Bravo, Slate.

Rachel Larimore (think Mickey Kaus with a uterus) never bought into reports that, as mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin charged victims for their rape kits. She is so totally vindicated!

Fortunately, it turns out that skepticism wins the day. Thanks to very thorough debunkings by bloggers Charlie Martin of Explorations and Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee, we can put this bit of nastiness to rest.


Senior year in college, Perc got me hooked on Slate. It seemed totally unique, irreverent and a great read -- a view I maintained for years afterward.

So, the fact that they've outsourced investigative journalism to Mah Grill is, for this long-time reader, pretty fucking demoralizing.
