Howard Stern calls Sarah Palin a 'retard'

Howard Stern has no problem using the word "retard" to describe Sarah Palin.

After nearly a week of controversy over the use of the word "retard" by prominent figures in politics and media, Stern reflexively called Sarah Palin a "retard" during the news portion of Wednesday morning's Howard Stern Show broadcast. Stern made the retarded comment in response to a story about Palin writing rudimentary prompts for her Tea Party keynote speech on the palm of her hand.

"What a retard that Sarah Palin is," Howard Stern chimed in drily after Robin Quivers' Wednesday morning news segment. "She a hack--a low-level type. An anti-intellectual. Her main appeal to people seems to be: 'I'm an idiot and you're an idiot' and aren't you sick of all these smart people?"

Sarah Palin recently called for the resignation of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel after he stated that those opposed to reforming the American health care system were f---ing retarded."

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh also used the "retard" during his syndicated radio broadcast last Wednesday while discussing the Rahm Emmanuel flap: "Our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards. I'm not going to apologize for it," said Limbaugh. Sarah Palin has refused to condemn Limbaugh's statement.

If there's one group of people who are comfortable with the word "retard," it's the Howard Stern Show cast. The designation is not only one of Howard Stern's favorite off the cuff insults for those he considers incompetent. The word "retard" is an integrated part of Howard Stern Show history. Two of the most famous members of Howard Stern's "Wack Pack" are "Gary the Retard" and "Wendy the Retard".

    Sarah Palin is disgraceful. She is uneducated, mean and petty and a terrible mother. She appeals to the idiot that are like her. Sarah is jealous of smart people because she is jealous and too lazy to learn. Hell this idiot can't even take care of her hillbilly kids. All of them are HS dropouts and Track and Willow have been arrested. Her retarded kid hasn't seen her in 6 months. Sarah Palin you are nothing but a disgrace and a common low life. Go home you are disgusting and just are out for money while you vomit out your lies. You are nothing but a shamless horrible women. You are a disgraceful mother, you don't vem take care of your kids. They are all losers like you!

    I do love how she works you Liberals into a mouth-foaming frenzy. You cannot and will not get rid of her. The more venom you spew about her, the more popular she gets. It is mostly, the supposedly "tolerant liberals", that have a problem with her. Yet, you can worship an idiot like Howard Stern. What is his claim to fame? He is rich and vulgar, with the IQ of a rock. He is a typical liberal "hero". What a pathetic group of people.
