Palin Says the Darndest Things

Sarah Palin yesterday:


Palin regaled the cheering crowd with a story about how she was reading her Starbucks mocha cup yesterday, which featured a quotation from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

"Now she said it, I didn't," Palin said of Albright. "She said, 'There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women.'"

I wasn't aware of that particular circle, but then I haven't studied Dante.  Now what was it Palin said before...Oh, yes:


Once onstage, together with Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, Palin talked about what women expect from women leaders; how she took charge in Alaska during a political scandal that threatened to unseat the state's entire Republican power structure, and her feelings about Sen. Hillary Clinton. (She said she felt kind of bad she couldn't support a woman, but she didn't like Clinton's whining.)

Welcome to the 10th circle, Sarah.  
I normally wouldn't bother rebutting all the nonsense that comes out of Palin's mouth, but this one betrays even more than usual her supreme lack of self-awareness.  

Naturally, she wasn't even quoting Albright correctly:


The crowd roared its approval, but according to several sources, Albright actually said, "there's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't help other women."

I'm sure those Wasilla rape victims appreciated all the "help" they got from Palin's town too.
