Palin criticizes Clinton over protest

September 17, 2008 09:48 AM

Hillary Clinton has carefully avoided directly criticizing Sarah Palin, but the same courtesy apparently doesn't work the other way.

Palin's spokeswoman this morning issued a statement hitting Clinton for pulling out of a protest being organized by several Jewish groups outside the United Nations on Sept. 22 against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Clinton cancelled after finding out that Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, also planned to be there.

"Governor Palin believes that the danger of a nuclear Iran is greater than party or politics. She hopes that all parties can rally together in opposition to this grave threat," said Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for Palin.

Clinton aides were furious at organizers, saying they first learned from reporters that both Clinton and Palin were scheduled to appear, the Associated Press is reporting.

"Her attendance was news to us, and this was never billed to us as a partisan political event," Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines told the AP. "Senator Clinton will therefore not be attending."

A meeting would have been awkward, to say the least, bringing into the media spotlight the woman who nearly won the Democratic nomination and the woman now courting Clinton's loyalists.

Palin reportedly plans to meet foreign heads of state at the UN. Amid questions about her lack of foreign policy experience, she acknowledged last week that she has never met one.

This article makes no sense whatsoever.

How does have both a democrat and a republican appear make it a "partisan" event, rather than a "bipartisan" one?


Let's be honest... Hillary just doesn't like having to share the spotlight... Or maybe she doesn't want to appear on SNL again...

Or maybe, just maybe, she didn't want the event to be turned into a retake of the SNL sketch - given the bending and stretching of the truth that has gone on she was probably wise to leave it be.

lol. You see what you want to see. Sarah's/McCain's officials, probably miffed that Hillary ditched her and the event said ((( "Governor Palin believes that the danger of a nuclear Iran is greater than party or politics," Schmitt told Fox News. "She hopes that all parties can rally together in opposition to this grave threat."))))

As if Hillary doesn't know that. lol. Hillary didn't want any parts of Sarah and her insults or sarcasm, and I don't blame her.
