The wild-eyed left think they’ve found Governor Sarah Palin’s first gaffe on the campaign trail. Trouble is, how could it be considered a gaffe when what she said is exactly correct?
Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had “gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers.”
The libs are jumping all over the statement.
The companies, as McClatchy reported, “aren’t taxpayer funded but operate as private companies. The takeover may result in a taxpayer bailout during reorganization.”
In that light, exactly which part of Governor Palin’s statement was incorrect? Have Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac not “gotten too big?” Is the $200 billion taxpayer bailout not “too expensive to the taxpayers.”
You have to twist yourself into a pretzel and squint just right to find a gaffe here.
Fail, left. Better luck next time.
