So, the important person I might have sent the wrong version of the email to? Sent me the message to his assistant telling her to write me back. So now I don't feel bad, if it's going around all over!

We are deeply disturbed by Fox News commentator Sarah Palin’s decision to characterize as a “blood libel” the criticism directed at her following the terrorist attack in Tucson. The term “blood libel” is not a synonym for “false accusation.” It refers to a specific falsehood perpetuated by Christians about Jews for centuries, a falsehood that motivated a good deal of anti-Jewish violence and discrimination. Unless someone has been accusing Ms. Palin of killing Christian babies and making matzoh from their blood, her use of the term is totally out-of-line.

I'm thinking she'll likely just double down.
Oh c'mon now, Jewish groups! She's just bein' folksy and inventin' new definitions for things!
Last year, see, she was inventin' words. This year she's getttin' her Rove on....
