Congress and the Executive Branch to be spending their time on.
Emanuel also promised to "examine" Congressional legislation that would remove the word [retarded] from federal law.
Retarded is a perfectly valid word in the English language -- and there are surely times when its use is called for -- as in some federal, state, and local laws. There simply isn't a reasonable way to get around its use.
Except for real wimps, I'm probably as attuned to and sensitive to the use of the word retarded in inappropriate contexts as the next guy. (See the forum at the PseudoDictionary.) Yes, Rahm Emanuel's use of the word was inappropriate and uncalled for. But, let's face it, Rahm Emanuel is an idiot.
What up? Am I going to have to quit calling liberals and progressives idiots? . . . No. That will not happen.
Love,
Mike the Knuckledragger
