Governor Schwarzenegger Gives Palin His Full Approval

Gov. Arnold loves Sarah Palin, warns against counting John McCain out early

We're a little late with this one, but whenever Gov. Arnold speaks, The Ticket listens. Eventually.

The other day California's top official -- well, not counting Ron Burkle -- did an onstage interview for an audience of magazine executives gathered in San Francisco.

Turns out, the gov is a huge fan of fellow Republican Gov. Sarah Palin. "I think that she would be a great vice president," said Schwarzenegger, shown here during recent budget negotiations with legislators.

When he saw Palin after her VP nomination in St. Paul, Schwarzenegger said he said, "That's what's wrong with the Constitution," which forbids him, being foreign-born, from becoming president. "Miss Alaska is beating Mr. Universe."

The California chief executive reported that the Alaska chief executive didn't think the joke was that funny.

But Schwarzenegger did warn his audience of out-of-towners against accepting in advance a loss on Nov. 4 by Sen. John McCain. "People," the gov said, "always count him out at the wrong time."

Palin Creates a Coffee Cup Stir in California

Palin was introduced by Shelly Mandell, the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women. Mandell said she was supporting Palin as an individual; NOW’s national political action committee has backed Obama.

“Hey, she's gonna work on persuading John McCain on ANWR, I'm gonna work on persuading her on things of my own,” Mandel said of Palin. “I know Sarah Palin cares about women’s rights, she cares about equality, she cares about equal pay.”

Palin also cited Democratic secretary of state Madeleine Albright, whose words she read on the cup of her morning Starbucks coffee.

“She said, ‘there’s a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.’” Palin said. “OK now thank you so much for receiving well. I didn’t know how that was going to go over. And now California, let’s see what a comment that I just made how that is turned into whatever it’ll be turned into tomorrow in the newspaper.”

Well, the Huffington Post thought it so important they published an article with this large text headline:

Palin Misquotes Albright: "Place In Hell Reserved For Women Who Don't Support Other Women"

And even published a photo of the cup to prove they were right.

I guess their brilliant reporters never heard of paraphrasing.

It's going to be a long month!!!
