First, someone should make a T-shirt with the title of this post. I don't care if they get rich and I don't. I did a search and I don't think there's such a t-shirt. It's partly inspired by a T-shirt I saw worn by the National Organizer of Sinn Fein Youth, which says "I Still Hate Thatcher."
During the last 2 months of the election, I followed the election VERY closely- unfortunately I wasn't doing so well and did basically nothing to help, but if I had had a popular blog at the time, Obama would have won by an additional point. Among the other things that he should have hammered McCain/Palin on was the rape kits in Wasilla. I'll asssume most of you have heard about, what I want to do is provide some evidence (which I don't think many Palin critics or the media mentioned) that effectively rebuts those who were trying to debunk the criticism of Palin on the rape-kits. There was an article in 2000, in the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman, the paper for what is basically the County that Wasilla is in. In it, Palin's police cheif admits that the rape victims' insurance companies were being billed, and since he doesn't say otherwwise, I assume that when they didn't have insurance, the victim got the entire bill (odds are they had to pay a co-pay or something and also, this billing of their insurance might have an effect on their premium).
UPDATE 10/1/13 THE ARTICLE IN THE MAT-SU PAPER IS GONE FROM THE SITE BUT A SIMILAR ARTICLE IS HERE.
