Trouble In Sarahdice

by digby

Uh oh. Sarah’s gonna get yelled at:

Sen. John McCain retracted Sarah Palin’s stance on Pakistan Sunday morning, after the Alaska governor appeared to back Sen. Barack Obama’s support for unilateral strikes inside Pakistan against terrorists “She would not…she understands and has stated repeatedly that we’re not going to do anything except in America’s national security interest,” McCain told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos of Palin. “In all due respect, people going around and… sticking a microphone while conversations are being held, and then all of a sudden that’s—that’s a person’s position… This is a free country, but I don’t think most Americans think that that’s a definitve policy statement made by Governor Palin.” Saturday night, while on a stop for cheesesteaks in South Philadelphia, Palin was questioned by a Temple graduate student about whether the U.S. should cross the border from Afghanistan into Pakistan. “If that’s what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should,” Palin said.

I saw the interview and Maverick looked mighty peeved. Daddy doesn’t like being embarrassed on TV. Somebody’s going to be in restriction for a good long while for that one.
