Blithering idiot weighs in on health care reform

It was only a matter of time before Miss Alaska weighed in on the health care reform debate. And she weighed in with a whopper. You see, under Obama's health care plan, Sarah Palin informed us, her child would be put to death, or stoned, or retroactively aborted, or something. Palin is, in fact, repeating the current GOP talking points that Obama's health care plan will set up "death panels" that will decide which Americans live and die. Uh huh. As Ben points out, Jake Tapper has already dissected this latest GOP lie.

As an aside, how many times can you get away with using your child's disability as a cheap political prop? Just curious if there's a statute of limitations on tackiness.

PS Note to our leaders: Simply calling it a "lie" is not fighting back.
