Occasional correspondent Dovid Kerner wrote to tell of a rally this coming Monday, Sept. 22nd, 11:45am outside the United Nations in New York City (2nd Avenue at 47th Street). It is to protest President Ahmadinejad of Iran, who, as everyone is aware, openly calls for and predicts the destruction of Israel while his regime pursues the atom bomb.

I see today that this rally is in the news, due to Senator Hillary Clinton pulling out from her plan to attend.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has canceled an appearance at a New York rally next week after organizers blindsided her by inviting Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, aides to the senator said Tuesday.

Several American Jewish groups plan a major rally outside the United Nations on Sept. 22 to protest against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Organizers said Tuesday that both Clinton, who nearly won the Democratic nomination for president, and Palin, Republican candidate John McCain’s running mate, are expected to attend.

[...]

Clinton aides were furious. They first learned of the plan to have both Clinton and Palin appear when informed by reporters.

“Her attendance was news to us, and this was never billed to us as a partisan political event,” said Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines. “Sen. Clinton will therefore not be attending.”

Follow the logic there? When Hillary — a Democrat — was attending, it wasn’t going to be a partisan political event. But now that a Republican — Sarah Palin — might attend, it is a partisan event.
