Palin to Rape Victims: I'm Not Lying; It DOES Suck to be You

So, obviously, Palin vehemently denied that she charged rape victims for rape kits.
From USA Today:
Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella said in an e-mail that the governor "does not believe, nor has she ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence-gathering test."

"Gov. Palin's position could not be more clear," she said. "To suggest otherwise is a deliberate misrepresentation of her commitment to supporting victims and bringing violent criminals to justice."

Well, folks, what do you know? She's been caught lying. Again.
From Op-Edna:

Thanks to the Huffington Post’s Jacob Alperin-Sherriff, Sarah Palin has been linked directly to the decision to force sexual assault victims to pay for their own rape kits in Wasilla, Alaska, while she was the town’s mayor.

Her signature on the documents cutting the cost of rape kits out of Wasilla’s budget and putting it on the victims of sexual assault not only confirms her knowledge of and involvement in implementing this heinous, disturbing policy, but also proves that her campaign is outright lying.

Here is the link to the specific document: http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/WasillaAnnualReport.pdf

Here is the signature:

This brings me to my next question: What other myriad untruths have yet to be uncovered, Sarah Palin, if that's your real name.
