McCain/Palin: A Match Made In The Infernal Regions (with Update)

Wow. First we learn that John McCain actually opposes legislation that would educate our children with regard to the dangers presented by pedophiles, and now we learn this:

When Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla, the city billed sexual assault victims and their insurance companies for the cost of rape kits and forensic examinations.

Palin had been in office for four years when the practice of charging rape victims got the attention of state lawmakers in 2000, who passed a bill to stop the practice.

Former Democratic Rep. Eric Croft, who sponsored that bill, said he was disappointed that simply asking the Wasilla police department to stop didn't work. Croft said he doubts she was unaware of the practice. * * *
Geesus. If Obama or Biden had been mayor of a city that pulled this kind of crap, we'd never hear the end of it from the McCain/Palin ticket.

UPDATE: Someone finally has the guts to at least imply that McCain supports pedophilia. I wish the ad would have been a bit more hard-hitting, but it's a good start.
