Palin criticizes Hillary Clinton over protest... I can't believe it either

[darius15]

Hillary Clinton has carefully avoided directly criticizing Sarah Palin, but the same courtesy apparently doesn't work the other way.

Palin's spokeswoman this morning issued a statement hitting Clinton for pulling out of a protest being organized by several Jewish groups outside the United Nations on Sept. 22 against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Clinton cancelled after finding out that Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, also planned to be there.

"Governor Palin believes that the danger of a nuclear Iran is greater than party or politics. She hopes that all parties can rally together in opposition to this grave threat," said Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for Palin.

Clinton aides were furious at organizers, saying they first learned from reporters that both Clinton and Palin were scheduled to appear, the Associated Press is reporting.

"Her attendance was news to us, and this was never billed to us as a partisan political event," Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines told the AP. "Senator Clinton will therefore not be attending."

A meeting would have been awkward, to say the least, bringing into the media spotlight the woman who nearly won the Democratic nomination and the woman now courting Clinton's loyalists.

Palin reportedly plans to meet foreign heads of state at the UN. Amid questions about her lack of foreign policy experience, she acknowledged last week that she has never met one.

John McCain's campaign weighed in as well. “Earlier this week Governor Palin accepted an invitation to join Hillary Clinton in speaking to a nonpartisan rally organized by groups dedicated to halting Iran's nuclear program. Senator Clinton has since withdrawn from the engagement, presumably at the behest of the Obama campaign, and according to news reports Senator Obama's campaign may be leaning on organizers to disinvite Governor Palin as well lest the rally appear partisan," spokesman Michael Goldfarb said in a statement.

"This issue is too important to fall victim to partisan politics. Instead of pressuring Senator Clinton to withdraw and pressuring the event's organizers to disinvite Governor Palin, we hope Senator Obama will consider lending his own voice to this cause."

How dare Sarah Palin criticize Hillary Clinton? Hillary was fighting for the American people when Palin was a little girl hunting wolves.

[Ian David]

9. Told you...

[gatorboy]

10. McCain and Mooselini are trying to get the attention off of the Wall St. catastrophe.

And back to this fluff bullshit. I don't see it working as well this time. To much real shit is hitting the fan at the moment.

[lamp_shade]

17. ... or they're trying to stage a big "cat fight" for media attention.

[Imagevision]

13. Tina Fey then Amy Poeler; 'Hillary and I don't agree on...'anything'...!

[Median Democrat]

14. McCain Needs A Photo-Op With Palin and Clinton For A Handing Off The Torch Commercial

That is what is really upsetting McCain. They need that photo-op. Now, they will be stuck with photo-shop.

[BlueStateGirl]

20. It was kind of smart move by McCain. A picture of Hillary and Palin

being cordial gives Palin credibilty she doesn't deserve, and undercuts Obama.

A picture of Hillary appearing to snub Palin plays into the disrespectful meme.

Hillary canceling her appearance allows them to question her patriotism and accuse of her of bitter partisanship.

I hope she rips their throats out.

15. Patty Judge of Iowa is not afraid to criticize Falin

Sarah knows how to field-dress a moose. I know how to castrate a calf. Neither of those things has anything at all to do with this election. But since we know so much about Sarah’s special skills, I wanted to make sure you knew about mine too,” she said

19. Oh, Sarah, no no no no

You have no idea what a pitbull is until you piss off Hillary.

[Teacher in SC]

21. Palin wouldn't know where Iran is located on a map, much less be able to pronounce Ahmadinejad!

Give me a break! The McCain spin doctors are spinning so fast they'll soon turn into whirling dervishes!

22. Hillary will not give Palin and McCain that photo op they are desperate for.

They want that pic of Hillary and Sarah together in an attempt to sway over Clinton supporters. Hillary is way to smart for that crap.
