ABC News’ Rick Klein reports:

Sarah Palin is acknowledging that "death panels" aren't part of Democrats' health care bills.

But, she says, she's been talking about them to make a point -- and she's comparing her use of the term to Ronald Reagan's cold war references to the "evil empire."

Palin said President Obama is "not lying" when he claims that "death panels" aren't included in Democrats' health care plans, but added: "It's kind like what Reagan used to do, though, when he talked about, say, the ‘evil empire.' You're never going to find the evil empire on a map of the world," Palin told ABC's Barbara Walters, in a portion of her interview that aired on

You're never going to find the evil empire on a map of the world,"

Oh, and I'd like to add that if it was a metaphor, it was a really BAD one. Worse even, than, "Someone left the cake out in the rain/ and I don't think that I can take it/ 'cause it took so long to bake it/ and I'll never have that recipe again/Oh, nooOOOoooOOO.

That's it! Palin is to politics what Macarthur Park is to music.

Aristotle? The man who wrote manifest after manifest on the essentials of maintaining slaves and making sure they were never treated as humans?

THAT Aristotle?

That Rand is permeating the air again. Hard to escape the queen of bondage and cheese these days.

It was NOT a metaphor, Rochelle, it was a lie. There is a huge difference. Why do you try so hard to justify everything she does? Why?

It is so disingenuous to suggest that it was meant in the literal sense and to do so frankly demonstrates a willingness to not have an honest non-inflammatory Aristotelian logic driven discussion.Sheesh grab a shovel LOL.

Did you ever wonder why you do exactly the same thing in reverse?

Who really believes honestly that the term 'death panel' was meant in the literal sense?
What they do mean is FUTURE government advisory panel...it is so disingenuous to suggest that it was meant in the literal sense and to do so frankly demonstrates a willingness to not have an honest non-inflammatory Aristotelian logic driven discussion.Sheesh grab a shovel LOL.

And, here, O&W, to show that there are some odd theories coming from all sides. Can you imagine WHAT could be causing a rainbow effect from a sprinkler?

It's GOT to be something oozing from the ground, right?

Funniest thing I've seen all week.



Please save us from light refraction.

That was funny.
Sounded like a few dumb cajuns.
Was this a personal home video you posted?
TIA.

Holy Shite!

It isn't the cajuns, let's be fair. It is pretty funny though! Rainbows are new!

I don't know what makes you think this had anything to do with Cajuns. There's not even the slightest hint of a Cajun accent. Also, Cajun's are not dumb. That sounds a little "racist" to me. Come on, what gives with that?

I will if you will.

Tell me I read that wrong. You didn't call Cajuns dumb? I agree , does sound racist.
