Update: Albright corrects Palin’s coffee cup misquote


I wrote about Alaska Governor and GOP VP nominee Sarah Palin’s attempt to use former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s words to flip the gender card earlier today.

Now, the Huffington Post includes input from Albright herself:

Albright responded to Palin’s remarks in a statement to the Huffington Post on Sunday. “Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics. This is yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth, and all the more reason to remember that this campaign is not about gender, it is about which candidate has an agenda that will improve the lives of all Americans, including women. The truth is, if you care about the status of women in our society and in our troubled economy, the best choice by far is Obama-Biden.” [my emphasis]

Thank you, Madam Secretary.
