Ethics

Dumbass Quote of the Day

By Ed Brayton

From the one and only Sarah Palin:

The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's "death panel" so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their "level of productivity in society," whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.

The America she knows and loves. You know, all those small towns that produce the bulk of the nation's supply of good people, all those Joe Six Packs and Sally Homemakers. There is no such panel, of course. Insurance companies have them, though, and they decide who gets what treatment based on what is most profitable for them. That's so much better for Joe Six Pack, dontcha know. You betcha.
