Sarah Palin Believes Enviornmentalists are Responsible For Oil Spill
4 06 2010
That’s right you tree-hugging, lettuce munching environmentalists, the 15,000 barrels of oil sputzing into the Gulf of Mexico every day is your fault!
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah (“Drill, Baby, Drill!”) Palin apparently knows what it takes to solve our nation’s energy problems, and on her Facebook page she’s making it clear that “radical environmentalists” are the ones who are really causing this catastrophe a mile under the sea.
“Extreme deep water drilling is not the preferred choice to meet our country’s energy needs, but your protests and lawsuits and lies about onshore and shallow water drilling have locked up safer areas. It’s catching up with you. The tragic, unprecedented deep water Gulf oil spill proves it.”
Palin insists that those those darned hippy environmentalists are the ones influencing public policy enough to keep oil drilling away from “safe” places like the Alaska Natural Wildlife Reserve that would finally break America from its dependence on foreign oil.
Yes, the blame lies solely with the activists who are clearly causing the plumes of oil to gush into the waters of the Gulf, and certainly not the failure of a blowout preventer mechanism that was allegedly shrugged off weeks before the catastrophe by an official from the drilling company, Transocean. It could not have been the decision not to employ or require an acoustic switch as a backup to the blowout preventer’s breakdown. And of course, any alleged negligence on the part of Transocean, BP and the Minerals Management Service, which is responsible for regulating offshore drilling of this type, doesn’t even come into play.
You know, I thought after McCain lost she’d go back to Alaska and that would be the last we heard from her. But nooooo, liker a bad rash she has kept popping up. She quit her job as governor and I got hopeful, and now she’s just got more free time to be on TV and doing crazy things like this.
Sigh.
The sad part, is if she saw this headline she would say its leading and its making people believe she actually thinks that environmentalists actually damaged that rig and caused it to be spilling oil all over the Gulf region.
The sadder part of this headline, she probably does have supporters who will believe environmentalists did damage the oil rig since this site and others are quoting what she said. Oi.

“The GOP nominee’s name was literally nowhere to be found on any of the official campaign signage distributed to supporters at the event.” Have any doubts that this woman is running for 2012? The sign says it all.
***In convo with Playbook, a top McCain adviser one-ups the priceless “diva” description, calling her “a whack job.”
The Republican National Committee spending nearly $150,000 to dress and style Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and her family in the wake of her nomination as the party’s vice presidential candidate surprised me. The first rule of fiscal responsibility, in my humble opinion, is to never pay retail. Whether you live in New York, NY or Wasilla, Alaska, there’s no reason you can’t look powerful, professional and put together on a budget.
