Here's what's funny about it, most of the outrage will come from the Right, who traditionally haven't given a rats ass about the mentally disabled.

Spence,

What was your take on the Imus debacle?

What if Rush "slipped" up and said what Obama said? Would the response be " Sorry I slipped up. It was all in good fun?" I think not.

He did. Remember the McNabb incident?
ESPN dropped him, but he is still doing when he does.
Lets not forget about the Pills etc..

Rush is not the example to use here for slip-ups.

I won't compare it to anyone else. it was stupid, not funny. Move on.
More important things for BHO to be dealing with...

anyone in a public company would be fired for that slip of the tounge.
In the Military, you'd lose a rank ... at least.

I don't think you can know till you know. calling someone a 'retard' or a joke about special olypmics will never hit home till you know someone.

Obama must not know. lucky for him, no one to fire him, just loads of people to tell him, it's ok... You can do no wrong .

I thought Imus got screwed. He fell on his sword but some were out for a clean kill and they got their man.
