Reader Bekah pointed us to a story in the Daily Mail with a religion-infused quote from Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin:

But the Alaska governor, who has been promoted as a possible candidate in some republican quarters, has not yet decided to mount a campaign.

She said: 'I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door.

'Show me where the open door is.'

And in a perfect display of how the media seem congenitally incapable of getting Palin's religious rhetoric, note how the Daily Mail headlined the piece:

Sarah Palin:

God will show me a door to the White House in 2012

Um, no.

She didn't say that. She made a perfectly normal conditional statement.

It's like there's something about Palin that makes reporters just lose any sense at all when covering her.

You think?
