Recording devices and members of the press were barred from Former Gov. Palin's speech last weekend at a Wisconsin Right to Life fundraiser, but that didn't stop at least three reporters from buying tickets and writing things down. That's old-school, man; they probably even used pencils or something. According to Politico, whose Johnathan Martin gained access to the closed event, Palin's speech mostly covered familiar territory and didn't seem to excite the crowd. During her speech, Palin came short of explicitly saying "death panels" but made remarks that the current health-care reform package would lead to government-mandated euthanasia. As befit the crowd, she took a hard stance toward abortion, saying that the fight against abortion is really a fight on behalf of women's rights and equality: "It is so bogus that society is sending a message right now and has been for probably the last 40 years that a woman isn’t strong enough or smart enough to be able to pursue an education, a career and her rights and still let her baby live.” But Palin also departed from her prepared remarks several times, at one point railing against the change (since reversed) to the U.S.'s metal currency that moved "In God We Trust" to the edge of coins, a change which Politico notes was initiated and passed by a Republican-led Congress and signed by then-President Bush. After Palin's speech, a 12-year-old girl seeking Palin's autograph asked if the former governor would run for president in 2012, and Palin "just smiled." Read more here.
