A note to the Palin bashers about her latest "scandal"

That being she admitted that her family used to go to Canada to get medical treatment when she was a kid.

It's already been debunked. So don't waste your time.

What's the shelf life of a bogus Palin scandal now? 4-5 hours?

When I lived in Alaska for a short, time everybody piled into Canada. It was the only way to get to the lower 48 unless you had a plane. We even SHOPPED in Canada ... oh t3h horrorz.

NOT debunked:

"(UPDATE, 4:17pm March 8: According to this Health Canada page, hospital insurance came to Yukon in 1960, and full medical insurance with federal cost-sharing in 1972.)"

http://communities.canada.com/CALGARYHERALD/blogs/insidealberta/archive/2010/03/07/sarah-palin-heads-north-er-south-er-to-calgary.aspx

Where does your righty blogger prove that her family paid for her health care in Canada, as opposed to taking advantage of the then-existing hospital insurance?

And even if they did pay, why did they feel compelled to take a 4-HOUR TRAIN RIDE to Whitehorse for medical care? Why wasn't US care good enough?

Oh dear:

I forgot to warn you to not bother with this lame narrative either

The Palins, as Americans, did not qualify for any Canadian medical coverage in 1961. The system which would have qualified them was enacted in....1984. They paid for their healthcare, out of their wallets.

Don't trust a righty blog? Here's a Libertarian source. They are no friends of Palin.

And even if they did pay, why did they feel compelled to take a 4-HOUR TRAIN RIDE to Whitehorse for medical care? Why wasn't US care good enough?

It was easier to get to than any American medical establishment at the time.

Canada is closer, and Alaska remained basically a backwater until they began building the pipeline.

Please stop.

She moved to Alaska when she was an infant. She was raised in Wasilla.

The final nail

1. There was no US alternative outside a precarious and unpredictable airplane/ferry ride to Juneau, which could take half a day.

2. The train ride was free, he worked for the railroad.

Game. Set. Match. Now go sit down.

You haven't. You even brought this up.

BTW....Wikipedia isn't always accurate.

I like Sarah Palin personally, especially that picture of her on the cover of that fitness magazine, but I don't think she'd make a good President. Maybe a good Senator.

You know her personally? I like her I guess although I read in the LA Times that she is a racist.

Remember when she was first announced as McCain's VP pick and the liberal media took a caravan to dig up dirt on her as fast as they could (as parodied on SNL)? One of the things that came up were these interviews with this woman from Wasilla (council member I think) that claimed that Palin frequently referred to Obama as "Sambo".

I already knew you would refer to that.

Memo to black people: white folks under 60 never use the word "Sambo".

Yep ... it used to be the world's largest Air Force base once upon a time. But rest assured, it's STILL a backwater. :)
