Sarah Palin, for all of her unhinged, irrational, and untutored opinion, did something that everyone else was incapable of: removing Section 1233. Despite Krauthammer’s scolding of the former Governor, at the end of the piece he admitted Section 1233 laid the foundations for much mischief. And while this section didn’t spell out the word Death Panels, it pretty much guarantees that the end result would be the same. Couple this with the President’s endless mentioning of bending the cost curve, and it is no wonder many people reacted as they did.

I am not fan of Palin by any means, but he single Facebook entry accomplished what countless hours of cloakromm horse trading did not.
