There’s exceptions to every rule, especially in Sarah Palin’s case. In fact, she’s created an entire political career out of exceptions. Start with something as simple as Palin’s recent run-ins with Rahm Emanuel and Family Guy, and soon you have Palin’s entire belief system sprawling before you, one exception-marking asterisk at a time. After reading all the news stories (follow the links), here’s what I’ve learned about the exceptional Sarah Palin so far:
SARAH PALIN’S STANCE ON MAKING FUN OF MENTALLY/PHYSICALLY DISABLED FOLK
CAN make fun of: Diseases/disabilities that her family/friends/gun owners have
CAN’T make fun of: Retarded people*
Taco cat sez: "Vote for Palin."
* Exception made for: satirical** purposes
** Rush Limbaugh = “satire”***
*** Satirical comedians (such as David Letterman) and satirical cartoons (such as Family Guy) do not count as “satire.”****
**** Traditional versions of satire only acceptable when it provides coverage of Palin’s political campaigns (Tina Fey as Palin on SNL)*****
***** If media doesn’t assist in said political campaigns, they are deemed “out to get” Palin******
****** Contrary to popular belief, the 1st Amendment doesn’t apply to the media*******
******* Contrary to popular belief, the 2nd Amendmeant does apply to hunting wolves from helicopters with automatic rifles.********
******** 2nd Amendmeant also applies to hunting retards from helicopters.

So there you have it. Palin gives it to us straight. Every time you think you have her cornered, she provides an exception to her own rules. I call this a Palin-drome, which is quite similar to a palindrome, especially the part of the definition that states: “A palindrome is a word, phrase… that can be read the same way in either direction.”
No matter what Palin says, you can be certain she’ll view words and phrases in whichever direction she pleases, as long as that direction supports her preconceived beliefs. You’d have to be retarded not to see the political value of the Palin-drome method.
