There's a place in hell reserved for women who misquote Madeleine Albright



So, I'm gonna jump music monkey lines & write about politics for a moment. (Ed: Dr. Z, there are no genre lines when it comes to proving Sarah Palin is a liar. You feel free.) You see, Sarah Palin decided to misquote Madeleine Albright, and that's stepping on the toes of my favorite political figure of all time (in fact, I think if she and Janet Napolitano were running this joint, the world would be a better place). So, I gotta represent.

Apparently, Palin got all excited because her Starbuck's coffee cup featured a quotation from the great Madeleine Albright. She later attempted to use the quotation in a speech in CA, claiming that Secretary Albright said, "there is a special place in hell for women who don't support other women." Implying that those of use women who don't vote for her are headed straight to Satan's backyard.

Surprise, surprise...that's not what Albright said. The quotation is: "there is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." Her words had nothing to do with politics and were taken completely out of context...not surprising considering that Palin pulled the quotation from her coffee. Also, as Albright pointed out in her response, it continues to show how McCain and Palin are spinning lies all over the place.
