No, she was an eye-roll, a joke. She still is.

As a differently abled person, you are obviously unaware that the antics
of Kennedy and Rangel have no bearing on Palin's suitability for high
public office. Oh well, sucks to be you.

I really wouldn't. You've surely noticed that Kennedy is dead. Rangel
appears to be a corrupt old coot like so many in Washington, but he is
on his way out. Whereas Palin is today's news. She even has the
potential to split the Republican party going into 2012. Go Sarah.

Well Rob is clearly trolling. But there are a lot of retards out there,
millions upon millions who are too stunned to see that she's a dingbat.

It's a moot point now because this section has been removed. However,
the "counseling" sessions are mandated every five years and the
content of the sessions are also mandated.


��Advance Care Planning Consultation
6 ��(hhh)(1) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), the term �advance care
planning consultation� means a consultation between the individual and
a practitioner described in paragraph (2) regarding advance care
planning, if, subject to paragraph (3), the individual involved has
not had such a consultation within the last 5 years.

Such consultation shall include the following"

Here's the pdf file. The section in question starts on page 425.
