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.

Hmmm... If both parties are in attendance represented equally, that would make it "bipartisan". By pulling out, she effectively "made" it partisan. This is a poor cover argument for someone who simply fears (my opinion) being upstaged in public. Personally, I think it would be good for Hillary to retain her female supporters by standing with Palin. But, then again, she may not *want* the support of "those" women.

Clearly there was some miscommunication because this was never billed to us as a partisan political event. And having both parties represented by high profile figures would be partisan political how precisely? I just can't follow liberal logic sometimes.

Hillary was afraid she’d make a fool of herself by coming on to the Governor.

What a maroon.
