Palin provided the low point so far...

Without a doubt, the most irresponsible moment in the national health care reform debate so far was when former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin prominently inserted the term "death panel."

That moment was selfishly political, absolutely misinformational, and completely laughable if it weren't so callous in terms of failing to add one degree of intellectual quality toward the much needed solution to a sobering national health problem.

It tells me, though I knew it before, that Palin is no serious thinker. She doesn't have the intellect to heighten the discussion, but she had the reckless nerve to distort and lie. She's a demagogue for the simple-minded.

In the meantime, thousands of people attended a free medical and dental makeshift clinic in the Los Angeles area this week, hoping to get help when otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford it.
