Sarah Palin Blasts Use of ‘Retard,’ Except for Rush Limbaugh

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin doesn't find the humor in "Family Guy," calling the show "cruel and cold hearted," yet she had kinder words for Rush Limbaugh on the same controversial issue.

Of a passing reference to her on "Family Guy" made by a character with Down syndrome, Sarah said she took it personally and found it to be offensive. "This world is full of cruel, cold hearted people who would do such a thing," she told Bill O'Reilly on "The O'Reilly Factor" Tuesday night.

Her son Trig also has Down syndrome. "Trig is going to have a pretty tough, challenging life ahead of him," she said. "Much more difficult than we ever will, so why make it tougher on the special needs community? That's what I thought when I first heard about this episode."
