Clint Eastwood was quoted, “I was at a function, and a bunch of political types were there. And John McCain was there. He came up to say hello, I said, ‘Look, don’t even ask it. I will not be your vice president. I have to be on the top of the ticket.’” (Source: Yahoo!)
That’s what she said. Okay, The Office jokes asides, Sarah Palin decides to quote Madeleine Albright upon seeing it on the Starbucks coffee cup - “Place In Hell Reserved For Women Who Don’t Support Other Women”.
Firstly, it was a misquotation, she can’t read her cup well. But the cup says “There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t help other women.”
The crowd cheered while Palin predicted the media going to turn this around. They probably are going to, probably did. But thing is, Madeleine Albright responded.
Albright responded to Palin’s remarks in a statement to the Huffington Post on Sunday. “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.” [via Huffington Post]
