sarah palin's right

bet you never thought that i would write those three words. but, in this instance she is - that's the instance of rahm emanuel and his penchant for saying really stupid things. the wall street journal is reporting that, in a white house meeting last august, emanuel shot down an idea as "fucking retarded." sarah palin, rightfully, jumped all over this story comparing the use of the "r" word to the use of the "n" word and pointing out that we would never stand for any public official declaring someone a "fucking n*****." palin goes so far as to call for emanuel's firing. i also agree. unfortunately, it's never going to happen because, as i wrote about last year, his boss thinks it's okay to make fun of people with disabilities. i wonder how many passes people in this administration will get on this one?
