Republican Official: People With Obama Bumper Stickers Are ‘Mentally Retarded’ |

At an election party last night, Pennsylvania’s Allegheny County GOP Chair, Jim Roddey, brought the crowd to laughter and applause by calling an Obama supporter “mentally retarded.” Roddey, who is a long-time supporter of Mitt Romney, told the joke to a crowd of about 200: “I was very embarrassed. I was in this parking lot and there was a man looking for a space to park, and I found a space for him. And I felt badly — he looked like he was sort of in distress. And I said, ‘Sir, here’s a place.’ And he said, ‘That’s a handicapped space.’ I said, ‘Oh I’m so sorry, I saw that Obama sticker and I thought you were mentally retarded.’”

He thinks that handicap spaces are for the mentally disabled?

10. Roddey now says his remarks were "regrettable."

But in a case of false equivalency he says the call for his resignation by the county Democratic chair is "also regrettable."

Hey buddy, don't you know an apology has to be "clean" to be acceptable? No getting your digs in at your opponents allowed.

11. I thought only assholes still called people "retarded".

And my thoughts are confirmed!
