Stupid? What he meant was "Retarded"

Tonight's episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher" (which I
watched at 3:00 am this morning) focused on the Henry Louis
Gates imbroglio and featured some hilarious takes. Some
examples:

President Obama regrets saying "stupid." What he meant was
"retarded!"

"What kind of thief breaks into a house with luggage?"

"Airforce 1 was pulled over for a broken taillight."

"When black intellectuals strike - we take affirmative action."
