Palin: Madeleine Albright's Starbucks cup quote
She is quoting Madeleine Albright, who said - and was quoted on a Starbucks cup: 'There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women."
Oh - and the point to liberals is that Palin, speaking off teleprompter, unlike Obama who even used one a t a rodeo - "misquoted" Albright by using the word support rather than help . Yes, that's right, for our intellectually superior brethren, this counteracts the gist of what Palin was confronting: they hypocrisy of the left.
A bigger deal than all the Obama gaffes and Biden gaffes, of course. Kinda like their jumping all over the governor's jet/Ebay story when it was reported that Palin sold the jet on Ebay rather than that she listed it on Ebay. After listing it twice, she sold it to another buyer - the point being that she cut down the trappings of power in Alaska.

Sarah Palin’s Starbucks visit created quite a stir. Starbuck’s Quote #287: “There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women,” first appeared on coffee cups during Hillary Clinton's bid for the presidency, about a year ago. The message was rather clear: nominate Hillary, or suffer eternal damnation. For Starbuck's to make it public, it must have had some redeeming social value. But speaking of old news did you know, Madeleine K. Albright, the quote’s originator, may or may not even believe in hell? According to my sketchy knowledge of theology, hell is a tenet of the Christian religion.
Only Christian women who failed to vote for Hillary will be thrown into the pit? Madam Albright is a convert to the Episcopal Church. But believe you me, even though the church is a Christian denomination, certainly no real Episcopalian believes he or she shall be consigned to that place, much less a special place where the wicked are punished for declining to vote for Hillary. According to Ms. Albright, "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.” Were Madeleine to be believed, it’s just something she bellowed from a motel room window that was miraculously transcribed onto a paper cup. Honestly, to hear her tell it you’d think the woman had been chained to an oar:

I've been staying away from mainstream media recently - Are they really making a flap over this?!?! Good gracious! Because she missed one word? A synonym?
Yet everyone has completely forgotten Biden's plagiarism issues which lost him a bid for the white house in '88?!?!?! Aack!
