About three weeks ago, at a discussion event, Madeleine Albright took a jab at Sarah Palin. 

In discussing the environment, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour wanted to make clear all five secretaries — who also included Henry Kissinger, James Baker, Warren Christopher and Colin Powell –  were in agreement that it is mankind that causes global warming. Amidst all the “yeas” in agreement, Albright added, “Yes, except in Alaska,” which had the crowd loudly applauding the obvious jab at Sarah Palin.

At a rally over the weekend, Palin got in her own dig.  She read the quote from her Starbucks cup, which came from Madeleine Albright of all people. 

There’s a special place in Hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.

Big roar from the crowd on that one.  Except, oh no, Palin misquoted the cup!!  The quote actually says “help” not “support.”  How could she?  Albright’s statement said that “[t]his is yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth.”

Maybe Albright took her cues from her ex-boss.

 
By the way, m-w.com states help is “to give assistance or support.”
