There was a story in today's newspaper that originated with the Canadian Press news service. Sarah has been a very vocal critic of the Canadian health system. Apparently this past weekend she said that her family used the Canadian health system when she was much younger. Here are a couple of quotes taken from the news story.

Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada."
I especially like the following quote.

Quote:
A headline on the New York media blog Gawker.com read: Sarah Palin Supports Government-Run Health Care, Inadvertently Uses 'Ironic' Correctly.
(note: I have no idea whether or note both of these quotes are accuratet)
