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

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.)


Palin seemed to realize that the line could be viewed as grating. As the audience cheered, she remarked: "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."


 


LOL as the audience cheered - must have been the Stepford crowd...

I recall the story about the small child who hit his mother and died (sort of divine overkill). When the put him in his coffin his arm shot straight up into the air and had to be cut off so that they could close the coffin.

I think Palin found a quote that worked for her speech, whether she found it on that cup, or a staffer gave it to her as poltical fodder knowing that a Democrat would hate being cited in a Republican speech.
