1 I love that woman! She tells the truth and the leftards think they are in Hell. She makes them irrigate their sandals.

2

Funny but they are never that upset when the Post or NY Times turns their Op-ed page over to terrorists.

I was really hoping the link would link to Obama.

3 Even if she's never again a contender, her power as Kingmaker is going to be unavoidable. It's like Newt with a clue. _{And a body that doesn't look like a sack of potatoes.}

4 Bravo Sarah Palin.  Keep annoying the left people.

5 Holy exploding heads! Just went to HuffPo and read the comments on this story. Hilarious. The Libs don't know what to do about the WaPo going off message for a day.

Climategate + Palin = Absoilute Panic.

6 teh Charles is apoplectic!   I love watching his hissy fits.  *lol*

7

Read her book.

8 When the lies get so thick, you know the gulags are being planned.

Bravo Sarah Palin.  Keep annoying the left people.

That's funny in all the right places.

10 I heard Ace had posted a non-cursing post and simply had to drop in.  This can't be it, it's not even 10 comments much less 2,000 and who's this Drew fellow?  Tah!

11 What I would like to see is the Unions weigh in publicly on the economic impacts of the Copenhagen BS? Then we can see some Lefty spin.

12 Watching all the Lefties loose it in the comments sections is priceless.

13 Let's send Palin to the senate in some fashionable pumps and a 10 gauge autoloader and end this cap n' trade/health care clusterfuck right now.

14 A white supremacist read this op-ed somewhere. Therefore, Palin is a racist! Hate speech!

15 Wow, this must really twist the hate filled left in a bunch.

I also think that Palin is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar.

16 That will not happen, but because she wrote it and got it in a major liberal paper at least some more people will get to read about climaquidick.

17 I think it would be hilarious if she had no intention of running but kept stringing along the Lefties as long as possible.

18 I thought she was irrelevant.  Why is the Washington Post giving her a forum if she's irrelevant?

Her political careeeeeer is over.   The woman is a joke....blah blah blah.

It's all wishful thinking.  This gal can write an op-ed anytime she likes and put it in 80% of the print media in this country because she is in demand. 

We haven't had anyone with drawing power like that on our side in a long, long time.

19 She highlights her lack of intelligence by not having the correct pleats in her skirt. Trust me I would know.

20 She just gets better and better. The Sarah Palin of 2012 will not be the same as the Sarah Palin of 2009.

21 Methinks the papers are starting to realize the Present in Chief is on a fast trackto being the most unpopular ever and are hedging their bets with a tad more balance at this point.  As for Palin I hope to god she runs, but she has to get alot more facetime.  Couple years to do so, but two years goes fast.

22 Good, what she should be doing more of...and avoiding the birthers.

23 Come get some Left People!

The Sierra Club can't defeat me.  You might as well try too.

24

I bet Axelrod is wishing she was still Governor, less popular and 7 million dollars poorer, its funny  how his little plan backfired in his face. 

25 Palin is dangerous to the Left, and they hate her with a steaming vengeance. I hear a lot more good policy from Sarah than from the entire Republican 'machine'. I guess the Republicans are content to say stuff to a 'non-audience' of the MSM outlets, which then don't repeat their stuff to the public. Or else they are dumb and silent instead of fighting this stuff. How about we get the RNC on Facebook where we can read what they publish, instead of what the MSM claims they say (or ignore). And I've got a real beef with Obambi. He's been on TV every week since forever. Did he tell us last week that he was going to have the EPA declare CO2 as a pollutant? What the blue bloody hell is going on TV good for if it's not to tell us what he's going to do next. Most secretive and underhanded administration EVAH.

26 [As for Palin I hope to god she runs, but she has to get alot more facetime.  Couple years to do so, but two years goes fast.]

It's always been this way.  What Palin needs to do is raise money for other candidates for office.  She needs allies on the ballots to even have a shot.  This game isn't played with promises.  It's played with money.

At this point in 2005 Senator Obama had already raised over 3 million dollars for his Hope PAC.  Now he's a two faced liar, but he was a two faced liar back then as well.  Now he's a world renown two faced liar.

27 Joseph Romm Senior Fellow, Center for American Progress :

*It is no longer possible to hide the decline of a once great newspaper, no longer possible to hide the decline of the paper that broke the Watergate story, but is now hanging itself on the Climategate story (as James Fallows argues in his blog).

The newspaper that just editorialized, “Many — including us — find global warming deniers’ claims irresponsible,” has just published a grotesquely irresponsible and falsehood-filled piece on climate science and the hacked emails by that leading light of science, ex-Governor Sarah Palin. This is a woman that recently embraced the fact-free birthers.

Palin is so practiced at repeating falsehoods — even in her supposed area of expertise (energy) — that during last year’s presidential campaign, the Washington Post itself gave her its highest (which is to say lowest) rating of “Four Pinocchios” for continuing to “to peddle bogus [energy] statistics three days after the original error was pointed out by independent fact-checkers.” And then in July, the WashPost let her publish a falsehood-filled piece attacking climate action and clean energy.

And now they publish this unmitigated tabloid nonsense:

The e-mails reveal that leading climate “experts” deliberately destroyed records, manipulated data to “hide the decline” in global temperatures….

No, they donÂ’t reveal that.

That's a very good point. The MSM/Obama hit squad has gone so far out of their way to kill her career that when she rises above them (in the polls, public respect, etc.) than what does that say about her tormentors? That they are shortsighted twits.

30 Quitting as Governor was an Anti-Alinsky move that makes her a hard target to fix. Did anyone see her jumping into the AGW debate? While she could be our first female President, she might be more powerful on the outside. Either as a modern Thomas Paine or my preference, chairing an Article 5 convention.

31 Does she really believe in young earth creationism, or is that another bullshit story from the left? In general, though: awesome.

32 I think that Sarah next needs to announce that she's removing all name checks and verification from her donation web site. What's that?, the left will scream bloody murder if one of our candidates proceeds down the same path that the blatently illegal Obama campaign did. Why is Obambi not up under federal charges of election rigging, and campaign fund fraud? We know from our own experience at this site and others that there was not an eye batted at donations from Mickey Mouse, Hugo Chavez, Adolf Hitler, etc. With any non-matching credit card.

33 I'm content to hear lefty heads 'splode from afar.  I don't visit Huffpo, ever.

SHEESH!  Somebody should tell Mr. Romm that arrogance and stupidity is a very unbecoming basis for a personality.

Yes, that, that right there.  I posted a little rant the other day over at DPud that one of the things that has always peeved me about Global Warmening is that the fight about whether or not it's caused by man overshadows legitimate environmental concerns.  I'm no greenie but I am concerned about open pit mining, benzine contamination, strip mining down mountaintops to get the mercury to put into CFLs and Prius batteries, landfull usage, gas leakage from old tanks and other such matters.  Why aren't we using nearly all nukes for power like in France?  (I'll go flog myself over complimenting the French momentarily)  What about water table contamination?  Is nanotech getting us to the point where solar will be cost efficient?  That's what I care about. 

Instead of addressing actual problems, we fight about whether or not exhaling is going to kill the planet.  Crikey.

That was an issue being pushed by The Charles so just consider the source.

38 Does she really believe in young earth creationism, or is that another bullshit story from the left?

If you can find evidence she's ever tried to force her religious views on others, then that would be material. From what I've read, though, she does a better job of keeping her religion out of her policy than does the Sainted Al Gore.

39 But hey, there is good news today.  The EPA says that if Congress doesn't pass Crap n tax, they will take a "Command and Control" regulations over emissions.

Sounds like time to do some more shopping over at ammoengine.com.

42
But wait... I've got a new novel out about the Revolutionary war that I wrote with the help of two other guys that's really really fascinating!

43 Joe Romm is a genius. He says it is tabloid nonsense to disagree with the theory that there is man made global warming that is proven by science. That is true. Anyone that disagrees with that in a democracy should be shunned and not allowed to ever speak in public. These people are ruining the planet we need to find a way to get rid of them. Maybe make them wear shirts with a yellow Earth on the arm? Hmmm there has to be some sort of SOLUTION for these people......

44 Does she really believe in young earth creationism, or is that another bullshit story from the left?

To recycle an old feminist saying: there are maybe half a dozen jobs where someone's beliefs on that subject actually matter, and none of them are in politics.

45 According to Palin's book, she believes in intelligent design, but says (basically) that God is using evolution as part of it.

I did not get the impression that she is a Bible literalist in any way.

46 Alexthechick, I'll help flog later but as for this.

Why aren't we using nearly all nukes for power like in France?  (I'll go flog myself over complimenting the French momentarily)

We aren't using nukes for power because the green assholes hijacked this issue in the '70's.  My dad was in nuclear power research then and the enviroassholes started filing lawsuits at every juncture during the process of building nuke plants.  the companies that had the permits (over 30) decided that they didn't want to tie up millions in resources fighting the court battles and gave up.  They are sitting on many of those permits now.

All the while, a large American company recently got a huge contract to build Nuclear power reactors from............China.

47

Man, I just got home with a speeding ticket in my hand.

I needed something to cheer me up.  This works for me.  Thanks DrewM!

48

Why aren't we using nearly all nukes for power like in France?

I started to doubt the intentions of greenies when they opposed common sense solutions to the problems they bitched so loudly about. Thanks to them, we haven't built a new nuke plant in some thirty years.

Now they're advocating pie-in-the-sky things like solar (only works when it's sunny) and wind (only works when it's windy) that are intermittent in nature and require large batteries to begin to be feasable. They's obviously never heard of the laws of physics. And how many times has The Vapid One© mentioned "weatherization" as the panacea that we're all looking for.

Thank goodness for ClimateGate. It's exactly what us skeptics have needed to debunk the hoax. And debunk it we will.

49 The leftnuts' panties are all bunched up over the WaPo publishing her piece.  She is driving them totally, freakin' Al Gore quality insane.  LOL.  She's just getting started.

50 Hedgehog, there's a lot of NIMBYism regarding storage of spent fuel, too.

51 I would motorboat Sarah Palin if she would let me.

52 The Palin thing came from some retarded lefty blogger: From Wiki Answers: The direct quote from unbearablebobness.typepad.com is as follows: "God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago as ultimately flawed creatures, lizards of Satan really, so when they died and became petroleum products we, made in his perfect image, could use them in our pickup trucks, snow machines and fishing boats. Now, as to the ANWR, Todd and I often enjoying caribou hunting and one year we shot up a herd big time, I mean I personally slaughtered around 40 of them with my new, at the time, custom Austrian hunting rifle. And guess what? That caribou herd is still around and even bigger than ever. Caribou herds actually need culling, be it by rifles or wolves, or Exxon-Mobil oil rigs, they do just great!" The post concludes with the following disclaimer: "Disclaimer: She didn't actually say these things - I made them up. But thanks for all the visits." Then it turned into a viral email - "OMG did you hear Sarah Palin thinks the earth is 4000 years old?1 She is teh Stupid!!11!!lolz!!!1!1 Then Matt Damon opened his inbox and went on TV stating this as fact and that it "scared the hell out of him." Fucking retard.

53 Grognard, Yucca mountain would do fine for now but the real solution is reprocessing.  Just like the French do.

56 Agree completely, Hedgehog.  I just remember there being a huge problem with that here in upstate NY.  Technology has improved dramatically since then, but no one knows that, thanks to the media, and so all anyone has to do is say "Nuke Power" and the throngs of idiots think you want to turn everything into Chernobyl or Love Canal.

57 47 According to Palin's book, she believes in intelligent design, but says (basically) that God is using evolution as part of it. I did not get the impression that she is a Bible literalist in any way. Posted by: grognard at December 09, 2009 12:24 PM (v0kvW) I think a lot of people, on the Left AND Right, make a lot of assumptions about Palin's views. Don't get me wrong, I think she's a pretty solid conservative and I like her a lot, even as I reserve final judgment about supporting her for the Presidency. BUT - the fact is, her answer on illegal immigration was pretty wishy-washy, and I suspect she's ultimately pro-amnesty. And her record of governance was pretty centrist. She's no Leftist Loon, though, and in the 21st Century that appears to say a LOT. But don't assume that means she's necessarily another Barry Goldwater.

58 all anyone has to do is say "Nuke Power" and the throngs of idiots think you want to turn everything into Chernobyl or Love Canal.

Odd. Love Canal had bugger-all to do with nuclear.

59

If you're an anti-Semite, then I'm a Jew. 

The same principle applies to Sarah Palin, aside from her sheer personal awesomeness.

60 60 - CC, your caution is noted.  All we can do is get the best knowledge possible from the sources we have.

I suspect a lot of her wishy-washy behavior is more political positioning than actual belief on her part.  I guess we'll see.

61 Some obvious observations:

1) PDS is an expression of fear. Anger is almost always a secondary emotion; a response to fear.

2) If you hear a lefty talk about Mrs. Palin without foaming at the mouth, s/he may be more afraid of Obama's damage to their cause than a Palin presidency.

3) Wapo realizes that if they don't give Mrs. Palin an OpEd, people will read the same thing on Facebook. They've got to fluff their numbers somehow.

I think Palin is most effective when she's got just a sling and five smooth stones going up against a giant. In this mode she has won over and over again. The opposition must understand this David & Goliath dynamic and are desperately seeking Palin-countermeasures.

62 Sadly Palin still sounds like she did as VP candidate and Governor, which is OK but not as good as Inhofe on the issue of anthropogenic woreball gorming.

Burn the squish!!

63
Odd. Love Canal had bugger-all to do with nuclear.

Correct, but that doesn't stop people on the fringe of awareness from thinking "pollution" and jumping to the conclusion that storing spent nuclear fuel nearby will turn them all into that guy in RoboCop that gets hit by the car.

64 By the way, as for my prior post about China.  They plan to activate 24 more state of the art nuclear reactors over the next 11 years. 

I guess their permit process is a bit simpler than ours.

65 Can anybody get onto 'Big Government'?

Now they're advocating pie-in-the-sky things like solar (only works when it's sunny) and wind (only works when it's windy)
The left really only advocates these power generating schemes until the rubber hits the road, much like their support for the "good" war in Afghanistan. When it comes time for implementation, they will pivot.Wind farms off Santa Barbara or Martha's Vineyard, no can do, destroys the view. And when the fashion changes they will find a new emotion. Wind turbines endanger our avian friends. Solar panels damage the desert tortoise habitat. Paper grocery bags harm trees, use plastic, no, wait! Plastic bags kill the fishes, use paper.
It never ends...

77 The best part of this is that some people who didn't even know there is a scandal now do, only because Palin wrote an article.  Beautiful.

78 Boycott Copenhagen?!  I mean, I prefer Skoal, myself, but a boycott seems going a tad far.

79 This is something else that we have to "thank" Jane Fonda for- that masterful work of luddite propaganda: "The China Syndrome" went a long way towards scaring off public support for nuclear power.

He helped that idiot Energy Secretary kill it off and congress de-funded it.  The funny thing is that the law Bush signed in 2002 stated that we should begin to build the site to accept nuke waste.  It has just been ignored.

82 Algore made so many false and misleading statements about so many things that he got an Oscar for a movie of fiction. He promoted the "Hockey Stick" that was eventually proven to be fiction and recently on a TV talk show he said that the middle of the earth was "Millions" of degrees hot. Where are the lefty scientist complaining about false science? This morning I read about the data that was used by all three climate groups to come up with their "Individual" findings. It turns out that they all used raw data from ONE source and then went on to fudge their own conclusions. The author took some of the easily confirmed recent data and plotted them on the "Fudged" graphs for the same period of time and found that they were actually the opposite of the fudged graph by the "Big Three". How can anyone, no matter what your beliefs are, not want to see an honest re-examination of the data?  If the data said that computers or cell phones caused the planet to warm, would the true believers stop using them? Or would they ask for more studies? 

83 I started to doubt the intentions of greenies when they opposed common sense solutions to the problems they bitched so loudly about. Thanks to them, we haven't built a new nuke plant in some thirty years.

People forget that in the early 60s, the greenies were all in favor of nuclear energy, which they saw as a good way to to eliminate the pollution caused by oil and coal consumption.

Then when nuclear power became feasible, they suddenly were against it, and started heavily pushing solar power instead

Now you can read articles in greenie publications about the environmental dangers of solar power and the environmental dangers of manufacturing solar panels. So they'll come out totally against it before too long.

So, in other words, the greenies are only in favor of technology that doesn't exist, yet. As soon as it does, they'll oppose it. This is how they disguise their Luddism.

You have never seen this woman in a campaign THAT SHE RUNS. Next time, she will call the shots. You are not going to believe how well she does campaigning. It will be unlike anything youve ever seen. She will bring NEW people into the process. It is already happening. There are millions of young girls right now looking at her who arent polled. They will be over 18 by 2012. That is just one facet of Sarah Palin's power.

The left and the elite GOP had no idea who they were messing with when they tried to destroy her. I can't wat for you all to see it.

"...good environmental policymaking is about weighing real-world costs and benefits -- not pursuing a political agenda."

Are there mirrors or reflective glass in Starbucks? Apparently there's, um, a market for it.

96 This is brilliant!

Obama postponed his trip to the very end, so that in case these two weeks make the conference into a joke or disaster he could, at the last minute, come up with some reason to cancel and not be involved in said disaster. He needs this to be a successful Copenhagen trip, otherwise the public will slam him for TWO big Copenhagen failures.

Now along comes Sarah telling him not to go. So now there is no way he can NOT go. Obama has been forced to go to Copenhagen and publicly believe in it, wholeheartedly.

Just read this little GEM of a comment on there. Do they really think if they attribute all of Obamas gaffs to Palin and say it loud enough and long enough that it will become fact? The one that particularly got me was the bolwing special olympics reference... I seem to recall that Al'Bama had to call the head of the special olympics and apologize for saying this? Hmmm maybe all the videos on those no good right wing "wingnut" websites like "Youtube" are wrong. All edited... Every one... 

"Remember during the election when that dunce Palin spelled that "three-letter word" J-O-B-S? Remember when she said she'd been campaigning in 57 states? Remember when she said Roosevelt went on TV at the start of the depression, despite the fact that he was not president and nobody owned a TV? Remember when she compared her poor bowling skills to a "special Olympics" athlete? What an idiot! Can you believe she ever got so close to the White House?!"

103 A Palin thread!  Did I miss anything?  Are the trolls here yet?

Sarah tied this albatross firmly around his neck.

Between Palin and Andrew Breitbart, whom are delivering simultaneous beat-downs, the left simply does not know what's hitting them.

It's like a saloon brawl in a western movie, where the guy gets punched in the face, staggers over to the bar only to have another guy smash a whiskey bottle over his head. That guy staggering around is the loony left. Breitbart punched him in the face and the bottle was wielded by Sarah Palin.

Drat.  I hope you're mistaken, or that she'll be enlightened.  That was my primary concern over her.  Still, there's two years to go.  If that's my only problem with her, I might still go for it.  Depends on who ends up being Governor of Texas, and who's running in the WasteOfAVote party.  I'm damn sure the Democrat won't be pro-border enforcement.

And as a side note, I really hope she doesn't start sounding like just another politician in terms of giving gaseous answers that don't evaluate to anything in particular.  That'd be a major disappointment.

110 nickless, great article, thanks for the link. 

I've always thought that each form of energy had its place.  For example, solar never struck me as a viable way to mass produce energy for public consumption.  It is excellent for taking 1 house off the grid with a HUGE investment that will never pay off financially - but perhaps with security.  If you're looking to be self-sufficient, solar is a step in that direction, depending on geography and climate.

I think the article does a nice job in laying out where the real future is - nuclear.

I did read somewhere that the supply of nuclear fuel is rather limited.  If, for the sake of argument, all electric power was generated from nukes, the fuel would run out in 250 years or something.  I don't remember where I saw this.

Can anyone slap this down or back it up?

111 her answer on illegal immigration was pretty wishy-washy, and I suspect she's ultimately pro-amnesty.

They're probably going crazy justifying the climate conference thingy. 

113 Less@99,

Good point. Obama will do the reverse if possible not because it's a good idea necessarily but because it's what someone else recommends. He's outwardly contrarian for the sake of being contrarian just to be perceived as leader rather than follower. He has to be overtly "unprecedented."

Obama has shifted his Copenhagen schedule several times due to the rapidly changing political dynamic, and now he's tethered to it -- all because of a timely post from his most potent foe.

Delicious.

115 Click the ads on the WaPo page with the Palin article. Give them your honest attention and maybe buy something. Conservative reporting is supported by ads and demand for products just like everything else. WaPo did a good thing. Help them get their reward.

126 So if Obama goes to Copenhagen on the last day and commits the US to forking over a gazillion $US to corruption-filled, dictator-led impoverished nations WHILE we're in the midst of a serious economic crisis here at home, he will hasten the downfall of his party next year, and by a huge margin.

But if the C-hagen deal looks iffy, like it won't actually happen, he probably won't go because that will just look like "Chicago Olympic Bid Fail II".

And either way, Palin comes out on the right side of the argument.

Suh-freakin'-weeeeet! 

127
So the Washington Post gave Palestinian PM Ismael Haniyah space on the op-ed page to weigh in on current events.

While I understand why others (LGF, for instance) are upset at what appears to be legitimizing a leading voice for terror...

That's from the first line of the last link.  Something tells me the LGF crowd wouldn't be upset about WaPo putting up an editorial from the Palestinean PM today, you know what I'm saying?

 Sarah Palin is a Brilliant Woman and a born leader. Sarah should now study  Spanish so she can speak directly to the U.S.A's Latin American  community as well. GWB spoke Spanish in his 2000 & 2004 campaigns and won many over with his Spanish. American latins are by and large, family oriented and church going. They are a natural constituency for her policies and programs. She has been front and center for Native  Americans in Alaska   and if uses the same approach with Latin American citizens she will cleave off a large portion of the Latin vote should she choose to run in 2012. This is the secret weapon that will put her over the top in 2012!~. Latin Americans voted for obama but many not happily having done so. PEBO has dissapointed many and they will flock to Sarah Palin and her values of Family, Country and faith!

 

P.S. Someone please forward this this note to Sarah Palin or her contacts.

131  actually, as a half hispanic, our faith as catholics is really strong and we respect positions of power.  also, most latinos want to work and do the right thing, they don't want hand-outs..most have too much pride

we don't respect obama because he's weak, so sarah will do fine with the latino vote

140 Rush is playing clips from the Goreacle. The polar ice cap will be gone within the decade.

141 According to Palin's book, she believes in intelligent design, but says (basically) that God is using evolution as part of it.

I did not get the impression that she is a Bible literalist in any way.

Add to that the fact that she served on two of Alaska's oil and gas regulatory bodies (before and during her governorship).  She understands where oil and gas come from and that the petroleum-bearing formations are millions, not thousands, of years old.

I am waiting for her to hold a press conference on Little Diomede Island where she can point across the channel and say, "See that other island over there?  That is Russia, people.  Now you too can tell the world that you stood on Alaskan soil and could see Russia."

144 My favorite radio station is all-volunteer and is financed solely by listener donations (so they say). The reason they've never gotten a red cent from me is a feature they frequently air called "Earth and Sky," which bills itself as a "clear voice for science."

Of course, it is no such thing. It's all-lefty propaganda all the time. Today, they had a sound clip from some "expert" whose basic premise was that we can't wait for science to accurately determine what is happening to the planet's climate; we have to do something now. This tells me that the AGW alarmists are getting desperate. They realize that the more the issue is examined, the more opposition they face, so that we need to take irremediable steps to implement their program.

BTW, the voice that introduces and signs off "Earth and Sky" sounds suspiciously like Dan Rather.

145 Sarah does more good with her immaculately manicured little finger than all the so-called leadership of the Republican party does with their entire collected brains.

A modest proposal to provide an essentially unlimited source of energy for human use.

1) Build a manufacturing facility on the Moon to extract raw materials for photovoltaic cells and the building materials for the phase 2 project.

2) Use the materials from phase 1 to build a belt of photovoltaic cells many kilometers wide around the Moon's equator.  Equip the belt with robotic systems for maintenance, repair, and surface cleaning of dust and micrometeorite debris.

3) Concurrent with phase 2, build relay stations in Earth orbit (or at Lagrangian L4 and L5 points with respect to the Earth and Moon), as well as receiver stations on Earth.

4) Switch on the system.  The photovoltaics on the Moon convert sunlight to electricity without any atmosphere to reduce incidence of solar radiation;  the electricity gets converted to microwave energy and relayed to Earth.

Because the photovoltaics form a belt all the way around the Moon's equator, half of the belt is always in sunshine.  The system is always on, without regard for weather.

yep, thats why libs hate Sarah!

149 Does anyone else love watching the puppets dance every time Sarah Palin speaks as much as I do?  So predictable, so lockstep, so unthinking....  Dance, puppets, dance!

150 O/T -- Tuesday, Dec. 15, 1:30 p.m. -- the Code Red Rally at DC against ObaPelosicare (via Rush).  Make plans to make tracks.  The pubbies said they need all the help they can get to stop this.  The libtards are telling their folks taht the populist anger has subsided so they can vote for the bill.  Ha!  Moron Meetup?

151 Rushbabe, thanks for the pics! 

A couple of thoughts:
1. Barney Frank looks like jabba the hut
2. Otters have been a protected species for a while.  I'm thinking that Alaskan Natives can hunt them, and that purse is hand made by one of her relatives.  Sarah prizes her family's heritage, screw the PC peta crowd.
3. Todd Palin makes me swoon. Yikes!

Read her book.

Posted by: Cooper at December 09, 2009 11:52 AM (DXHVe)

If you do, you learn that she accomplished in less than two years as Governor what most Governors, Senators and Congressmen achieve in their full lifetimes of public service.  And you learn that she applied common sense to apply enough leverage to Exxon-Mobil to get them to start drilling on an unused lease (the "drill it or lose it" gambit that later the Democrats, of all people, adopted as their own) and to get the AGIA gasline project off top-dead-center, where it had been for 25 years.  She's not one of those "idea people" or great orators who express Deep Thoughts that somehow never make an iota of difference in people's lives.  She's a doer -- and that makes "idea people" like Frum and Brooks feel sad, inadequate and threatened.

154 I remember Sarah keeping the polar bear off the endangered list before she was ever a nationally-known name.  Michelle Malkin had posted a story about it, and I remember saying "I like this lady, wish we had more like her in the lower 48."

Yeah, and Fox News has an AP story on their site. "U.N. Weather Agency at Climate Conference Says This Is Warmest Decade on Record".

I would love to know why the fuck an allegedly conservative news outlet gives distribution to horseshit like this. The AP sucks, has sucked, and will continue to suck. This is how supposed conservatives like my own dad become confused on the climate issue.

There's no point in ignoring the fact that 90% of the news that Americans get from their newspapers has been vetted by Leftist acivists at AP. Fox putting up an AP article full of lies and distortons is the best way to nullify the effect of such stories  and expose the AP as a political special interest group as opposed to a news aggregator.

167 Yeah, because I really trust someone who went to 4 different colleges and barely graduated - with a communications degree - to address complex scientific issues she doesn't even understand.

Why not?  You trust a lawyer who barely even practiced law to address every single complex issue of governance in the United States.

I'd trust a former governor of an oil-producing state who served on her state's oil and gas commissions before and during her governorship and one who also pushed for a target of 50 percent renewable energy in her state (up from the 25 percent she actually achieved) over that lawyer, or the statisticians who pass themselves off as atmospheric chemists and physicists, or people who make facile, uninformed, stupid comments about politicians.

First, please offer evidence that she "barely graduated". 

Second, when you find a copy of ObaMao's transcripts, proof that he wrote either of his books, or any other evidence that he's not a total fucking idiot, please get back to me.

Third, unlike the Ivy-Leaugue educated trust-fund shits who have ruined this country and never earned a fucking thing honestly (Clinton, both Bushes, Bernanke, Paulson, Geithner, and the current waste of DNA in the white house), she actually had to work to pay her way through college. She had to go to college in places she could find work.

Fourth, please tell me why I should listen to Al Gore, who flunked out of divinity school and has no scientific background whatsoever, and who stands to become one of the richest men on earth from this scam.

Fifth, go fuck yourself in the ass with a hot piece of rebar, you talking-point-spewing shitstain.

170 BUT - the fact is, her answer on illegal immigration was pretty wishy-washy, and I suspect she's ultimately pro-amnesty. And her record of governance was pretty centrist.

She's no Leftist Loon, though, and in the 21st Century that appears to say a LOT. But don't assume that means she's necessarily another Barry Goldwater.

171 I would love to know why the fuck an allegedly conservative news outlet gives distribution to horseshit like this.

It is because they are NOT conservative and never have said they are.  They are a mixed bag of people who are mostly liberal.

172 #174, Vic, I suppose that's what I was getting at. Fox seems to do rather well for themselves pretending to be the "conservative news choice" when their content comes from the AP, just like MSNBC and CNN.

Palin's rebuttal to Gore's rebuttal:

Steven Hayward has a great article in The Weekly Standard on the Climategate scandal. Be sure to check it out.

The response to my op-ed by global warming alarmists has been interesting. Former Vice President Al Gore has called me a “denier” and informs us that climate change is “a principle in physics. It’s like gravity. It exists.”

Perhaps he’s right. Climate change is like gravity – a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, any governmental attempts to affect it.

However, he’s wrong in calling me a “denier.” As I noted in my op-ed above and in my original Facebook post on Climategate, I have never denied the existence of climate change. I just don’t think we can primarily blame man’s activities for the earth’s cyclical weather changes.

Former Vice President Gore also claimed today that the scientific community has worked on this issue for 20 years, and therefore it is settled science. Well, the Climategate scandal involves the leading experts in this field, and if Climategate is proof of the larger method used over the past 20 years, then Vice President Gore seriously needs to consider that their findings are flawed, falsified, or inconclusive.

Vice President Gore, the Climategate scandal exists. You might even say that itÂ’s sort of like gravity: you simply canÂ’t deny it.
