Forget the lying and the hypocrisy...by now we're used to that. Just run the numbers:

Call it 15, just for easy figuring. In a town of 9,000, assuming half are women, that is one rape per year per every 300 men. So, again for ease assuming no serial rapists, 1 in every 300 men in Wasilla are rapists. And Sarah Palin wanted to protect them by charging the victims of their rapes for their rape kit tests. That's some brand of "frontier feminist" they grow up there in Alaska.
