Sarah And Moose: Freelance Police, Part 2

Hey look, Moose Lady's crusade against the word "retard" has snagged another famous face:

El Rushbo.  Greg Sargent:

“Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult’s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards,” Rush said, adding that Rahm’s meeting yesterday with advocates for the mentally handicapped was a “retard summit at the White House.”

I asked Palin spokesperson Meghan Stapleton for comment on Rush’s rant, and she emailed me this:

“Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.”

It hardly has the passion of her response to Rahm, and there’s no call for him to step down. But given Rush’s stature among conservatives, it’s pretty interesting that she went this far, denouncing his on-air rant as “crude and demeaning name-calling.”

I know, it's petty, asinine and lowers the discourse in a country that has already seen the discourse lowered specifically because of these two.

Still, popcorn time!
