“Retarded” Comments by Governor Perry’s man servant
Miss Pitty Pat’s mood today – “Pitty” sad….
:-((
Dear Misguided reader,
As I pen this column today, I am “Pitty” saddened by Miss Palin’s being “miffed” about Governor Perry’s man servant using the term “retarded” in a conversation last month. Mrs. Palin is only a teabagger (and some don’t even give her that much credit) and should in no way publicly show her disrespect for our aristocratic governor. This goes back to my opinion that most of my readers will be less than “top drawer” and certainly misinformed to say the least.
While I agree that discussions of this nature about those who are “less than” , would have been, in the past, conducted in private, and that such a term perhaps would have been be used with more discretion, the facti is that this term was used in the manner that it was and also said by a chief man servant to our Governor’ raises it to the level of acceptable in our society.
So dear reader, as I pen these columns, I hope to educate you on the way “acceptable” and “gentile” society functions. When one learns these important lessons, it will be much clearer why we need the governing elite to retain the power that befits their station in life.
More to come…..

AUSTIN — On the eve of a campaign appearance in Texas for Rick Perry, Sarah Palin served notice that she’s not happy the governor’s top political adviser used the word “retarded” to describe campaign logistics.
Dave Carney, Perry’s long-time political guru, used the word several times in a conference call about arrangements for the first gubernatorial debate last month sponsored by KERA.
During the call among campaign representatives, Carney complained that one candidates’ holding room would be in a different building than the debate.
“That’s just retarded,” Carney said. “That’s the most retarded thing I’ve ever heard.”
Palin’s youngest son Trig has Down syndrome. The former vice presidential candidate has written on her Facebook page that using the word “retarded” is “a slur on all God’s children” with developmental disabilities.
When The Wall Street Journal reported that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel used the term during a closed-door meeting with liberal Democrats and others, Palin called Emanuel’s choice of words “unacceptable” and said he should be fired. Emanuel has since apologized.
Palin’s spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, condemned Carney’s remarks but did not call for the Perry consultant to lose his job.
“Gov. Palin believes crude and demeaning name-calling at the expense of others is disrespectful,” Stapleton said.
With Palin scheduled to headline a Perry campaign rally in the Houston area Sunday, the Republican governor moved today to stem the controversy.
Perry spokesman Mark Miner disassociated the governor from Carney’s remarks.
“It was an unfortunate choice of words, and the governor is extremely disappointed,” Miner said.
Carney could not be reached for comment.
Carney, a Republican political consultant based in New Hampshire, has advised Perry for more than a decade. He is credited with molding Perry’s campaign message — an unrelenting attack on Washington and, by extension, on U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Perry’s rival for the Republican gubernatorial nomination.
Carney has a reputation for blunt speech. He was criticized last year for suggesting, in an interview with The Dallas Morning News, that broadening the Republican Party to include more moderate ideas — including those of Hutchison — could turn the GOP into a “whorehouse.”
Sunday’s re-election rally in Cypress, a Houston suburb, is expected to attract thousands of Palin supporters — conservatives whose votes Perry is seeking in the March 2 GOP primary. Rocker Ted Nugent, a staunch advocate of gun rights, is scheduled to open the event by playing the national anthem.
Miss Pity Pat Pantaloon, you are, indeed, clever, far beyond, as our esteemed President Lincoln said, “our poor power to add or detract.” Certainly, Governor Perry’s advisor should have exercised more care to keep his epithets to himself. They certainly do not have any place in polite, aristocratic society, particularly when they cast the Governor is such a negative light. Goodness gracious, the Governor has been beset with enough problems lately without enticing that teabagging commoner, Sarah Palin, to diminish her glowing endorsement of him. At least, she had the common decency not to create a big scene by demanding the resignation of his advisor as she had so vocally done in the case of President Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. All people have their little foibles and we cannot allow these to take our attention away from the clear fact that Governor Perry is one of those special :weep: individuals who sincerely believes that he knows what is best for us. He does believe that, doesn’t he Miss Pity? He’s not a mouthpiece for those more elite than he is, is he? Tell me it’s not so. Oh, this is so distressing! :struggle:
Sarah Palin was very upset about Rush Limbaugh using such terms as ‘retards’. Instead of endorsing Rick Perry, it might behoove Palin to endorse Debra Medina instead.
There again, underground ‘chatter’ says that Perry may have the Whitehouse in his gunsight and Palin wants to be his running mate. She’d be better off endorsing Medina. There’s been a lot of evidence lately showing he hasn’t been straight with us and our tax money.
Miss Pitt’y’s mood – “Pitty Happy”
Miss Pitty totally agrees with you and wonders if you would like to guest column with her. Please reply herein and I will make the arrangements. My, you have made my day, gentle reader.. Perhaps both of us can persuade the lower classes that the arrogant aristocracy must retain power. While distressing, we must engage with those who are “less than” but not to fear, after we obtain their votes, we can return to the gentile life of lies, deception, and corruption.
