Sarah Palin Decides That Rahm Emanuel Hates Trig The Most Today

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."
