Last night, Stephen Colbert tried to explain Sarah Palin’s somewhat circuitous defense of Rush Limbaugh. Recently, she called for the resignation of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for reportedly referring to liberal groups as ‘f–king retarded’. When Limbaugh, on his radio show, repeatedly used the term ‘retards’ in reference to liberals, Palin defended him, claiming since it was a joke, he didn’t really mean it. Colbert, in support of Palin, tried to clarify the difference between the two situations by giving another example of satire, saying ‘Sarah Palin is a f–king retard’.
