Palin: Women Who Don't Support Other Women Go to Hell

It's not a good sign when a potential president fouls up a famous quote, particularly when she's reading it off of a piece of paper and when she picked it up from a Starbucks cup earlier that morning. At a California rally yesterday, Sarah Palin told an enthusiastic crowd, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women."

She was misquoting Madeline Albright, who once said, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't help other women." In this case, "help" and "support" may be polar opposites.

Palin goes on to wonder how "a comment like I just made, how it will be turned into whatever it will be turned into tomorrow in the newspaper." Well, I'm going to let you, the people, turn that comment into whatever you turn that comment into after you watch this video.

Political Nanny's Playground: Fox Pundit Starts Shoving Match

An angry, antsy and entitled Bill O’Reilly caused a scene Saturday afternoon during a New Hampshire campaign rally when, attempting to speak face-to-face with Barack Obama, he shoved the senator’s 6’8” bodyguard, called him an SOB and then, evading any personal self-reflection, declared the bodyguard “low class.”

Cute!

The whole scene is hilariously retold (including details of people shouting “hate-monger” at O’Reilly and flipping him off) by Slate’s John Dickerson, who, incidentally, would make a great Political Manny: he confesses to having, in the heat of the moment, yelled at O’Reilly to “grow up!”

“ … which was thoroughly unprofessional, except that I have little kids and I think it's important to discipline misbehavior immediately. If I don't dare to discipline, they'll grow up to be like, well, Bill O'Reilly.”

Forgiven!

Obama eventually talks to O’Reilly, who is trying to get the leading Democratic candidate on his show. Obama tells him there are people waiting in line. Scroll down and watch the events unfold here.
