Todd Palin's Iron Dog Team Sponsored By Venezuela-Owned Lubricant Brand
As a vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin condemned Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez as a "dictator" and called for "energy independence ... to allow us to be less and less reliant on someone like Hugo Chavez."

Venezuela, one of the top suppliers of oil to the United States, "wanted to use energy sources as a weapon" under Chavez, she said.

But Palin's anti-Venezuela sentiments do not appear to extend to her husband, whose snowmobile racing team was sponsored by a division of Citgo, the retail arm of Venezuela's state-owned oil and gas company.

Todd Palin's Iron Dog snowmobile team competed this year under a sponsorship from Mystik Lubricants, which was founded in Texas in 1922 but now resides under the Citgo corporate banner.

2. Sweet, isn't it? Can these two do anything that doesn't turn out
to be the essence of irony.

3. Hugo's cash spends just like everyone elses's.
The Palins are grifters and they don't care where the money comes from, just that it keeps coming.
