Quote of the Day

Comes from Chris Carney:

Former Representative Chris Carney of Pennsylvania, whose district, like Ms. Giffords’s, was on list of 20 Congressional districts that Ms. Palin’s political operation marked with cross hairs, was quoted in The Times Tribune of Scranton as saying, “It would be very useful if she came out and, if not apologize, say that she was wrong in putting that sort of logo on people’s districts.”

The problem is:

Aides to Sarah Palin angrily rejected suggestions that she had some responsibility for the angry political climate that served as a backdrop to the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords.

So, don’t expect any apologies.
