What a ballsy thing for Palin to say! I wonder if she deliberately misquoted just to make a point...

exactly. I mean she is a part of ticket that has not been very progressive when it comes to women's rights, so ultimately her "words" could be used against her.

They way Palin (mis)used that quote frustrates me. I didn't know there was a place in hell for me because I disagreed with her politics. I wonder where her place is?

I think its a very big deal that she couldn't even get the freakin' qoute right. But its nice to see her admit she is going to hell...

Considering all the things that are in the drinking game list, I'm surprised I'm not sloshed 24/7 at this point :ROTFL:

Very diplomatic smack upside the head from Albright :)

Nuance is going to have to go into the drinking game pool!

There is a difference between help and support. Nuance matters. And I think Albright set both Palin and McCain straight. "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."
