The hypocrisy of Sarah Palin.. Perry campaign adviser uses the word "retarded"
Edited on Thu Feb-04-10 05:29 PM by HipChick
Funny how Palin demands that Emanuel be fired, but when an aid to a candidate that she supports says something stupid in insensitive,
the standards seem to change.. Either she demands that Perrys guy and her hero Limbaugh recieve the same punishment she demanded for Emanuel for the use of the "r" word..or...she apologizes to Emanuel...

Sarah Palin is criticizing a Rick Perry campaign adviser accused of using the word "retarded" - but she isn't demanding that the aide be fired.

The accusation - made against top Perry consultant David Carney on Wednesday by Kay Bailey Hutchison's gubernatorial campaign - is of note because Palin is heading to Texas this weekend to campaign for Perry as he seeks a third term as Texas governor.

On Monday, Palin called on President Obama to fire his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for using the very same word in a closed door meeting about health care negotiations.

Hutchison's campaign manager Terry Sullivan told CNN Wednesday that Carney repeatedly said "retarded" during a recent conference call between the gubernatorial campaigns to plan logistics for their Jan. 14 debate in Denton.

According to Sullivan, Carney became "bombastic and agitated" when he learned that one of the candidate holding rooms would be in a separate building from the debate venue.

"That's just retarded," Carney said when he learned about the room location, according to Sullivan. "That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard."

Perry's campaign did not respond to a request to comment on the conference call.

Palin spokesman Meg Stapleton condemned the language as "disrespectful," but did not say that Carney should lose his job.


"While it seems few can comment on the veracity of the conversation, Gov. Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful," Stapleton told CNN in an e-mail.

1. Guess where Carney's from
I'm sure that the fact that he's a close friend of the Sununu family has no impact on Caribou Barbie's reasoning!
