I’m with malclave. Who cares if she said it or not? That doesn’t mean she was using it in a derogatory way. The woman has FIVE kids. Asking for her “retarded baby” is a way of distinguishing the youngest. ““Where’s my retarded baby?” followed by lots of cuddling and affection is a helluva lot different than “get that retarded baby outta my sight.” I’d hold the latter against her, but not he former.

I find it very telling that he couldn’t even look at the camera or the interviewer while he was talking. Generally, when someone doesn’t look at you, they are lying. It wouldn’t surprise me if he is coming up with lies about the Palin’s because they “hurt him”. Grow up!

Alas, he may be a hick, but an actual ‘redneck’ is someone Levi should stay far away from. And while he’s at it, he should try to keep in mind that Trig and Bristol have an older brother who is not only combat trained, but also a member of a nice little behavior modification unit known colloquially as the Arctic Wolves Stryker team. I imagine Track could round up a fairly impressive-looking debate team to go discuss Levi’s bad attitude with him. Just sayin’

The only ‘huge thing’ about Levi is his swollen head.

He is an attention whore (sorry for that word.) It’s plain and simple. Take away the microphone and he would shrivel up and die.

“But when he starts saying that Sarah Palin would come home from work and ask, “Where’s my retarded baby?”, it starts getting hard to believe.”

I dunno.

I’m about the same age as Mrs. Palin, and one of my brothers is, well, I think the current PC term is “developmentally challenged.” But when I was growing up, “retarded” was a very common term, and it was not always an insult like it is now. Whether or not “retarded” was offensive depended on context.

I don’t find it inconceivable that, at home, she might not take special care to always use the Politically Correct ™ term.

Some time ago a Canadian journalist called him a “Redneck Ratboy”. Maybe she was on to something. He certainly is a Ratboy.
