In the latest release from this telling head to head, Couric asks whether the candidate believes that people can pray away their homosexuality. To this, Ms. Palin responds with a touching tale of personal friendship, and her refusal to be judgmental. “I have, one of my absolute best friends for the last 30 years who happens to be gay, and I love her dearly,” she says. “And she is not my ‘gay friend.’ She is one of my best friends.”<\/p>\n
Wow, I think as I hear this. For the first time, I feel like we’ve actually had the same experience and feelings about it as two human beings. I look outside to make sure that pigs aren’t flying past my window. But then she continues, and reassures me that this isn’t some parallel universe after all. “[My friend] happens to have made a choice that isn’t a choice that I would have made,” she adds. “But I’m not going to judge people.” How kind she is. And how full of crap.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
