Life Doesn’t Imitate SNL
Apparently, the real Hillary Clinton is no more amused by the prospect of a joint appearance with Sarah Palin than Amy Poehler’s version of her was. Quoth the Ass. Press:
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has canceled an appearance at a New York rally next week after organizers blindsided her by inviting Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, aides to the senator said Tuesday.
Apparently, inviting certain people to a rally without warning them of who all else is invited constitutes “blindsiding.” Was Palin blindsided as to Hillary, too? Then again, when was the last time anyone invited you to any major event without “blindsiding” you as to who else may be invited?
It actually gets worse, though. Funny-money quote:
“Her attendance was news to us, and this was never billed to us as a partisan political event,” said Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines. “Sen. Clinton will therefore not be attending.”
‘Cuz everybody knows that if you only invite Democrats to an event, it’s not a partisan event. But if you invite Democrats and Republicans, it is.
