You can not comment without creating a mean spirited sentence that is offensive to those who understand what is and is not "socially" off limits? I am sure you dwell at a level should you want to join the human race you will need a ladder. FATRABBIT Who are you to tell us what is satire and what is immune to criticism?

Specifically, by cruelly slandering Trig as a "retarded apple" and then attempting to shield myself from criticism by calling my slander "satire," I draw a....wait for it....IRONIC parallel to Palin's half-witted defense of Limbaugh's insults against actual developmentally disadvantaged persons, insults he nominally spewed out as satire. Of course, Emanuel was talking about ideas, not persons, but asking Palin to keep different concepts discrete is like herding cats - just ask McCain's election team.
