Rahm Apologizes in the Wake of Sarah's Criticism

*
Sarah Palin has forced an apology out of President Obam'a foul-mouthed chief White House goon, Rahm Emanuel. Jeff Zeleny at the NY Times' "The Caucus" blog has the story:

Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, apologized for using the word “retarded” to describe liberals at a closed-door meeting last year.

Mr. Emanuel expressed his regret to Tim Shriver, the chief executive officer of the Special Olympics, last week after the remark was reported in an article by The Wall Street Journal about growing liberal angst at the chief of staff.

The apology comes as former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called on President Obama to fire Mr. Emanuel. In a statement on her Facebook page, Ms. Palin described the comments as a “sick and offensive tactic.”

Sarah 1, Rahm Zero.

Chicago is out? Chicago is out? Next time send Sarah.

Dan Riehl has a suggestion:

Would it really have made sense to award the Olympics to a country when the most visible advocates for the United States are on record as having spent much of their lives not being proud of their country? I mean, if they've been so ashamed of America for so long, what kind of country must it be?

Next time, perhaps they should consider relying on advocates who truly are proud of America and like her just the way she's been. Yes, Sarah Palin does come to mind just now.

Amen, brother.
