What? Sarah Palin was asked to fundraise for a Canadian hospital?

It strikes me very funny that the Juravinski Cancer Centre and St. Peter’s Hospital in Hamilton invited Sarah Palin to be a celebrity fundraiser for them.

First, Palin is about 30 years and 30 significant contributions to mankind away from being a celebrity in my book. (So, get back to me in 30 years!)

Second, is this the same Sarah Palin who said (just a few weeks ago) that “Canada needs to dismantle its public health-care system and allow private enterprise to get involved and turn a profit?”


["Oh boy. If I could jist get my hands on a hospital"]

Isn’t that like saying, what good is cancer if we can’t make money off it?

Folks, it was the same Sarah Palin, but enough people called the Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation with a dissenting view that her assignment was shifted.

Palin will now help fundraise for a children’s charity, likely because she hasn’t figured out a way yet to turn a profit on young kids.
