Sarah Palin: Hey, Pay Attention to Michele Bachmann
By David Weigel 8/7/09 5:16 PM
It was bound to happen some day. From Sarah Palin’s Facebook account, her newest epistle:
Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the president’s health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff, in a floor speech to the House of Representatives. I commend her for being a voice for the most precious members of our society, our children and our seniors.
Palin tells her friends to see Bachmann’s speech, which quotes health care misinformer-for-hire Betsey McCaughey, here.
The item's so short I was forced to clip the whole thing. Read it with the links included, here.
But that's not all. The same post author's worked is cited here, but with this "National Enquirer" style headline:
Palin: Obama's "Death Panel" Could Kill My Down Syndrome Baby
By Eric Kleefeld - August 7, 2009, 5:36PM
In a new posting on her Facebook account, former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) made a dire statement about health care reform -- that it could result in an Obama-created "death panel" killing her infant son with Down Syndrome:
The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's "death panel" so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their "level of productivity in society," whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
And she pointed Americans' attention to a recent speech by none other than Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)...
Could this be an early trial balloon for a Palin/Bachmann ticket in 2012?
Oh, let's hope so, right? The proto-fascist dream team swimsuit issue; a lying, conspiracy pimping, "rapidly aging babe"-ocracy ruling the United States and ending civil liberties in order to impose the conservative evangelical version of sha'ria law on us all. Just what the founding fathers had in mind as the cap to our centuries-old American experiment in freedom and democracy: a pair of pseudo-Christian talk radio Mussolinis with good legs and great hair.
Anyway: so that's a hat tip to DB commenters Anna and Alec for these items in this post, with hat tips to Eric Kleefeld at Talking Points memo, and hat tips to source David Weigel, and a hat tip to the Washington Independent. And now my hat is all tipped out, and my head's getting cold.
