I don't want to be compared to the Moose-Shooter!

Life doesn't always imitate "Saturday Night Live."
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the hockey mom GOP phenom, is coming to New York next week to carry John McCain's flag at a pro-Israel, anti-Iran rally. But she won't be sharing the stage with Sen. Hillary Clinton, who backed away from the event after learning Palin was coming.
"Her attendance was news to us," Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines said last night. "Clearly there was some miscommunication because this was never billed to us as a partisan political event. Sen. Clinton will therefore not be attending this event."
Malcolm Hoenlein, executive director of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, earlier said the McCain campaign confirmed Palin would attend the rally Monday, which coincides with the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.

SARAH- the woman who made “Cankles” quake!
So, let me get this straight: People from both parties were invited to the event, but because someone from the other party will be attending you are refusing to attend and justify your decision to refuse to attend on the event being a "partisan political event"?
I can see the comparison.
Hillary: I think foreign diplomacy should be the centerpiece of any administration.
Palin: And I can see my new house in Washington from here.
You mean a pro-Israel reception in NYC is a partisan political event? Who would have guessed
Hillary and Huma will stay home that night, maybe watch a movie, munch popcorn
LOL!
I get it. When a Democrat gets invited it's NOT a "political event". When a Republican gets invited it's a "political event". Yep. I get it now.
She’s afraid of Palin, but she can be depended upon to protect Israel?
“ahhhh whats the matter Hillary???? afraid Sarah will upstage you???? LOLOL”
Say that again please!!!!!
Say what?
Having both there makes it non-partisan or at least bi-partisan. Her pulling out is partisan and gutless.

“..Sen. Hillary Clinton, who backed away from the event after learning Palin was coming.”
What does it take for Jews to finally realize that Hitlery’s apparent pro-Israel stance is merely empty talk.
This is probably the most petty stunt I think Hillary has ever pulled. LOL
Afraid to see the comparison on the applause-o-meter?
What a moron! Its partisan no since Hillary won’t be there! If she were to go, it would be non-partisan as both parties would be represented.
“. . .it was never billed to us as a partisan political event.”
Well, maybe that’s because it wasn’t: it was supposed to be an American event opposing the lunatic Iranian semi-dictator, Holocaust-denier, and wannabe genocidal maniac. Now thanks to Sen. Clinton pulling out it may turn into a partisan political event, at least of all the other folks from her party pull out.
