No, I heard her say that she was Mayor, which was sort of like being a community organizer. . . Will try to hunt up the transcript - I heard it on NPR, and it wasn't PTA, I'm pretty sure.

eta - here you go. Still looking for the insult to the general group. Let me know where it is in the speech, jeni.eta - AH - you are talking Rudy - I'm talking Palin. Sorry. I hate Rudy, so there you go. He's an ass, and I didn't listen to his speech.

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening.

And for the record, I'm not a Palin fan. I'm just sick of BOTH candidates having their words twisted, misquoted, and the other side heaping scorn on them for things that didn't even happen. The whisper campaigns get on my last nerve, too.
