... Albright on her Starbucks drink: "There's a special place in hell for women who don't support other women." Palin comments: "Now she said it, I didn't."

In part 2 Palin talks about Obama's association with Ayers. albrightquote.jpg At what James Taranto calls the Puffington Host (from which I have taken the photo above), Governor Palin's citation of the Albright quote is the subject of a brutal fact check .

... And as Governor Palin essentially predicted, the Huffington Host (source of the photo at the top of this post - via Powerline), Governor Palin's citation of the Albright quote is the subject of a brutal fact check that chides Governor Palin for getting the quote slightly wrong, replacing the word "help" with the synonym "support." ...

... . The highlight? The ‘Cuda quoting Madeleine Albright off the back of a Starbucks coffee cup as saying, “There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.” Or almost quoting: A photo of the cup at HuffPo shows the operative word is “help,” not “support.” Whatevs. She aimed for the center of the identity politics bullseye and hit the innermost ring instead. This one’s for you, ...

Palin Plays The Gender Card And Fox Has No Problem With It
News Hounds —
... I only caught about 15 minutes of this morning’s Weekend Fox&Friends; but in 15 minutes they gosh darned (I’m learning Palin-speak) got in a lot of propaganda. There were several references to Obama and Bill Ayers. There was an interview, about why women who supported Clinton should support McCain, with a gentleman who supported Clinton and is now supporting McCain. And then they played a clip of Palin’s commentary, yesterday, at a California rally. The clip was a straight up playing of the gender card with a little old time religion thrown in. You betcha, there was no follow up ...
McCain campaign unmuzzles Palin

... And proving once again that the rabid right thrive on cognitive dissonance, Palin apparently garnered great applause by quoting a Starbucks coffee cup. Leaving aside that she couldn't even get a single sentence quote right, for eight years now I've hearing the right whine about "limousine liberals" who drink Starbucks coffee. So how come it's suddenly acceptable and how does that fit the "hockey mom" image? I thought they only drink Dunkin Donuts coffee. ...

"There's a place in hell reserved for women who don't support other women."—Sarah Palin, claiming she was quoting former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, though Albright's actual quote, in a twist of irony too awesome for words, is actually: "There's a place in hell reserved for women who don't help other women." ...

... go over. And now California, let’s see what a comment like I just made, let’s see what it will be turned into . . . newspaper.”
Well, how about the blog instead of the newspaper?
Anyway, turns out, according to CBS News’ Scott Conroy, that Palin got the quote slightly wrong. Albright actually said, “There is a place in hell reserved for women who don’t help other women.”
So can Palin’s tweak be construed as changing the meaning of the quote?
Some certainly think so.

Writer At HuffPo Befuddled By Concept Of Synonym
Blue Crab Boulevard —
... The nearly breathless headline screams: Palin Misquotes Albright . Ohmigod! It must be another “scandal” that marks (yet again) the end of McCain’s racist notion that anyone should vote for him. At a rally on Saturday in California, 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.… Actually, Albright didn’t say that. The accurate quote is, “There’s a place in ...

... this whopper himself so he sends the hapless Mooselini of Wasilla out to repeat it while he hides away in one of his dozen homes and refuses to respond to questions from the press about why his campaign is rolling around in the gutter after promising the nation not to. Palin should still be in her remedial campaign classes learning basic geography so she stops mixing up Afghanistan and Mexico instead of running around the country spreading her lies, poisonous racism and divisiveness on behalf of Senator Chickenshit's increasingly hopeless and desperate ...
Palin Twists Madeleine Albright’s Words
The Democratic Daily —
... I was browsing through Memeorandum to check the scoops of the day that I have missed and ran across a couple of pieces about Sarah Palin at a rally here in California. It’s seems that Palin misquoted former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and then laughed that the media would spin what she said, but the problem for Palin is that she indeed did not get the quote right. So let the media do what they will, she stepped in it on her own. Watch it here: ...

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is taking serious issue with Sarah Palin's misquotation of her at a rally on Saturday, declaring that "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women."

... Palin quotes Albright, citing a Starbucks cup as her source -- "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women." The only difference from what Albright actually said is Palin substituting "support" for "help," yet the reaction from liberals was predictably indignant (Albright, for example, told The Huffington Post that it was "yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth"). ...

But you know, there's also a special place in hell for women who make a whole CAREER out of telling OTHER women to stay at home – especially when that woman has a history full of personal baggage that doesn't exactly lend itself to the “family values” agenda she's peddling. Despite the more obvious hypocrisies in Family Values Dr. Laura Schlessinger's world – she was ...
