It is true I've never LIKED Sarah Palin, and I never thought she was intellectually qualified for VP of the US.

I even found her apology insulting.

Sarah Palin apologizes for remarks on Pope Francis

Catalina Camia, USA TODAY

Sarah Palin apologized for her recent comments about Pope Francis and what she viewed as his "liberal statements."

"It was not my intention to be critical of Pope Francis," Palin wrote Thursday on Facebook, in reference to an interview earlier this week on CNN. "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."

Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, said Tuesday on CNN that Pope Francis has made "some statements that to me sound kind of liberal, has taken me aback, has kind of surprised me." She didn't specify her concerns, but she added that "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."

Pope Francis surprised many people when he said the Catholic Church has been "obsessed" with issues such as gay marriage and abortion and sometimes "locked itself up in small things." His comments were made in an interview published in September by several Jesuit magazines.

In her Facebook post, Palin said she's been assured by Catholic friends and family that Pope Francis "is as sincere and faithful a shepherd of his church."

"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," she said.

Palin has been promoting her new book, Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas.

Coincidentally I have the first draft of that apology.

"I guess folks want me to apologize for what I said about that f%$kin' socialist, tree-huggin', gay-lovin' furrin card-carryin' commie, so that's it, praise the Lord!"

That sums it up nicely, jab ~

Sooz

why is she apologizing? Pope Francis is the most liberal pontif in generations. maybe EVER. she is absolutely right. therefore, she has nothing to apologize for.

and neither does Pope Francis.

Maher: If Palin thinks the Pope is too liberal, ‘wait until she sees what Jesus has been saying’

On Real Time tonight, Bill Maher “documented” the Twitter war between Sarah Palin and Pope Francis.

Earlier this week, Palin attacked the Pope, saying “he’s had some statements that sound to me kind of liberal. He’s taken me aback.”

“Well,” Maher continued, “if she thinks Pope Francis is liberal, wait until she sees what Jesus has been saying.”

He then presented a series of tweets he claimed each had sent in the past week, beginning with one from Palin:

“Maybe spoutin’ those liberal values works over there in Vatica. But real Americans don’t want our popes palling around with atheists.”

“Dear Sister,” Maher’s Pope replied, “how about a little more silent meditation from you? #AmIRightPeople?”

After his Pope informed Palin that his birth name is “Jorge,” Maher claimed Palin replied, “Jorge? Christ, the Mexicans really ARE taking over.”

“I’m beginning to think God should’ve used a little less of Adam’s rib on you and a little more of his brains,” Maher had his Pope replied.

“Bring back Pope Benedict!” Palin demanded, to which Maher’s Pope replied, “You WOULD prefer the one who quit while in office.”

Watch the entire exchange below.

Can you imagine if Sarah Palin and Rob Ford had children?

My favorite one-liner of the week:

“Well,” Maher continued, “if she thinks Pope Francis is liberal, wait until she sees what Jesus has been saying.”
