The quote attributed to her makes sense, and there’s nothing bad about it. Why do you want to assume that the news media is misreporting the quote? Palin could easily twitter if the quote was wrong, and she hasn’t.
Yes, the media twists her words, but that’s no reason to deny she said them, or to call her stupid for saying them.
I’m a Palin supporter, and I don’t know why you think she needs to “clarify her remarks”. They were perfectly acceptable remarks, and no clarification is needed.
I agree, she doesn’t have to clarify anything. She was five years old, her brother needed medical attention, they went to Canada, big freakin deal.
The original ‘piece’ took the quote out of context, and the usual suspects ran with it. I never asked for clarification. People getting upset over what a 6 year old does with her parents is much ado about nothing.
