An amazing display of GOP hypocrisy:
Obama chief of staff’s 'retarded' insult brings fallout, Palin criticism
Dating back to the time he worked in the Clinton administration, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has developed an almost notorious reputation in Washington for being a brash personality with a penchant for profanity-laced diatribes. Conversely, his intense nature, in addition to his sharp mind, are what many attribute to his success and effectiveness as a Washington power player. But a recently revealed remark he made in a closed-door meeting attended by White House aides and leaders of liberal special-interest groups has irked many, prompting him to issue an apology.
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Emanuel, exasperated upon learning that liberal special-interest groups were planning to run ads against conservative Democrats not supportive of health care reform, blasted the plan as "f------ retarded" over the summer. Naturally, some outrage ensued after Emanuel's words came to light, with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin taking to her Facebook page to call on President Obama to fire him for what she saw as the equivalent of a racial slur.
Many reactionaries accuse us progressive forces of being focused on political correctness.
She has shown rank hypocrisy in her attempt to dismember the Obama administration by her farcical call for Rolm Emanuel's firing. Why doesn't she tell the truth; she hates progressives. This is no model mother, as shown by her out-of-wedlock granddaughter.
