. would be offended because Rahm used “fucking retarded” instead of their preferred “wicked retahded”. Funny, though, that she never found problems with the overt racism shown at her own rallies, but is so sensitive to offensive language here.

[re=505773]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Do you really want to insult the morons that much, by comparing them to Palin? Even the biggest mong doesn’t deserve that.

hoosiermama February 2, 2010 at 11:02 am

I guess that makes Emanuel a Rahmtard.

frailamerica February 2, 2010 at 11:03 am

This is like the most innocuous thing Rahm has ever said. Now if Zeke said it, that would be a story!

OReillysVibrator February 2, 2010 at 11:04 am

“Just as we’d be appalled if any public figure of Rahm’s stature ever used the “N-word” or other such inappropriate language, Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking.”

Can I be briefly snark-free? Honestly, I mean this sincerely – I think she wrote this solely to please her many (not all) racist fans who get that big smile at the thought of the word ‘nigger’. It doesn’t matter in what context you say nigger or n-word, just that bringing it to their minds gives them comfort and joy in their racism… not to mention she’s sort of comparing black people to retarded people like her (kid), but whatever. We can’t get inside Palin’s head (it’s not like Bristol’s underwear) but that’s a hunch I have confidence in; do you think racists only talk shit about black people when they see a black person do something bad? Or just bring it up out of nowhere? Exactly.

magic titty February 2, 2010 at 11:05 am

She still hasn’t figured out that he’s not insulting people with disabilities, huh? And that the term retarded doesn’t explicitly refer to people with disabilities.

bfstevie February 2, 2010 at 11:06 am

What about “fucktard”? Is that now acceptable to all the politically correct tea baggers? One of my best friends always objects to the term “fucktard”. But he’s Irish. And they love their mothers, boy. They love their mothers!

Sarah Palin is hating the troops who are protecting our precious freedoms to speak about the fucking retardedness of “centrists”.

[re=505789]FMA[/re]: Nah, you can’t do that, any more than you can call someone the n-word but say, “No offense, I just meant a lazy, shiftless, banjo-playing, porch-sitting, spiritual-singing irritating person who could maybe be white!” Or, “By calling you a ‘greedy Jew’ I meant no slur on the Hebrew Race…” etc….

But Palin is a heartless, ambitious, nasty cunt for politicizing her poor little baby, regardless of the terminology.

maven February 2, 2010 at 11:11 am

I just can’t get past this wonderful phrase of Palin’s, earlier in the post, which seems to be describing some kind of gastrointestinal illness:

“deliberate internally the wisdom of this debt explosion”

Crow T. Robot February 2, 2010 at 11:11 am

So…I know she’s got this whole “co-opting the left” thing going on where she pretends to be PC about *some* language & also pretends to be a feminist.

What confuses me is it seems like both these things are fairly anathema to the people who are attracted to the rest of the junk inside her trunk, and that the people who actually do think she’s some kind of feminist have to be pretty fucking retarded and she doesn’t actually seem to be fooling any real feminists or people who know anything about language.

So…who’s the target audience here?

I’d assert that it’s primarily nouveau riche hillbillies, of which there must be…hmmm…well, there’s at least those four in Beverly Hills.

Sarah didn’t realize that Rahm meant “fucking retarded” in the nicest way possible, bless her heart.

The other thing that we have to keep in mind is what’s the point in having a campaign prop if you can’t pull it out of the closet and wave it around from time to time. Bristol has been getting good mileage lately, Trig…not so much. Time for the little retard to pull his weight on the righteous umbrage circuit.

Lascauxcaveman February 2, 2010 at 11:49 am

When I was a young’un, the term “mentally retarded” was the proper, accepted descriptive for those with cognitive and developmental disabilities. This eventually morphed into the more streamlined “retarded” which morphed into the much more technical sounding and clunky “developmentally disabled” at the onset of PC.

During the same period, “negro” morphed into “African American” and then morphed into “black.”

You have to o back more than a hundred years to find polite people who actually used the n-word, Sarah.

One Yield Regular February 2, 2010 at 1:07 pm

Lemme get this straight. First, Sarah gets all ranty about “political correctness.” Then she takes a word with multiple uses (and NOT necessarily a slur against the mentally or physically disabled), takes it out of context, and milks it for her own self-aggrandizement. Then, we learn it happened six months ago, making her very accusation retarded in both a literal and figurative sense.

Anyway, I can never hear that word without thinking of Jerry Lewis doing his schtick on his Labor Day Telethon several years ago, when, clowning it up with someone on the set, he exclaimed, on live television, “Stop that! I’m not a retard!…” – then, catching himself, added, after a noticeable pause, “…ed person.” So Sarah, if you’re going to take up that banner, you might as well go all the way: get out there and demand that Jerry Lewis resign from Jerry’s Kids.

This could be a win-win situation for everyone. The President resigns, supposedly in deep shame for having appointed the foul-mouthed, insulting Emmanuel. He no longer has to deal with the mess that Bush left him and likewise the 59/41 Bermuda Triangle of nothing at all gets done in the Senate. But then, how will Snowgrifter arrange for herself and her band of weasels to slip into the White House instead of hairplug guy? ‘Splain that to me, someone.

Potater February 2, 2010 at 1:55 pm

I wonder how angrily her cunt lips were twitching when she wrote this. Not at indignation from Rahm’s comment, but from the knowledge that her twat produced a baby she clearly despises.

Of course, no matter how much Sarah resents him, she would never put Trig up for adoption: he’s her political meat shield.

Um, I know Sarah Palin is stupid, but she should probably know better than to go to war against Rahm. Because dude will cut a bitch.

Please, Rahm, apologize to retards for comparing them to Senators, then apologize to Trig for having a mother who uses her Down Syndrome Baby to cynically attack her political enemies, and then apologize to the American people for not taking on the snowbilly grifter and calling her out sooner.

I think I just got hard imagining that.

I think Rahm would have scored points had he simply quoted Sarah Silverman:

“and by retarded…. i mean they can do ANYTHING…”

[re=505810]magic titty[/re]: Technically, the term “retarded” or “retardation” was introduced as a descriptor for folks with intellectual disabilities. The modern services community discarded it for its pejorative tendencies a while ago. I get grief from my wife (who is a DD services administrator) for using the term to describe anyone behaving stupidly, but that’s because she’s trying to keep people from using it at her work instead of more modern language. Rahm’s use was technically accurate though, since I think most centrist Dems are, if not retarded, then morons, idiots, or any other term for people who lack the mental capacity for rational action.

Berkeley Bear February 2, 2010 at 2:51 pm

[re=505822]Crow T. Robot[/re]: Rich people with kids with DS or other DD issues who are still so wrapped up in their own family pain that they are one note voters/donors. Just about everyone I know with a kid with DD issues went through this phase (generally when the kid is little and seems like nothing will ever be good again) and some (especially those with no other children) never get out of it. During the campaign, otherwise sane people bought her line about a voice for parents of kids with “special needs” in the WH despite the complete lack of positive policies for folks with DD in the McCain/Palin platform. These same nuts don’t seem to realize that Obama’s team has secured full funding for special education for the first time ever in the stimulus bill, because a word is so much more important that 14 billion worth of action.

Berkeley Bear February 2, 2010 at 2:55 pm

[re=505820]GeneralLerong[/re]: Nope. Retarded is short for mentally retarded, which was coined as a scientific description for a wide array of what we now call intellectual or developmental disabilities. It quickly became a school yard euphamism (along with spaz and geek) for anyone who was a little off, but especially if they seemed mentally slow.

But its still f’ing retarded for Palin and her full of shit ass to get worried about Rahm’s choice of salty language when he and Obama just got obscene amounts of cash for special education. Which I’m sure her followers will also claim is bad, even though it will save the country hundreds of billions in services long term.

Nobody’s gonna read this, but what the hey:

I’d call Palin a fucking whore, but that would be an insult to all God’s working girls.

Hooray For Anything February 2, 2010 at 2:57 pm

Gosh, Sarah brings up Trig enough times that you’d almost think she was using him as some sort of political prop. But then why would she do that when she constantly tells people to leave baby Trig alone and not take photos of him or write about him in stories about her?

Berkeley Bear February 2, 2010 at 3:00 pm

Personally, I’m more insulted she keeps putting my son, who has autism, in with hers as “God’s children,” or claiming I’m insulted by Rahm right along with my son. I can’t believe a compassionate Jeebus” would assfuck an innocent child for life by giving them these conditions, much less destroy huge numbers of otherwise loving families, push couples that don’t breakup to the brink of financial ruin, and otherwise demonstrate one fucking wide sadistic streak.

Fish Hawk Road February 2, 2010 at 3:01 pm

heh, Sarah knows “retarded”. She’s got a fucking retarded former C4Pee blogger writing her FB screeds. Of course if RAM actually wrote Palin’s screeds in her own voice it would be motherfucking retarded…as she used to do on her blog. Sarah from the retarded part of Alaska…the Meth-Su-Valley.

BarackMyWorld February 2, 2010 at 4:22 pm

Had Palin read the Wall Street Journal article she’d have also seen this gem:

For the president, Mr. Emanuel is a useful foil, playing a role akin to that of James Baker, who absorbed attacks from unhappy conservatives while chief of staff to Ronald Reagan.

…and then her head would have exploded because the very idea of conservatives being unhappy with Reagan would’ve destroyed her faith in humanity.

Hedley Lamar February 2, 2010 at 4:36 pm

I wouldn’t mind it if Rahm resigned and some no-compromise progressive
who can beat some balls into Reid and Pelosi would take over. Plus he’s a retarded
douche.

rocktonsammy February 2, 2010 at 5:46 pm

Today, we’re all fucking retards.

populucious February 2, 2010 at 5:53 pm

Due to enlightenment and political correctness, we no longer refer to persons born with developmental difficulties as “retarded”. Since this is the case, I’m not sure how Ms. Palin could have made any connection between Emanuel’s colorful analogy for the aggressively stupid people he works with and her own blessed little bundle from heaven above. It’s almost like Ms. Palin is calling her own lil sweet baby a retard, and that couldn’t possibly be the case, could it?

SHAME ON YOU, SARAH PALIN! Calling your own child a name reserved for politicians and Darwin Award winners. SHAME!

artbot2000 February 2, 2010 at 6:17 pm

[re=505810]magic titty[/re]:

Fuck it: “retarded” does indeed refer to people with disabilities. Rahm’s an asshole with a big mouth and a mean streak, and something like this story was inevitable. That said, for Sarah Palin to take ownership of the story is as close to forgiveness for his assholery as Rahm is going to get. He won’t be this lucky the next time.

justthisonce February 2, 2010 at 10:04 pm

It took Sarah SIX months to find out a political enemy used the word “retarded”?? Did she stay up all night googling the word to figure out how she could get more face-time in the spotlight?

Once again, the charlatan who demands that her children not be used as part of the political or public discussion uses her children as political props when it’s to her benefit and to get press time. It’s REALLY getting old.

By the way, did Todd have to ask Sarah’s permission when he wanted to retard the ignition timing on his snowmobile?

AnnieGetYourFun February 2, 2010 at 10:05 pm

As I’ve said before on here, I won’t use the noun “retard” in reference to anyone with physical or mental disabilities, or with delayed development.

I WILL use it to refer to people like Sarah Palin, who is stupid on purpose.
