I tried to catch the Isakson Town Hall at ABAC/UGA Tifton but arrived at the end. Clearly, the event went smoothly and was informative.
When I flipped on MSNBC a few hours later, Tamron Hall reported that Senator Isakson considered it “nuts” to misconstrue the “end of life” counseling provisions in the health care debate as “death panels” and I agree.
This situation is now misunderstandings take place and in South Georgia, nuts better be Georgia peanuts. I think the senator was saying it would be nuts to read the information on Palin’s webpage to be euthanasia—not calling Palin nuts. On the other hand, Palin wisely reframed her position to dial down the rhetoric after a rough weekend.
