Don't know the context...can anyone illuminate?

This sounds a lot like the story where she called Christina Aguilera an ‘air-headed diva’.

Which later turned out to be a hoax.

This doesn’t sound like her. I don’t buy it.

From reading the article, it sounds like much to do about nothing. Just some liberals trying to muckrake and start an internal brawl.

Maybe his comment to Matt Lauer about CPAC and her being busy in Alaska with all those kids? Wonder when she said that though?

[ScottinVA]

I saw the interview w/Hannity. She did NOT call Santorum that. She said... since Santorum clarified his statements as to why Palin wasn’t attending CPAC ... she won’t call him a knuckledragging neanderthal. She JOKINGLY said, she’d leave that to his wife.

Good job, CNN. Grab that rumor and run with it... Vetting, Schmetting.

can’t we all just get along?

[MountainWoman]

She said “I’m not going to call him a knuckle-dragging neanderthal...I’ll let his wife do that.” haha!

[screaminsunshine]

Lib Media grasping at straws.

Can you believe anything you read in the Chicago Tribune?

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[flowerplough]

If the quote’s accurate, then ain’t she likely characterized a caribou-killing Cro-Magnon?

[Bigtigermike]

I saw the interview: she said that she won’t call him a knuckledragging neanderthal, she’ll just leave it up to his wife....it was joke

Big-picture wise, I think those of us (I'm one) who have been skeptical of Sarah Palin's chances should pay close attention to how absolutely bat-excrement she drives the left. Why? Why does she make them run around and act like crazy people?

It could well be because they know, deep down, that she can win in 2012 just like Reagan won in 1980. And that she can be a historically great president.

I hate to say it, but I'm still skeptical.

[rockinqsranch]

This is that damaging hoax again I believe. If it is then we must get the word out to all FReepers, and everybody we know that there is this hoax going about. It’s damaging to let this go without addressing the consequences of repeating it.

“I will not call him the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal," Palin said.

[SubMareener]

I saw the exchange, and Sarah specifically said she was not going to call Rick a ‘knuckle-dragging Neanderthal’. She was going to let his wife call him that! After seeing what Santorum said, I would agree that someone should let him know that he was behaving like a ‘knuckle-dragging Neanderthal’.

EVERY TIME PALIN SAYS 'HI' TO THE MAILMAN DOES NOT HAVE TO BE BREAKING NEWS. CAN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST HAVE WORSHIP SERVICES TWICE A WEEK LIKE MOST RELIGIONS?

You Tube video of her comment, in context.

IMHO she did it to get under his skin....

He tries to come across as the school principal at times and he is a bit narky in his own right, almost downright full of himself and his education and Senate experience. A bit lowball yes, living rent free in his head as well, priceless, she has his number and it might be 1-800-RNC-RINO....
