Sarah Palin Apologizes For Remarks On Pope Francis

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/14/sarah-palin-pope-francis_n_4277402.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

Former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin apologized Thursday for her criticism of Pope Francis and his "liberal" statements.

"It was not my intention to be critical of Pope Francis," Palin wrote Thursday on her Facebook page. "I was reminding viewers that we need to do our own homework on news subjects, and I hadn't done mine yet on the Pope's recent comments as reported by the media."

She continued, "I apologize for not being clearer in my response, thus opening the door to critical media that does what it does best in ginning up controversy."

During a Tuesday interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Palin said she was taken "aback" by some of the Pope's remarks.

"He's had some statements that to me sound kind of liberal, has taken me aback, has kind of surprised me," Palin said. "Unless I really dig deep into what his messaging is, and do my own homework, I’m not going to just trust what I hear in the media."


See the video and she also slurs Chris Christie being overweight. Worth the click.

She's also mentally ill, I'm convinced of it. She not only jabbers word salad spiked with neologisms, there's a flight of ideas that's very typical of hypomania plus a lot of other, more serious problems.

Sarah, get help.

Gee, Sarah, ya think? It's a bit of a regular occurrence for you.

What the hell is liberal about the Pope, anyway? That he thinks we should feed the poor? That he kinda likes the environment and thinks it should kinda be protected? Or that God loves all His kids, even the atheists, because He's not a dick? You say liberal like it's a bad thing....
