Dear Mrs. Palin,
This is satire.

What Rush did was capitalize on the chance to use the same word you denounced to further bash the same group of people Rahm bashed. Neither was acceptable and neither is your failure to call him out.
BTW - I'm loving my hopy changy stuff!
How's that mavericky folksy stuff working out for you?
Sincerely,
Chris
About Me
- Chris
- Austin, Texas, United States
- I am a seminary student at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. At first it was somewhat strange being back in school for the first time in 18 years, but I love what I am studying and have quite a different approach and attitude than I did as an undergraduate. Before starting graduate school I was the Youth Director at the First Presbyterian Church of Annapolis. I coordinated youth fellowship, Sunday school, summer mission trips, confirmation class and anything else that involved the 6th through 12th grade students. I was also the Facilities Manager as well but an accident changed that. In March of 2008 I fell at work and shattered my right knee. I had multiple surgeries and now my right leg isn't quite what it used to be. My knee only bends about 40-45 degrees and I can not stand or walk for extended lengths of time. It has a taken a bit of adjusting getting used to being partially disabled, but in the grand scheme of things it could have been much worse. I am now truly a member of "The Ministry of Silly Walks."
