Rethuglican Hypocrisy, Cont'd.

In yet another example of Rethuglican hypocrisy, former part-time Alaska Gov. Winky You Betcha was the recipient of single-payer, public health care in Canada when she lived across the border in Alaska in her youth. The Wasilla Wingnut now denounces health care systems like those in Canada, despite having received public care in Whitehorse, Canada near her childhood home.

Too bad that Winky didn't benefit from Canada's excellent public education system at the same time.

PART II: California Rethuglican State Senator Roy Ashburn (I almost typed "Assburn"), who was arrested on drunk driving charges, has acknowledged he is gay. Ashburn has a very conservative "family values" (cough, cough) record in the State Senate, voting against gay rights numerous times.

Winky's Deep Thoughts On Health Care Reform

Well, we knew it wouldn't be long before former Alaska Gov. Winky You Betcha weighed in on the health care reform debate. Winky, of course, issues her major policy statements on her Facebook account, so we know this was an important missive. However, we were thrown by the Wasilla Quitta's reference to "Obama's death panel," which doesn't appear in any of the bills before Congress, not even in Alaska-speak. She thinks that this non-existent panel would deny her Down syndrome child care, while private health insurance companies already deny coverage to such children for their "pre-existing condition." So children with Down syndrome would be better served by reform of the existing system, not continuation of it as Winky would like.

We can only assume that Winky picked up the reference from one of Pills Limpballs' or Boo-Hoo Beck's fevered imaginings. Which is where most of Rethuglican "thought" originates these days. . .
