Ok. Now Palin has commented on Hillary's partisanship directly - get the popcorn.

[cyberpj]

:popcorn:

Palin commented on Hillary's dropping out and said "this is no time for partisan politics" re the following:

and p.s. - Sarah's still saying NU-KU-LAR - guess Republican repetition of this will eventuall just change the word forever since no one seems interested in ever correcting them.

No Joint Clinton-Palin Appearance at New York Rally

ABC News' Imtiyaz Delawala and Teddy Davis Report: In the case of the 2008 presidential election, life does not always imitate the art of well-received Saturday Night Live skit, especially where a joint appearance of Sen. Hillary Clinton and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are concerned.

Clinton backed out of a protest scheduled for Monday in New York against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's attendance at the opening of the UN General Assembly after learning that organizers also invited the Republican vice presidential nominee without informing her.

snip-
Clinton aides were described as "furious" after learning from reporters -- not rally organizers -- of the plan to have Clinton and Palin appear together.

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

Palin/McCain campaign.

21. We should ALL start using that Palin/McCain campaign line all the time. Maybe it will catch like

their constant use of the Democrat party.

11. A Freeper commented a couple days ago (after the Iran thing) that

Republicans no longer "needed" Hillary--I guess Palin/McSecondfiddle agree.

[anonymous171]

36. They only needed her when McCain wasn't winning the ultra far RW

Now that Palin is on the ticket and the RWers have joined up with him, McCain no longer needs the PUMAs. Just like his first wife, he tossed them aside.

[nc4bo]

12. Did Palin just threaten (covertly) Iran? nt

[Curtland1015]

13. ...and here Hillary was trying to stay classy.

This was a BIG mistake on her part me thinks.

[mtnester]

15. On whose part? Palin's?

Or Mrs. Clinton? I mean, if Palin called her partisan, and Mrs. Clinton did not want to participate in something that was CLEARLY partisan, but not supposed to be, and she pulled out, who stays classy?

I am thinking it was Mrs.Clinton, not Sarah Palin for making it even MORE partisan, when it was NEVER SUPPOSE TO BE.

[monmouth]

16. Hillary was absolutely correct in refusing to give McLame's campaign

a photo-op with this dingbat. They were were looking for a "cat fight" photo-op they could use with Hillary and Failin. HRC too smart for that one. Go Hill...

[blondeatlast]

14. So someone made stuff up about Hillary "attending" this conference

and she wisely declined, and this is something I should get popcorn for?

It's a made-up story about a set-up Clinton outsmarted and I don't get a problem here at all. Clinton is wise to avoid any comment. Non-story.

[cyberpj]

17. It doesn't seem "made up" that Hillary was going to attend:

"Clinton backed out of a protest scheduled for Monday in New York against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's attendance at the opening of the UN General Assembly after learning that organizers also invited the Republican vice presidential nominee without informing her."

[blondeatlast]

The Clinton staffer said she didn't even know she was on the bill. Believe what you want,

but I think they didn't even know.

You gotta admit it would make for a great Rovian rat-fuck but she was to smart for them--and I'm NOT a HRC lover, but I do admire her political savvy.

BTW; why the breathless post without any explanation when the story is TWO DAYS old?

[cyberpj]

24. because I hadn't heard about it but Palin just told the story in her speech just now on CNN & called

Hill out for 'partisan politics' on the air.

[Virginia Dare]

25. The Washington Post had an article theorizing as to who sandbagged her..

there is a former NSA member, a repuke of course, who is advising Sarah on foreign policy and is involved with this particular group that is holding the rally. I can't remember his name, but this article theorized that it could have been him who finagled Sarah to get involved in the rally. It occurred AFTER Hillary had already committed to coming. This was intended to be a political stunt to get the two of them on stage together to make it seem like they were simpatico.

[Cha]

18. I read something last night and I'll

look later for the link..it said palin was disinvited.

NOt bowed out.

[blondeatlast]

22. My bad--you are correct; she was disinvited. Thanks. nt

[Cha]

26. No problem...it was such a delight to read.

Ah, here it is now.

Original message

Palin uninvited from UN
(CNN) — Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin has been uninvited from attending a rally against Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad next week in New York, one day after Hillary Clinton nixed her appearance at the event because the Alaska governor was slated to be there.

In a statement, John McCain expressed disappointment over the decision.

"Governor Palin was pleased to accept an invitation to address this rally and show her resolve on this grave national security issue, regrettably that invitation has since been withdrawn under pressure from Democratic partisans," he said. "We stand shoulder to shoulder with Republicans, Democrats and independents alike to oppose Ahmadinejad's goal of a nuclear armed Iran. Senator Obama's campaign had the opportunity to join us. Senator Obama chose politics rather than the national interest."

30. If you don't attend this rally, it means you hate America..

that's basically what McBush is saying...:eyes:

[Cha]

34. mcliar says a lot of things that

don't mean shit. The new mccain.. everything that comes out is lie.

It's so disgusting watching someone who is running for president of our country being such a low life.

[NYC_SKP]

29. Have one of mine...

:popcorn: :thumbsup: :popcorn:

If Hillary is in any subject line, there's a 91% chance of drama.

In this case there's no reason for it, but reason is rarely a factor, quite the opposite.

[timeoutofjoint]

19. Was she speaking of Hillary? to to Hillary? This is from

your article in the OP. Nothing in this is speaking to Hillary directly:
In fact, when it comes to Iran, I hope both sides Can work together:


Palin spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt released a statement on Clinton's canceled appearance saying, "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."

Clinton's spokesman had no direct response to the argument made by Schmitt.

[cyberpj]

20. Palin spoke out on this during her speech today, broadcast on CNN when I posted.

she said Hillary backed out when she heard about herself (Palin) being there and that this was too important and was no time for partisan politics.

I'm sure they'll be relaying it all over the news tonight.

[timeoutofjoint]

28. I will have catch it later. I see there are

some other posts now addressing some speculations as to why Hillary might have dropped out..

[Virginia Dare]

23. It's a Presidential election you stupid fuck!

it's time for partisan politics...:eyes:

[Cha]

27. Maybe Tina Fey will

capture her essence again and palin can see it with the sound turned down?

SNL is being provided with endless material.

[cyberpj]

31. Tina Fey w/return not this week but next I heard. -

[Cha]

35. We'll all be waiting with

bated breath.

[anonymous171]

33. It's just like the SNL skit, only way more stupid and desperate.

Hillary is smarter than to be a used as a pawn by the Right-wing.

[krkaufman]

37. Don't be fooled by Palin's pronunciation of nu-ku-lar.

I have little doubt that she is intentionally mimicking Bush's pronunciation, to help strengthen the affinity with his supporters.
