Sarah Palin Declared Dead By Canadian Hospitals

The Twelve (OK, Thirteen) Days of Christmas Song Parodies continues…

As everybody knows, Sarah Palin is not fond of the Canadian health care system and its ability to provide free health care to all citizens regardless of pre-existing conditions or socio-economic status. Indeed, just last month while on her $ 4,000.00 per hour private luxury jet propelled book tour the former ex-quitting governor of Alaska had this to say,

Canada needs to dismantle its public health-care system and allow private enterprise to get involved and turn a profit

Consequently, it was surprising to learn last week that Palin was invited as a paid guest host to speak and raise funds for two Ontario hospitals. She accepted the gig and the $ 200,000.00 speaking fee even though those hospitals are part of Canada’s abortion-providing, single-payer health care system and offer the type of end-of-life counseling that Palin has attributed to “death panels”. The whole situation begged two questions. Why would these hospitals invite Palin to help raise funds? And why would Palin ever accept?

Both of those questions are now moot. As the result of a backlash of negative publicity and citizen protests, The Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation has canceled Palin’s engagement on their behalf. Jeff Valletine, vice-president of communications for Hamilton Health Sciences said,

It was a bit of mixed match with the politics of Sarah Palin matched with the needs of hospitals in Canada to raise money as publically funded institutions

Do ya think? In any event it was nice to see a group cancel Palin before she had the ability to pull one of her patented last minute no-shows.

VIOLENT FIGHT

(sung to the Christmas song “Silent Night”)

Violent fight on the right
Palin is such a blight
Not a virgin, neither is child
Poor parenting with kids running wild
Fired the chief of police
Fired the chief of police

Violent fight on the right
Democrats’ pure delight
Sarah Palin is such a disgrace
Now Republicans can’t win a race
What on earth are they worth?
What on earth are they worth?

Violent fight on the right
Palin’s caused a divide
Sarah is the Tea-Baggers’ star
Newt Gingrich wants her feathered and tarred
Now the party is torn
Now the party is torn
