“Palin, as mayor, fired police chief Irl Stambaugh and replaced him with Charlie Fannon, who with Palin’s knowledge, slashed the budget for the exams and began charging the city’s victims of sexual assault.

A year later, alarmed Alaska lawmakers passed legislation outlawing the practice…It turns out that Wasilla did not bill sexual assault victims for the cost of rape exams while Irl Stambaugh was chief of police. As chief, he had included a line item in the budget to pay for the cost of such exams. He had only just heard about the Mayor Palin/Chief Fannon policy today, and was just as shocked to hear about it as I was.”

Yeah, dress up, wear your naughty monkey shoes that you copied off of Paris Hilton (I’m just saying….), but for the love of god have something other than hockey and how awesome your husband is at snow machine racing to talk about.

I mean, aren’t we dropping bombs over there somewhere? Shouldn’t this thing just be a little more serious and a little less like a bad made for TV movie shown on the W channel?

I would also note that you haven’t presented any evidence that any rape victim in Alaska actually paid for a kit, as opposed to having had the cost billed to the insurer.

It does mention the person who created the policy, the Police Chief.
