News One Death Panel
Posted by Dan Savage on Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 1:20 PM
Today in batshit:
Sarah Palin is standing by her claim that Democratic-authored health care legislation includes the infamous "death panels"—even after the assertion was labeled the "lie of the year" by a prize-winning fact checking organization. The former Alaska governor told Sean Hannity, in a taping of the conservative firebrand's radio program on Wednesday, that she was "not gonna back off."
At this point I think we ought to convene at least one death panel—just for the Palin's—otherwise it's just gonna look like the political and media elites conspired to make Sarah look like a liar by not convening any death panels. I volunteer to take the minutes.
