Because Crazy is as Crazy Does

Palin On Rape Kit Accusations: ‘The Entire Notion Of Making A Victim Of A Crime Pay For Anything Is Crazy’ yet the public record clearly shows that this is exactly what she did while serving as mayor of Wasilla.
It is not known how many rape victims in Wasilla were required to pay for some or all of the medical exams, but a legislative staffer who worked on the bill for [state legislator Eric] Croft said it happened. “It was more than a couple of cases, and it was standard practice in Wasilla,” Peggy Wilcox said, who now works for the Alaska Public Employees Association. “If you were raped in Wasilla, this was going to happen to you.”
To be truthful, legislation has since passed to prevent charging victims any further but Sarah Palin knew and approved of the charges.

Plus, I learned that Alaska has a rape epidemic. Nice.
