Albright Misquoted by Empty Pantsuit
As the McCain/Palin campaign appears to be warming up for a rousing mud slinging last month of low life campaigning, the Republican Band can be heard in the distance warming up their best "El Deguello" (no quarter). In the meantime, Sarah can't seem to get anything straight:
From Ed Naha
"This week, look for more McCain nonsense, from ads claiming that Obama is an alien to Ol' John gnawing through TV cables. Also, look for some more fine musings from Pert Palin. Over the weekend, she actually declared: ""I'm reading on my Starbucks mocha cup, ok? The quote of the day... It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State (the crowd boos) and UN ambassador. ... Now she said it, I didn't. She said, 'There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women.'"
When the audience cheered, Palin grinned: "Okay, now, thank you so much for receiving that well. I didn't know how that was gonna go over. And now, California, let's see what a comment like I just made, how that is turned into whatever it'll be turned into tomorrow with the newspaper."
Well, the problem lies either with Starbucks or Palin's goo-goo eyes. The actual quote is "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't HELP other women."
Albright told "The Huffington Post," "Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics. This is yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth, and all the more reason to remember that this campaign is not about gender, it is about which candidate has an agenda that will improve the lives of all Americans, including women. The truth is, if you care about the status of women in our society and in our troubled economy, the best choice by far is Obama-Biden.""
