Another Disgusting Twist in the Palin Tail, er, Tale

This article has me severely disturbed. Women everywhere should be infuriated that she identifies herself as a member of our gender...

What does Sarah Palin have against rape victims? Better yet, what does Sarah Palin have against women???

I'm so mad about this, I don't know where to start. I agree with the writer:

"In the absence of answers, speculation is bubbling in the blogosphere that Wasilla’s policy of billing rape victims may have something to do with Ms. Palin’s extreme opposition to abortion, even in cases of rape. Sexual-assault victims are typically offered an emergency contraception pill, which some people in the anti-choice camp wrongly equate with abortion."

I wonder if Sarah Palin (we'll just call "her" Dexter for the time being) is one of those wackos who thinks that victims of rape "asked for it" or brought the crime upon themselves? He doesn't fancy the idea of abortion in the case of rape (or incest, for that matter), so I guess I can't say it comes as a complete shock that he would punish rape victims by making them pay for assistance in the investigation.

This line is equally disturbing:

"Mr. Croft further noted that right after his measure became law, Wasilla’s local paper reported that Ms. Palin’s handpicked police chief, Charlie Fannon, acknowledged the practice of billing to collect evidence for sexual-assault cases. He complained that the state was requiring the town to spend $5,000 to $14,000 a year to cover the costs. 'I just don’t want to see any more burden put on the taxpayer,' the chief explained."

Hmm... interesting... Why not seek to prevent rape so that nobody has to suffer? How much rape is going on in this measly little town anyway?

Dexter is not depicting the people of Wasilla as the sharpest tools in the shed. They're not even in the shed at this point. They elected a nut job who tried to censor their libraries, essentially charged rape victims a fee for being raped, and deemed it prudent to install a tanning bed in the governor's mansion.

As this whole Dexter thing unravels, I wonder why he's still rearing his ugly head in public. Why haven't the McCain people wised up and realized that this lunatic is further damaging his campaign for presidency?

It's baffling.
