Minutes ago on MSNBC, Illinois congresswoman Jan Schakowsky brought up the mind-blowing "sorry you got raped, here's your bill for the rape kit" policy that continued in Wasilla under then-Mayor Sarah Palin.

I just really resent it coming from an individual and a campaign that has been against women. Sarah Palin - when she was mayor of Wasilla, I understand from an Alaska newspaper, not from an investigator - says that she wanted to charge women who were raped for the rape kit, something amounting to hundreds of dollars, and until a law was passed in the state legislature that actually prohibited that.

Will the mainstream media finally start reporting this? Let's wait and see...

Let's chat about those earmarks!

Yesterday, Sarah Palin launched her missive criticizing Barack Obama's earmark requests, claiming at one point that he had requested close to one million dollars per day in office and failing to acknowledge her own massive earmark habit during her tenure as Governor of Alaska.

Needless to say, the media didn't exactly rush to do their homework on the matter, feeling it necessary only to briefly mention that she was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it. They did not address her claims about Obama's earmark requests at all.

Let's do a little basic math...
