Last night, at the Oil Palace in East Texas, former half-term
Gov. Sarah Palin invoked the mantra again, saying, “I chant, ‘drill,
baby, drill,’ because it will help make the country energy independent.”
NBC
affiliate KETK in Tyler, Texas aired an extended excerpt of Palin’s speech this
morning, including her claim that if America doesn’t “drill, baby, drill,” soon
we’re “going to be bowing” to “the foreign countries” that “drill for us”:
“When
I was governor, I had to file an amicus brief against Exxon, in favor of the
plaintiffs to get Exxon to finally pay up what they owed Alaskan victims. And
thousands of Alaskans in those 20 years, the fishermen, they died. A whole
other generation now that finally received some compensation. So, how dare BP
put the Gulf victims through such a thing. We have to make sure that BP will
not do this. Will not do what Exxon did to Alaskans all those years ago. But
see, we’ve learned a lot since then.
We’ve
also learned more about government’s proper role and not violating the
separation of powers, which I think Obama is kind of flirting with also, some
government overreach. “, said Palin who quit as Alaska Governor half way through her first term.
Palin is trying to have it both ways when she
correctly says “we have to make sure that BP” will “pay up what they owe” to
victims of the oil spill, but then asserts that President Obama is “kind of
flirting with also, some government overreach. Why do people listen to this clown?
