...and Ozzy Osborne is responsible for suicides, Jodi Foster is responsible for Reagan being shot, J.D. Salinger is responsible for the death of John Lennon...
Ahhh exactly! Ain’t that right hugo? Your distain for Sarah is obviously clouding your sense of reason.
I'm pretty sure Hugo was saying that, whether she was responsible for it or not, she'll be seen as (at least) partially responsible. It'll ruin any chance she has at becoming POTUS, as it will definitely be brought up in the future, if she tries to run.
The fact that IWS can bring up the author of Catcher in the Rye as an example, proves the point. Whether Salinger was responsible or not, it's common knowledge what supposedly "inspired" the assassination. And if it becomes common knowledge that Palin was "responsible" for the death of Gifford, her political career is over.
Finally..someone who can read.
