After seeing her wonderful display of US history knowledge, I have decided to replace the words "retard" and "retarded" in my vocabulary with "Palin." Imagine:

• "That is the most Palin thing I've ever heard anyone say."

• "Did you see that guy's driving? Is he a Palin or something?"

• "Hey you bully! Don't pick on those Palin kids!"

Well, maybe not the last one...
