Death panels follow Palin to Hong Kong

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin gave a speech on ... mmpphh . . . excuse me. Sarah Palin gave a speech yesterday in Hong Kong on ... mmphh, hahahahahahaha ... foreign policy. Sorry, but can you believe this stuff? Sarah Palin, Caribou Barbie, the hick who didn’t even know Africa was a continent and, according to John McCain’s aides, couldn’t name the three nations of North America, was paid beaucoup money to speak to an international trade organization in Hong Kong. What’s even more priceless is that she didn’t even stick to matters of foreign policy or foreign trade. Instead, she blamed the economic downturn on — what else? — too much government interference in business (I know. Hey, I’m just reporting this), and even brought up her current favorite subject, death panels.
Yep, now that even strong opponents of health care reform have admitted that no one is proposing anything even resembling death panels, Palin is still aligning herself with the true crazies in the ongoing national debate. And of course, there’s not even a hint that she realizes that when health insurance companies won’t pay for, say, cancer treatments, they are, in effect, a genuine “death panel.” But that’s our Sarah -- what a national treasure, huh?
