It seems the things that some people say and do aren't what they actually mean or stand for.  It seems that there is an infectious malady that everyone else misunderstand and misinterpret all things coming from politicians' campaigns.

Most recently, we should not misinterpret the Palin "vacation-like" charges to be Washington, fat cat, business as usual abuses paid for by the good American taxpayers.  Neither should we see the later amendments to documents surrounding these expenses as anything fishy.  We know that all things amended or redacted or edited are never done to cover anyone's butt. 

It was also a misinterpretation to infer that claims some are "pro-American" or the "real America" means that the others are anti-American or really don't believe in the American way.  We should accept their apologies and believe that the comments were never meant to incite reactionary biases.  All a misunderstanding...

We should also expect and accept the sure to be coming apology and claim of misunderstanding that when Palin's latest from the hip statement meant nothing, and certainly wasn't making the claim that Obama is sexist.  Or if she really did mean it, that her selection had nothing to do with the groups she represents.  Because as we all know, all things political are blind to the injustices of human nature.

So, we are all just addled brained and incapable of interpreting political rhetoric or they are just plain, slimey shucksters.
