"Get your retarded uncle. Get him to vote. Anybody you know with an arm, bring him down."-Get out the vote advice comedian Chris Rock gave to Obama supporters in Tampa Bay, Florida this weekend.

Hmmph. Mr. Rock could have at least said "Special Needs Uncle." Call me fussy, but I don't think "retarded" is appropriate surrogate speak. Even if you're a comedian.
