WASHINGTON —(Fox)- [1] Hillary Clinton has pulled out of an appearance at a New York rally next week to protest Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, her aides say because she doesn’t want to be seen alongside Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in a “partisan” event.
Several American Jewish groups plan a major rally outside the United Nations on Sept. 22. Clinton had previously accepted the invitation to join, but her aides objected when they learned the Alaska governor will be part of the rally. Palin is also expected to meet with several foreign ministers during the U.N.’s opening General Assembly session.
“Her attendance was news to us, and this was never billed to us as a partisan political event,” Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines said Wednesday. “Sen. Clinton will therefore not be attending.”

So, Philippe, let’s make sure I understand you, here, now.
If Hillary Clinton is the only political attendee, it’s non-partisan, but if Sarah Palin shows up and might be seen with Clinton, uniting against Ahmadinejad, suddenly, it’s a partisan event?
Ummm. Yeah. Okaaayyyyy..(Backing away)
(over PA spakers) George Orwell, white Courtesy phone… Mr George Orwell, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Look, I knew Palin was driving them off their rockers, but I’d no idea it was this bad.
