Good Enough

Apparently, during her run for Governor of Alaska in 2006, Palin agreed to respond to a Religious Right group's "questionnaire." The Group is called Eagle Forum, and I don't know anything about it really, but Steven Benen culls his favorite answer:
And then there's my personal favorite. Palin was asked, "Are you offended by the phrase 'Under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance?" She responded:

"Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its [sic] good enough for me and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance."

Note to Palin: the founding fathers didn't recite the Pledge of Allegiance. It was written in 1892, and didn't include the phrase "Under God" until 1954.
