And now from the files of "only Democrats are bad," Alaska's former Governatrix is leading a campaign to stop the public use of the "R" word; that is to say the derogatory usage of the word "retard," only it apparently collided with her campaign to maintain her popularity with conservatives today, with very confusing results.

A Palin spokeswoman seemed to back away from earlier criticism of conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. Yesterday, when asked for comment on Limbaugh's use of the "r" word in a recent broadcast, Palin spokeswoman told Greg Sargent of the Washington Post, "Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name-calling at the expense of others is disrespectful." Today, Stapleton claims the statement was meant generally and she was not specifically referring to Limbaugh. Still, she declined to say that Palin believes Limbaugh's statements were acceptable. Sargent reprinted the email he sent Stapleton in which he specifically asked about Limbaugh's statement.

I mean, you can spin this any way you want to, but here again we have yet another example of Republicans saying one thing and doing another. I'm telling you that this girl is a train wreck waiting to happen.
