Stephen Colbert: Sarah Palin uses a hand-o-prompter and defends Rush Limbaugh for calling liberals ‘retards’ (video: Colbert Nation)

Oh. My. Dog!

Hey! It’s cool if it’s satire. Sarah Palin said so.

UPDATE (10 February 2010, 7:25am):

Obviously, The Rude Pundit agrees. From his post Sarah Palin is a Fucking Retard:

The Rude Pundit watched Palin’s speech Saturday night at the Tea Party Convention at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. He saw all of it, her hair fixed perfectly to look like she had just finished fucking Andrew Breitbart (who introduced her), her practiced folksy nasality that has become a parody of a parody, her ludicrous call to revolution, which apparently means slightly lower taxes on small businesses and war with Iran. Somewhere in heaven, James Madison said, “Tell you what, bitch, you risk getting executed by the British for a cut in the marginal tax rate on your fishing boats and we’ll talk.”

Her speech was nonsense, a bowl of bullshit and lies that she digested and vomited out into the hungry mouths of the hatchlings in attendance, who gobbled it down like they had never tasted something so sweet. How can you take seriously someone who says, “[U]nlike the elitists who denounce this movement, they just don’t want to hear the message. I’ve traveled across this great country and I’ve talked to the patriotic men and women who make up the Tea Party movement, and they are good and kind and selfless and they are deeply concerned about our country” just before denouncing every other movement. And who is this rich woman calling “elitist”?

The Rude One notes, “She’s fucking retarded. As in stupid. As in she shouldn’t be trusted to hand out carts at a Wal-Mart.”
