Pro-life Republican Johnny Isakson wants to murder old people in their sleep. Or something:

A spokesperson for Palin told ABC News that the former governor was referring to a section promoting advance care planning that appears on page 425 of the House Democrats' bill . Advance care planning includes living wills and durable powers of attorney that allow individuals to make clear their wishes for end-of-life care, whatever they may be.

And as it turns out, the cause of advance planning has been championed especially strongly by a pro-life Republican -- U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia.

Isakson (photo above) is a member of Senate Health committee that played a key role in shaping the health care reform legislation. He successfully offered an amendment in committee that allows funds for a government-funded program that provides in-home services to people with disabilities to be used for advance care planning, according to the national Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.

Quick, somebody ask Newt what he thinks

1. Ooopsies - Palin's idiocy and ignorance exposed yet again n/t

[gratuitous]

2. Oh, well, that's not important

See, it doesn't matter who wrote the legislation or inserted the amendment or who did what in Congress, see. Because it's all the fault of the scary black man in the Oval Office! If it becomes law. So it doesn't really matter if it turns out that it was some Georgia Republican proposing to kill Sarah Palin's baby, it's solely the fault of Barack Obama. See?

And if you don't see, you're prolly racist. Or something. See?

3. Because he's a Republican...

4. Looks like we were set up.

I bet the Republicans knew exactly how they were going to spin that provision if they got it into the bill. Isakson did the deed, and now we have to defend it.
