I wish I could avoid these Palin threads, they are way too emotional for rational discussion.
Anyway, this part of the story (taking the ferry to Juneau for her son’s burn) isn’t necessarily inconsistant with the previous story of rushing him to the doctor in Canada.
It could well be that when he first was burnt, they needed emergency treatment, and it was quickest to go to Canada (maybe the ferry had just left, or was ice-bound). After initial treatment, if the burn was bad it could require out-patient visits, or even hospitalization. And being American, they would want to go to the hospital in their state for that, and would use the ferry.
I can’t believe how freepers are all panicky over everything about Palin. You either trust her, or you don’t. THis constant attempts here at FR to try to shield her, or make excuses for her, are demeaning and counter-productive. (Not directed at you personally).
Wasn’t her son, it was her brother. You aren’t getting the full story. No one is shielding her from anything. Others ARE trying to make hay out of horseshit though...
That makes a lot of sense. Wouldn't it be a hoot if the MSM gets all worked up, and then her mom turns out to still have doctor bills from both places!
I wish I had read your post before writing #146! Another very good point that you make.
