Much like I thought, Sarah Palin was simply thoughtless in her remark.
…Palin also apologized Tuesday for any misunderstanding caused when she referred last week to the patriotic values of “the real America” and “pro-America areas of this great nation.”
Democrats and others criticized Palin for seeming to imply that some parts of the country are more patriotic than others.
Palin denied that was her intention in an interview with CNN on Tuesday.
“I don’t want that misunderstood,” Palin said. “If that’s the way it came across, I apologize.”
So I give her a pass on malice, but not on thoughtlessness.
