By now, we all have heard about Sarah Palin and "R-Word-gate." If you haven't, a quick refresher: White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel supposedly called liberal groups "f**king retarded," and Sarah Palin took time off from her busy schedule of, uh, doing whatever Sarah Palin does to call for his immediate resignation.

Rush Limbaugh involved himself by dismissing the whole fracas, saying, "He's acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards." When asked if Rush should resign (he used the word pejoratively too, after all), Sarah Palin instead defended him, saying that he was clearly using satire. Oh, so it's OK if you're being sarcastic! Wait, what?

Happily, on a recent "Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert broke it all down. He agrees with Sarah Palin: If you clearly don't mean it, it's OK to call someone a horrible word. The best way to come to her defense, he insists, is to call Sarah Palin ... you'll have to watch to find out! Enjoy!
