The Ghosts of Palin Past

By Baxter

It's taken us awhile, but we cats are finally ready to say something about the "town hells."

And it's this: Boy, are those right-wing Republicans dumb.

Because, goodness gracious. If these tactics aren't irrefutable evidence of the wingnuts' desperation, we don't know what is. After all, the quickest way to turn someone against you is to be obnoxious, rude and scary. You'd think the insurance companies would have mentioned this when Dick Armey dreamed it all up.

But the prize, as always, goes to former Alaskan Governor and current ne'er-do-well Sarah Palin, who — after declaring that President Obama's plan for healthcare reform would kill her son Trig — has apparently asked that the hells be turned back into halls.

There she goes again, trying to have it both ways. Or is she just disturbed that some have compared the town hall near-riots to her own campaign rallies in 2008?
