2. Question
Is he going to apologize to liberals, too? He should apologize to disabled people and their families.

7. No way. He wants liberals to apologize to him
the way Harry Whittington apologized to Dick Cheney for taking 250 pieces of birdshot

10. He didn't call liberals retarded
He said the the strategy that some liberals were undertaking was retarded.

17. Don't bother trying the truth here
Some people think Rahm is the devil and everything that has gone wrong with this administration is his fault - you simply cannot reason with them. They'll be outraged simply because they want to be outraged.

11. Well, yeah.
Calling liberals retarded isn't problematic because its insulting to liberals.

Some people make a career of missing the point.

13. Palin knowingly uses her baby as a "Woe is me" prop as she
gets off and on planes and buses. I've seen it and it is a pathetic looking site.

That pandering to her base has resulted in Rahm having to go the extra mile with this apology.

And Obama insists on trying to be bipartisan with these dipsticks? Pathetic.

'cause she's sure milking that kid.

18. Palin is the one who needs to apologize

Palin took he baby on the campaign trail as a prop to garner sympathy from the crowds. She is the one who owes the apology.

Ralm should get back to work fixing the mess the Republicans have made of the country

15. When they have to announce that you'll apologize before you apologize...
...it's not an apology.
