Palin Misquotes Albright: “Place in Hell reserved for women who don’t support other women”

As if I needed another reason to roll my eyes at this woman.

Addressing a crowd at a rally in California yesterday, Gov. Sarah Palin served us lady-folk a "providential" ultimatum. From the article :

"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.’"

Nevermind that Albright never said that, or that the real quote is "There’s a place in hell for women who don’t help other women", or that a vote in support of Mrs. Palin would probably hurt other women… but what is this folksy hockey mom doing drinking Starbucks? Doesn’t she know that’s elitest?!

Anyway, here’s the video:

Please, fellow feminists. Discuss. Oh, and don’t even get me STARTED on that glass ceiling bulls**t.
