One interesting consequence of Sarah Palin's decision to remain part of the national conversation while refusing to undergo any media scrutiny or cross-examination is that her lying is growing increasingly blatant, casual and even effortless.
Case in point: On Fox News yesterday, Palin explained why it's okay that Rush Limbaugh used the word "retard" even as Rahm Emanuel's use of the term "retarded" constituted a firing offense:
PALIN: I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel has been reported, did say that. There's a big difference there. But again, name-calling, using language that is insensitive, by anyone, male, female, Republican, Democrat, is unnecessary. It's inappropriate. Let's all just grow up.
So Palin's claim is now that Rush didn't refer to people he disagrees with by using the R-word. But of course, Rush did exactly that:
