Unfuckingbelievable.
Under Mayor Palin, Wasilla, Alaska charged rape victims for the forensic tests known as “rape kits,” which are necessary to successful prosecution of rapists and which almost every other town in Alaska (and I assume in the country) pays for out of municipal funds.
But Mayor Palin’s police chief didn’t want to burden taxpayers with $5,000 to $14,000 a year for the forensic exams at a time when Mayor Palin was digging her city into historic debt ($22 million) to pay for, among other things, a civic center. In a town of fewer than 10,000 people.
Remember when BushCo was charging wounded soldiers at Walter Reed for their meals?
It seems that famed compassionate conservatism has all the depth of the dollar bill these Republicans seem to have taken in lieu of humanity.
