Sarah Palin then rushed to [Dr. Laura] Schlessinger's side, Tweeting in her inimitable style, "Don't retreat . . . reload!" Palin, we can only assume, wanted Schlessinger to utter "n!**er" as often as she wanted.

Just... wow.

And the "it" that wrote that gets a paycheck?

You know, what is more frightening is there are a lot of people that pay money on a regular basis to read it.

They also believe it to be correct!

Mass delusions, I suppose.

Bill Maher went on Larry King in a subsequent week and used the n-word in a manufactured quote to smear the mindset of all tea partiers.

He was not taken to task.

I'm not a Laura Schelssinger fan but from what I gather, she was just denouncing the use of the word that is "acceptable" by some segments of America and was willing to use the word she was denouncing rather than using a euphemism for the pejorative.

Then again doesn't Bill Maher have a Time-Life-Warner-Turner-CNN program on HBO? So sister network CNN isn't going to be the one to take him down?
