Palin's Pipeline Gets Last Laugh?

Palin's Pipeline Gets Last Laugh? June 11, 2009

With the countless words being written about David Letterman’s foolish, boorish and uncalled for “jokes” about Sarah (“slutty flight attendant”) Palin and her daughter Bristol (who “did get knocked up” after all, and so deserves jokes implying she is promiscuous and a prostitute by the hypocritical puritans on the left), very little is being written about Sarah Palin’s pipeline.

Jim Geraghty tweeted it first and writes:

Back in March, I took a look at a Portfolio article on Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s plan for a natural-gas pipeline. Among the article’s criticisms of Palin was that she had effectively shut out the oil companies whose cooperation was necessary for completion of the project.

One of her defenders credited her plan for bringing “three of the four key players into alignment: the U.S. government, the Canadian government, and the state of Alaska,” adding, “the fourth player, the producers, are going to have to deal with that reality.”

Well, today TransCanada (the pipeline builders) and ExxonMobil (one of the producers) have reached an agreement to work together on an Alaska gas pipeline.

Not bad for a stoopit, back-woods, white-trash, snow-mobiling, moose-killing, “slutty flight-attendant-looking” hick who didn’t go to the right colleges and stubbornly wouldn’t abort her “retarded kid,” or force her sluttish, teenage daughter to “sensibly squish” her own baby (see comments here) and who didn’t have enough experience to be vice president, unlike the smart current veep (who disclosed his own safe-location) and who certainly was too stoopit and inexperienced to inhabit the Oval Office. Not bad for a “mayor of a small town” who once owned her own business, and then went on to run a state, unlike our current president, who has never run anything or met a payroll, and who – with typical Bushian American Obamian arrogance and unilateralism – appears to have moved the Uighurs (ahem – terrorists) to Bermuda without bothering to talk to the UK about it, once again treating one of our staunchest allies very badly, by means of his “smart diplomacy.”

Yeah, we sure dodged a bullet last November. Whew.

Meanwhile, as David Letterman uses up what is left of his life sneering at her, Sarah Palin is going to have the last laugh, while actually serving others and having done something with her time that will have lasting and positive effect for many.

Moe Lane says his pro-Letterman hate-mail is sounding shrill, hysterical and a little fearful. I have observed the same, myself.
