Here’s Pathological Palin in Toledo, Ohio this morning, bragging about her awesome pipeline that’s going to save us all.
…there had been talk of building another pipeline to transport cleaner, greener natural gas down to the Lower 48. But that’s all it ever amounted to — talk. And one of the main obstacles was big oil itself — ExxonMobil and other companies. …
They were holding out for more billions of dollars — in public money.
So we introduced the big oil companies and their lobbyists to a concept some of them had forgotten — free-market competition.
"Free-market competition"? Bullshit.
Governor Sarah Palin’s signature accomplishment – a contract to build a 1,715-mile pipeline to bring natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48 – emerged from a flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration, an Associated Press investigation shows…
Despite Palin’s boast of a smart and fair bidding process, the investigation found that her team crafted terms that favored only a few independent pipeline companies and ultimately benefited the winner, TransCanada Corp.
Go on, Sarah:
When the last section is laid and its valves are opened, that pipeline will lead America one step farther away from reliance on foreign energy. That pipeline will be a lifeline — freeing us from debt, dependence, and the influence of foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart.
Ponies for everyone! Except Palin’s pipeline is still a pipedream.
There’s no guarantee that the 1,715-mile pipeline will ever be built. Even if it’s not, the company selected to lead the project could still receive up to $500 million in state subsidies.
So not only is this pipeline a pony, it appears that Sarah Palin is a big fat socialist.

Palin 2012!!!!
An almost Red commie if ya ask me!!
I was at a business function with a room
full of hardcore fiscal rethugs.. interestingly, they had nothing to say about Obama at all… didn’t even mention his name. but boy, they had it in for Lady Sarah… absolutely nasty viscious humor. and at Same for picking her. either she succeeds in. ending the corporatist branch of her party or they’ll end her.
This lady represents the worst that America has to offer, divisiveness, fear mongering and total ignorance of anything that does not have to do with hockey (or sports in general).
speaking of “free market” I love how big industry leaders loves them some free fed money. Last night on newshour, two auto industry guys were going at it, one saying that Chrysler doesn’t make cars people want to buy and the other saying “I’m a believer in the free market, but the government should be supporting these companies who are planning to….blah blah blah”
If a company makes a product no one wants, then it should die in the free market and let another company come in and build what customers want. Gee, I wonder why car manufacturers are taking so damn long to figure it out. Hmm, I can’t seem to put my finger on it. Something about fuel efficiency or alternative fuel, or fools or something.
Great one, BT!
Sarah is the gift that just keeps on giving. She’s even an equal opportunity giver. When she gives out preferential treatment to her co-conspirators or family, we also benefit. We should be so lucky for her to be the nominee in 2012. Slam-dunk for 8 years of Obama-Biden.
Honestly, I think Palin’s going to gun it for Ted Stevens’ seat. I really do. either that or televangelism.
Er, too late for that.
McCain: You’re gonna love her!
:P
Todd appointed to the seat and Sarah to Fox News.
oh, sorry, I didn’t mean this time around…unless she can appoint herself?
I love it when the Rs have food fights. Any odds on which side will win?
Senator Dude!
Interesting question.
the side with the money?
Unable 2012!!!
I left you a reponse downstairs
That’d be my guess.
KO sums Palin up nicely

Off to read.
How was Biden?
You said Obama looked tired this a.m.? he has to be in Kissimmee at 11. that’s rough. and who know where tomorrow morning.
Honestly, I think Palin’s going to gun it for Ted Stevens’ seat. I really do. either that or televangelism.
Margaret Carlson nailed it last night on KO.
“I think she’d make a great game-show host!”
hmmm… how about “My Price is Right”?
That pipeline will be a lifeline — freeing us from debt, dependence, and the influence of foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart.
A Canadian company was selected to free us from the influence of foreign powers? Doe she have something in mind for Canada?
Just sayin
How about a daytime talk show host?
Food fights? The McCain campaign is starting to act like the Donner party.
yuck andrea Mitchell on the tv. when is she going to retire and spend more time with her family?
Family Feud.
Senator Dude!, the only senator who actively wants to secede from the United States, and has the lack of a security clearance to back up his position!
details, details….
Biden was great. The crowd was stoked even though it was only 40 degrees.
Yeah, Barack better find a way to get some rest while he keeps up the rallies. He sounded out of breath at the end of his speech this morning when I listened to it online.
How about a daytime talk show host?
The Sarah Palin Show!
(note – all prospective guests must provide solid documentation of a non-triple-digit IQ before booking acceptance)
Maybe he needs to drink lots of Rockstar or Jolt.
oh, so nitpicky about security clearance. cheney can tell us “he’s a good man” and presto!
Since Montel had to retire…
This mother hen noticed he was out in the cold without a hat. One can lose most of their body heat through their head. I understand why he didn’t wear one,but still. takes its toll.
How about she goes home and practices some of those family values she’s always talking about. She’s passing off her special needs child for someone else to care for. I would love never to see her face again.
MCain-Palin Energy Policy: BLAH BLAH BLAH
Good afternoon BT.
Slamdunk of a post, kudos.
First guest, Ashley Todd!
assuming Same loses, it’s going to be bloody. The corporatists are going to fight for a Stalinesque purge of the holy rollers and, I’m sure, vice versa too. its gonna be total war. rethugs in the wilderness are an awesome sight to behold. thanks Sarah. I hope for your sake AK will take you back, cause Palin 2012 will be
over the dead bodies of half their party
Republics like Sarah hate to have to actually practice what they preach.
Left you another one. Not sure I’m really understanding what you’re saying, but I’m giving it a try.
http://firedoglake.com/2008/10…..nt-1703865
Ding!
I would love never to see her face again.
may I advise that you stay home on Halloween?
And have all those Sarah Palins knocking on my door asking for handouts?
And have all those Sarah Palins knocking on my door asking for handouts?
have you considered liver as a Halloween treat?
kids love it….
Lots of folks talking about about Palin 2012. If Begich wins she would have to be reelected in AK. Do people in AK have any kind of memory?
Left you a response.
haaha! Halloween is coming!
from the SF chronicle
and, other than that, how do you feel about her? /s
I guess we’ll have a bunch of lil Obamas, Palins and McCains running around on Friday. Anyone wanna lay beets as to how many ‘crimes’ will have been committed by Obama (masks) come halloween?
I just got my first venison liver of the season yesterday, and NO ONE can have any but me. (Have friends who enjoy organ meat & I might invite them to share when I cook it.)
it would be an election, not an appointment, but he’s made it very clear he’s not stepping down, period.
I’m amazed by the incredible amount of public interest in Sarah Palin. Good or bad, she’s become somewhat of a pop icon. People are dressing like her to be and/or mock her all at the same time.
For instance, I found this video on dressing like Palin:
http://www.mindbites.com/lesso…..arah-palin
LOL dude
Her 15 minutes are almost up then I never ever want to hear her voice again.
Well she DOES practically live in Russia.
Does that make her a communist by propensity?
heh
Happy Birthday !!!
*Champagne toast*
the best part of the video is the last line:
“why wouldn’t you want to dress like sarah palin, it’s cheap.”
oh yeah, right!
Thanks!
I’ll leave your birthday song here as well:
Parabéns a você,
Nesta data querida.
Muitas felicidades,
Muitos anos de vida.
oops you saw it downstairs. LOL oh well, who doesn’t love birthday songs
Don’t feed the trolls. It only encourages them.
I miss the good ole days of roasting trolls with TRex …
Me, too!
I wasn’t around then. Sounds like I missed some good BBQs.
The Best !
The only thing that topped those Late Nights were when Punaise and the others would get into a Pun-Fest …
Fixing one typo:
Parabéns pra você
Nesta data querida
Muitas felicidades
Muitos anos de vida!
sorry, I couldn’t help it. It’s like eating too much chocolate. i know i shouldn’t but sometimes I do anyway *g*
OT
McPain mobs have escalated to threats to Obama supporters that the police had to break up.

I could tell you were having fun.
I caould do something more constructive like go colour some more yes on 8 signs
Robin Yess is running for some R office in Ulster County, and you see her signs on some lawns.
http://ulstergop.org/candidates.html
The propensities of proximity or permutations thereof?
How close, really, is Sarah to contagion from the Gawdless horrors who are but a stone’s throw from her picture window?
Has she been brainwashed, all unknowingly of course, by insidious rays beamed into the large Alaskan ungulates favored, regularly, on the Palin’s dinner-plates? Such hoofers might well even have co-operated, willingly, in the hopes of ‘redress’, of a sort.
Deery me, I shall have to cease such speculation, we have far graver concerns to cariboooot, given the mooserible conditions extant in the lower 48.
you could really have some fun with her signs
Exactly my questions.
House up the road has had a for sale sign on the lawn for at least a year. Election time comes, and a McCain-Palin sign and a Yess sign get added. As those piss off about half the potential buyers, I think the joke is perfect as is.
heh. at the very least, it drives the point home about republicans
put her on the view with her BFF, hasselbitch.
dya think?
Have you seen him lately?
last time was when he was ‘testifying’ on the hill.
