Palin's dubuious distinction

"My parents or my baby with Down syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide whether they are worthy of healthcare," Palin wrote at the height of the debate over President Obama's proposed plans to reform the US healthcare system.
