The rape of the American taxpayer

For the last week, multiple newspapers have been reporting that the town of Wasilla charged rape victims for their forensic exams while Sarah Palin was the mayor.

CNN's Jessica Yellin followed up by interviewing the sponsor of a law that sought to end this insensitive practice. Eric Croft felt that was unrealistic to think that for six months the mayor would not be aware of this policy.





Frankly I think that the liberal media elite are being wildly unfair to our future Vice President.

After all, as a devoted Reagan Republican, she was simply following her duty to look out for Joe Taxpayer.

In fact, in order to save additional funds, Wasilla will now charge victims of child molestation for the anatomical dolls used to identify the places they were touched by their abusers.




This practice alone will save thousands of dollars for the Alaskan taxpayers. Those dolls are expensive!

Plus, all of the children will be allowed to keep their dolls as a keepsake and a snuggle buddy.

Pot calling the kettle black

Yesterday, John McCain spoke briefly at a National Sheriffs' Association meeting in Indianapolis. In his speech, McCain addressed the recent Supreme Court ruling that struck down a Louisiana law allowing capital punishment for people who rape children under the age of 12.




The 5-4 decision was a blow to the Louisiana Supreme Court, which supported the execution of Patrick Kennedy, who was convicted of raping his 8-year-old stepdaughter.

McCain warned that if Barack Obama were to become president, his Supreme Court nominees would produce more decisions like the child rapist ruling.

McCain did acknowledge that Democrat Barack Obama had also disagreed with the court's decision. However, he hammered at a statement made by Obama mentioning that he considered Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David Souter to be sensible judges.




Here is the tidbit that John Boy conveniently left out of his speech.

John McCain himself voted to confirm four of the five who voted in the majority. The fifth judge was John Paul Stevens, and the only reason he did not vote to appoint him was that McCain was not in the Senate when Justice Stevens was confirmed in 1975.
