Palin Denounces Limbaugh Over 'Retard' Cracks, Glenn Beck Next?

Sarah Palin makes an excellent public scold. We've yet to see a single substantial policy idea out of her ("Drill, baby, drill!" is not policy), much less any detailed ideas about how to solve the very real problems facing this country, some of which are only inflamed by people like her. However, she certainly has enjoyed telling eveyone else what to say, think, and do, however, behind her bullet-proof podium of Facebook and Fox.

I'm glad she showed enough self-awareness to realize she couldn't hyperventilate over Emanuel and bypass Limbaugh & Co. But having used her child as a political prop (yet again) she's now boxed herself into her Finger-Shaking Tour 2010.

After Beck, next stop: Ann Coulter, Tucker Carlson....

P.S. Since she feels so strongly about this, maybe next time she could donate more than $1,000 from her PAC to special-needs groups? Geez, she spent about $7,000 on an autopen; you'd think she could spare a little more.
