Rahm Emanuel Potty Mouth Award

As if the hubbub last year over Geithner's excessive F-bombs toward regulators weren't enough, we now see another administration potty mouth, Rahm Emanuel, calling people 'F...ing retarded'.  Specifically targeted to liberal Democrats running ads against conservative Democrats reluctant to embrace health care reform, Emanuel is summoned to the White House for a meeting with CEO Special Olympics ,Tim Shriver "as well Andrew Imparato, president of American Association of People with Disabilities; Julie Petty, former president of Self Advocates Becoming Empowered; parent and special needs advocate Hannah Jacobs; and Ricardo Thornton, self-advocate and Special Olympics athlete," according to CBSnews.com.  Full Story . . . It appears these advocacy groups will bring their own brand of soap to clean the "R" word from his vocabulary, express the hurt it causes, and expect apologies.  Sarah Palin, whose son has Down Syndrome, has called for Obama to fire Emanuel, and flack is coming from other sources. 
If one were keeping tabs on repeated disrespect from administration officials including the Executive branch, we would have to call Glenn Beck for an extra blackboard.
