The Fartknocker Report: Sarah Palin Knows Democrats Are Causing California’s Drought

The Fartknocker Report: Sarah Palin Knows Democrats Are Causing California’s Drought

The Sarah Palin Fartknocker Report, Presented By Fartknocker

Yr Wonket has been covering the Sarah Palin Channel for the better part of a year now, and we have never, ever seen Palin say something this breathtakingly stupid. Hyperbole? Perhaps. But take a gander at this stupid, and have the number of your nearest burn unit on hand, because this is just searingly dumb:
Oh my goodness, California. Such an ideal state. Oh man, just, close to perfection. Except your politicians! Wow, your politicians.
. . . .

California has been suffering from a long-term drought; most people are aware of that. Governor Brown’s answer, though, to that drought is to impose a 25% water reduction on California’s cities and towns. His main target are [sic] those really nice landscapes and lawns on golf courses and campuses and cemeteries and private property, your yards! Well, as long as those, long showers that maybe you take. [sic]

. . . . .


Sarah Palin’s solution to this problem is simple: Just build more reservoirs!
You might ask, though, why don’t they just fix the infrastructure problem, why don’t they just build more reservoirs and plants? After all, California is a coastal state. It’s got a whole ocean right there, water all around ya.

Yr Wonket would not ask the first part of that question, actually, for the same reason that we would not arrive at a party that had run out of booze and suggest someone go pick up more empty bottles. Reservoirs do not come pre-filled. They are quite literally places that require you to “Just Add Water,” water that California simply does not have. Palin then goes on to explain that “the environmentalists” are against her plan to drink the sea just because desalination plants are unbelievably energy intensive, as if that’s even a legitimate concern for a state that has been whipsawed by energy prices.

there wouldn't be one damn thing left. This is cretinous even by Sparklemoose standards.
