Hillary Clinton has dropped a scheduled event to protest against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, after learning that Sarah Palin would be attending the same event.
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."
A McCain-Palin campaign official, speaking on condition of anonymity because Palin's schedule for Monday has not been announced, said only that Palin tentatively planned to attend the rally.
Apparently, Senator Clinton wasn't too excited about a possibly real-life repeat of this SNL skit (not that they were very nice to Palin either, but it was hilarious):
