Maybe the "brain damaged" crack could pass as fair comment?

Which is an obnoxious thing to say, of course.
But the interesting thing is that even if it were literally true, you can't write it, because someone will be offended by it.
So we dance around a lot of things, depending on who is in power, who their friends are, and who is the squeakiest wheel that runs to the teacher the quickest.
