I’m going to deviate from local coverage for a moment to vent about a national figure.
Sarah Palin embodies everything that’s wrong with American politics. She plays well to populist people who are dissatisfied with pretty much everything. Good for her, but she’s barely qualified to breathe, let alone be a viable politician. She quit being Governor to go on a book tour, for God’s sake! Selfish, money-hungry, egoist. Palin.
Anyway, when it came out that Rahm Emmanuel said the word “retard” in a meeting, Palin, who has an infant with disabilities (that she regularly leaves to speak at Tea Party Conventions for $100,000 grand or to sell books), called for his resignation.
Then, Rush Limbaugh went on his radio-show and, pompous ass that he is, went on and on about “retards” for whatever reason.
Palin, who if she were consistent and honorable and not an opportunistic political Hack should’ve called for him to lose his show, instead came out and said it’s okay when Rush Limbaugh does it, because it’s satire.
Hypocrite.
Rush Limbaugh may be an idiot, but he can say what he wants. Rahm Emmanuel may not have tact, but he can also say what he wants. They deserve equal treatment. But Palin has one set of morals for Democrats and one set of morals for Republicans and she doesn’t have the decency to admit that it’s all political. It’s one thing to disagree on matters of policy, but this is a matter of language and what I guess she would call vulgarity.
Well, it’s time for me to write some satire about how Palin is retarded. That’s okay with her, right? I won’t have to resign my position as owner/administrator of NEPArtisan, right?
