A Clinton aid has said that Sen. Clinton will not be attending a demonstration at the UN headquarters because of Sarah Palin's attendance.
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton canceled her appearance at a demonstration against the president of Iran after learning Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be there, a Clinton aide said on Wednesday.
A group of Jewish organizations had said both Palin and Clinton would speak at the protest near the United Nations on Monday against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has said Israel should be wiped off the map.
According to Reuters, Clinton adviser Philippe Reines said the New York senator would not be attending. He stated that
(Palin's) attendance was news to us, and this was never billed to us as a partisan political event," he said in an e-mail.
McCain/Palin/Bush campaign responded by releasing a statement that
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.
I believe we are seeing an attempt to "build up" Palin's foreign affairs credentials you know she visited Iraq, oh wait, umm Ireland, ooooh, umm Kuwait!!! OH YA KUWAIT!!!, ummm Germany? OH and she flew over Canada to come to the lower 48, that counts right! Well now she will have "addressed" the UN. Entirely ready to be a republican VP she already has the lying, secretiveness and cronyism down what else does she need?
Oh! and has anyone heard that Sarah Palin email was hacked!!! I defiantly didnt read the thousand or so diaries about it already!
