Sarah Palin: Women Who Don't Support Her Will Go to Hell

by Blue Stockings | Watch and laugh.

Well then---to quote Huck Finn---I'll go to Hell.

Actually, according to this HuffPost post, Palin was just misquoting Madeleine Albright.

The statement came after Palin had recounted a "providential" moment she experienced on Saturday: "I'm reading on my Starbucks mocha cup, okay? The quote of the day... It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State [crowd boos] 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 accurate quote is, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't help other women." (HuffPost)

To which Albright, who is awesome, awesomely responded:

"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."(HuffPost)

I will come too. Then we can watch Hell fill up with women together. One good may come out of Sarah Palin running for VP. When good women decide on to support her, hell will be straightened up in no time at all. :)

Incidentally,my granddaughter was named for Madeline Albright.

We may get Hell cleaned up yet...because there are a lot of women that are going there if what Palin says is true.

I posted on this misquote too. Your blog post just made me stop and think about what it was in that statement that bothered me. Take a read.
