Palin's Sadistic Streak

I would be inclined to write about other things. But Caribou Barbie cannot be allowed near the presidency.

This story, mentioned here a while back and now at the top of the NYT most read list, of Wasilla charging rape victims for their medical exams, finally implies a coherent reason for such a cruel policy: an extreme measure to avoid a possible abortion - from a rape.

A dear friend of mine was interviewed by the Times for background on this story- either Palin was ignorant of her own tiny city's budget on a matter the state legislature had to correct, or unbelievably vicious in her religious arrogance.

Update. Note Caribou Barbie's initials on this Alaska budget document slashing 20% from direct services to teenager mothers.
