Sarah Palin: Completely bat****

[Guynemer]

America's Sweetheart has gone totally around the bend:

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.

Oh, but it gets better.

And she pointed Americans' attention to a recent speech by none other than Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), warning of the dastardly involvement of Rahm Emanuel's brother, who is a doctor, in the health care debate:

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.

And, finally, some speculation that makes my blood run cold:

Could this be an early trial balloon for a Palin/Bachmann ticket in 2012?

What the **** was John McCain thinking?

Not tracking her, for Christ's sake. Saw it on Salon and TPM.

[SlowwHand]

You should have been more specific, Doc.

[Ben Kenobi]

I wonder when they are gonna get hitched.

Do you think it will be soon, Slowwy?

I'm just shocked at how her star has fallen. Her record when she was Governor of Alaska actually seemed to be a fairly bipartisan pol who fought power brokers in her own party. She got the VP nod, became a conservative darling and she went off the freaking deep end!

[SlowwHand]

I'm still playing with all the possibilities of mooselady.

[Sava]

i dont often seriously wish death on too many people

[SlowwHand]

Death is one of those things from which it's hard to recover.

[Sava]

not if you're hindu

[SlowwHand]

Hindu? I don't know much about Hindu. I would have expected maybe Buddhist.

[Sava]

one of them fereners

[Imran Siddiqui]

Let's not go there. AAHZ says he's Buddhist and we don't want to encourage him.

[Sava]

when i kill him, he'll stay dead
