“So Sambo beat the bitch!”
This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.
According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.

The latest rumor circulating through the internets is that Palin made the statement in the first sentence quoted above. As best I can tell, the link I provide is to the original source.
If Palin were not an outspoken Christian, the media would not make up these things about her. The only source for the article is a part Aboriginal waitress named Lucille, whose surname is not in the article. Lucille allegedly served Palin at a restaurant somewhere in Alaska. The article doesn't even tell what city in Alaska.
To back up Lucille's story, the author says later in the article that everybody in Alaska, except Aboriginals, talks that way. If I were an Alaskan, I would be insulted.
All we have to do to verify or refute the article is find Lucille the waitress somewhere in Alaska's vast landscape. That's assuming there really is a Lucille.
