Palin and the Pledge

There is much to admire about Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, but her response to a gubernatorial questionnaire is a legitimate embarrassment.

11. Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
JB: No.
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

An Eagle Forum blog hosted at Blogspot had the above as part of a post presenting the results of the poll. The blog administrator(s) apparently acted remove the post from the blog, which I think is a bad move. It was easily retrieved via a Google cache.

I'll admit that I suspected a forgery when I first looked into it--I currently have little doubt that the site was legit--though it remains less than certain that Palin was personally responsible for the content indicated by her answers. She minored in political science so I'd be surprised if she wasn't aware of the origin of the Pledge.
