Another lightning bolt from Wasilla strikes its target in DC.
What ... a call for tort reform is now a "lightning bolt?"
Get real. Folks have been suggesting that for at least the past 20 years. The problem has never been in the suggesting, it's been in the actual doing. Tort reform attempts on the national level have not been notably successful or comprehensive for the usual reasons: party politics and special interests.
It's worth pointing out, however, that the Congressional Republicans did take a stab at it in 2005, and it's been part of the party platform for some time.
It's very nice that Sarah Palin is on-board the tort reform train -- but she didn't invent the idea.
