Shouldn't it have been obvious to Palin when she excused Rush's remark as satire that this would happen?

Palin criticizes Rahm Emanuel for calling others "retarded" then Rush Limbaugh does it, but instead of remaining consistent she excuses Rush saying it's just satire. Well, that obviously gave every comedian in the world from Stephen Colbert to the producers of Family Guy license to make fun of her and her son. How can anyone this shortsighted be trusted as President ?

    Yes, it should have been. I don't think Rush used the word in a satirical manner anyway and if she is so upset about the term being used she shouldn't have given him a pass just because she likes him or his politics. It only makes her come off as disingenuous and gives others the opportunity to mock her for it..

    BTW, I don't think she is a candidate for President..

    Family Guy didn't even use the word "retard" in that episode. Rahm Emanuel only said it once, and that was in private. Rush used it over 40 times in one day for millions of people to hear. Palin's got her priorities and morals wayyyy outta wack

    In Douglas Adams e book The Hitch Hikers preparation guide to the Galaxy, the nature Ford Prefect (from a small planet someplace contained in the position of Betelgeuse) is often given to ask your self why it really is that human beings continuously state and re-state the very, very obtrusive as in: it really is a stunning day, or you're very tall, or you look to have fallen down a 30 foot properly. in the initiating Ford formulated a concept to account for this behaviour. If human beings do not shop excercising their lips, he concept, their brains likely commence operating. i might want to point that once the subsequent individual asks you in case you've had your hair decrease you should experience your hair with higher dramatic panic and scream "My God, who's decrease my hair off!!!!!" and run crazily down the line. or you would possibly want to stare at them blankly and say that you have not had you hair decrease in any respect and that your hair has been in this style for a minimum of a decade.

    Don't forget Letterman! His show is satire yet Palin found his joke offensive. I guess according to Palin Rush is the only satirist.

    Whether its a mean-spirited attack or just satire depends on whose ox has been gored.

    Yes. She should have called Rush on it. It would've made her look better.

    Her political Myopia is our political Utopia! How did she see Russia from her house, again?
