Sarah Palin misquotes Madeleine Albright, Starbucks coffee cup

At a California rally on Saturday, however, Palin told an adoring crowd she'd recently seen a quotation she liked on her cup of Starbucks mocha.

It came from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, a staunch Hillary Clinton backer who now supports Barack Obama.

"Now she said it, I didn't," Palin said of Albright. "She said, ‘There's a place in hell reserved for women who don't support other women.'"

As it turns out, Palin misquoted both Albright and her mocha cup, which reads: "There's a place in hell reserved for women who don't help other women."

At least for the moment, Albright had the last word. "Though I am flattered that Gov. Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics," Albright told the Huffington Post.

"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."

1. Jesus H. Christ!!!

She's actually stooping to threatening women with eternal damnation if she doesn't get their votes. This is pathetic and scary and so many other things.

[Lucky 13]

2. Was charging rape victims $1200 for their own rape kit "helping women"?

What about blocking the rape prevention program from coming to your state - the state with the highest instances of rape per capita in the United States? Was that "helping women"?

She needs to fuck off and die.
