Palin...a progressive?

"At a rally today in California, Gov. 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.

The statement came after Palin had recounted a "providential" moment she experienced on Saturday: "I'm reading on my Starbucks mocha cup, ok? The quote of the day... It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State [crowd boos] and UN ambassador. ... Now she said it, I didn't. She said, 'There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women.'"

Actually, Albright didn't say that. The real quote is, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't help other women."

There's video at the source. Source

She got big applause after saying Starbucks. WTf?

She also said "In November, all of us who consider ourselves progressive - yeah, at the same time, we can be conservative - we're gonna shatter the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America."

Did she forget which party she's running for?

feminism, madeleine albright, sarah palin / palin family
