Charlie Rangel didn't mean to call Palin disabled

He meant to call her retarded, which as Bob so astutely pointed out is illegal. So he called her disabled, perhaps also forgetting that Sarah Palin's youngest child is disabled in that way. Which really got him into trouble.

I take back any and all reservations I may have had about Sarah Palin's VP nomination: Sarah Palin is the greatest thing to happen to the Republican Party since Ronald Reagan. Not because she's a hockey mom. Not because she's pro-life. And not because she's good looking. No, Sarah Palin is to be prized for the over-the-top reactions she provokes from her opponents.

They are completely insane.

There's the lipstick on a pig remark, the white trash porn star remark and the "murderous rage" she inspires in the right correct kind of women.

With enemies like these, who needs friends?
