Palin Misquotes Albright: "Place In Hell Reserved For Women Who Don't Support Other Women"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/05/palin-misquotes-albright_n_131967.html?view=print

At a rally today in California, Gov. Sarah Palin offered up a rather jarring argument for supporting the Republican ticket. "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women," the Alaska Governor said, claiming she was quoting former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

The statement came after Palin had recounted a "providential" moment she experienced on Saturday: "I'm reading on my Starbucks mocha cup, ok? The quote of the day... It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State 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.'"

Actually, Albright didn't say that. The real quote is, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't help other women." (Sources made the same point to CBS's Scott Conroy.)

5. That is right up there with seeing the face of Jesus or Mary in a grilled cheese sandwich.

3. NEWS UPDATE: Palin officially thanks Starbucks Corp. for Word from God
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 12:49 PM by Whoa_Nelly
CA Starbucks (StupidShit MSM)- At a rally in California today, Gov. Sarah Palin gave thanks to the Good Lord Above for delivering her a special message she felt compelled to share publicly. With her hands raised in supplication, eyes closed and swaying to her inner religious drumbeat, Palin shouted her thanks to God for placing in her life a Starbucks Quote Cup.

"Dear Yahweh of The Third Wave! Blessed are you for giving me words of utter bullshit that I can turn and use in this campaign rally here today in California! We here at this rally see your light, your wisdom, and your ultimate goal as you speak to me through devotional messages encrypted on this Starbucks cup. As one of your chosen, I am honored and enlightened to be able to share your message so it may go out to the people of the world through this small gathering today."

Palin closed the rally with more thanks to God.

"May the Third Wave of Yahweh move through these people here today, and spread like wildfire into the nooks and crannies of all of the American Government as you, O Great Son of the Lord, My Jesus Christ, My Personal Savior, move me toward your Rapture, and the Rapture that will save all here today who heard your word first hand through me, your Chosen One. In praise of your wisdom and foreplay..um..foresight, I now know and share that The Third Wave of your Greatness will take me to the White House. Amen!"

After several "Hallelujahs" by a couple of people in the rally audience, Palin left the stage. As she reached the stairs to walk down from the podium, she swayed, possibly due to her religious fervor. Fortunately her Wasilla Pastor was on hand, along with Pat Robertson, to catch her as she swooned.

Gov. Palin recovered quickly and told reporters afterward that she will be stopping and getting coffee at Starbucks before every rally, as well as every upcoming interview the McCain campaign deems necessary for her attend and participate.

4. Gawd!! She is such a dimwit!!!
She took that Reagan quote out of context during the VP debate as well.
She spoke of telling our children and grandchildren about a time when democracy was in American. Of course, she either did not know, or preferred not to say..that he was talking about the growing Socialism that would ruin our country if Medicare became official policy. So she is either a total idiot or totally evil.

6. The difference between "help" and "support" is crucial.
Republicans don't believe in "help."

They believe in "support," which means, to them, paying lip service but not actually doing anything substantive.

7. You mean like women who make victims pay for their rape kits?
Sarah Palin is a walking, talking, winking embodiment of bitter irony.

8. Keep talking, Sarah, keep talking. The American voter REALLY needs to hear you, Sarah.
We really want you to speak. In public. Every day. It's OK, you're doing just fine. Don't listen to the naysayers. You just keep on talking. We're hanging on your EVERY WORD. And don't pay attention to that downward pointing line on your poll numbers. That's just a little lull before you spike again right near election day. We REALLY need to hear from you. Just remember that. Every day.
