73. There are many dictionaries on the web and elsewhere.

Those dictionaries define the word "retarded" as an adjective related to persons.

None of them define the word "retarded," or the phrase "fucking retarded," as referring to a plan.

Rahm used the phrase as an insult in exactly the way that he used it.

Your excuse for him doesn't work.
