Palin Considering 2012 Run, Defends Limbaugh's Use Of 'Retard' On Fox News Sunday

First Posted: 02- 7-10 10:03 AM | Updated: 02- 7-10 03:35 PM

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin didn't cage her answer when pressed Sunday morning as to whether she would consider a run for president in 2012.

"I would, I would if I believe that is the right thing to do for our country and the Palin family. Certainly I would do so," she told "Fox News Sunday," in an interview that was taped before she addressed a Tea Party convention the night before. "I think that it would be absurd to not consider what it is that I could potentially do to help our country ... . I won't close a door that perhaps could be open for me in the future."

In her first Sunday show appearance, the 2008 vice-presidential candidate predicted that, if the election were held today, President Barack Obama would actually lose the office he won just a year-and-a-half ago. But -- citing a column written by Pat Buchanan -- she left open the possibility that his fates could change, particularly (she seemed to wish) if a major attack were to be launched against Iran.

Palin also used her platform to continue a call for the president to rid himself of his closest advisers. On Attorney General Eric Holder, she labeled his handling of captured terrorists -- "allowing them our U.S. constitutional protections when they do not deserve them" -- a firing offense. On Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel, she said his comments calling liberal groups "f-ing retards" was "indecent and insensitive" and cause for his dismissal.
But the former governor went to great and sometimes awkward lengths to insist that when conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh used the same exact term to describe the same exact group, it was simply in the role of political humorist.

"They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh," she said, when read a quote of Limbaugh calling liberal groups "retards." "Rush Limbaugh was using satire ... . I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there."


:wtf:

2. "I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,'"
um ... he just left out the "f-ing" ... Rush Limbaugh did call the liberal groups "retards" ...

and, with all the whining you did about Rahm Emanuel using the word "retards", you are exposing yourself as a bullshit artist with a 10th level black belt ...

4. "Kooks"
For fucks sake asshole, you've singlehandedly redefined the word.

List of the State of Alaska's Natural resources to Palin; "Oil, Gas, minerals and gold in the ground. (Oh and the good people of Alaska, I'm assuming she means the ones worshiping the right religion)

5. Yes. Rush Limbaugh is now fiercly politically correct.
It was just this particular instance to bring out his satire.
