Obama enforcer to take R- word pledge: "NEW YORK: Rahm Emanuel, the famously foul-mouthed enforcer in the Obama administration, is learning the hard way the meaning of contrition.
Not only has he been forced to apologise for his unfortunate use of the phrase ''f---ing retarded'' in a fit of annoyance at some liberal activists in a recent West Wing meeting, but he has now invited a delegation from the Special Olympics to visit him at the White House to hear him take the ''R-word pledge''.
''The meeting will be a face-to-face discussion with Rahm Emanuel about the suffering and pain of people with intellectual disabilities that is perpetuated by the use of the terms 'retard' and 'retarded' as well as the damage that can be done by the casual use of the R-word - even if it is not directed toward people with intellectual disabilities,'' the group said in a statement."
