My guess is that the correction was for the reporter's mistake.

Actually, I did not. But I admit I didn't actually read the whole thing. I skimmed it looking for the correction Jaybird alluded to.

I just thought it was another typical liberal news site that takes anything a conservative says and twists it around a little and uses it out of context. Nothing in the article made me think otherwise. If Palin said "the sky is blue", most of those liberal news organizations would run it under a picture of a blizzard.

To be fair, it can be tough to distinguish between satire and Palin's actual word salad. Fortunately, we'll hear more of her words if her Judge Palin show gets picked up.

I had to look that up as I had never heard of it. Though it was pretty funny.

She made a lot of shrill noise 4 years ago and she is still trying to make noise. She should go back to Alaska and just retire from public life.
