Writer At HuffPo Befuddled By Concept Of Synonym

The nearly breathless headline screams: Palin Misquotes Albright. Ohmigod! It must be another “scandal” that marks (yet again) the end of McCain’s racist notion that anyone should vote for him.

Actually, Albright didn’t say that. The accurate quote is, “There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t help other women.” [ed. ludicrous emphasis in original.]

    That depends on what the definition of “is” is.

    The trouble is good folks that don’t pay close attention to politics normally CAN be swayed by such stupidity. That is why it matters when the press decides to become partisan actors in the political process.
