1. How exactly did she work through the Exxon spill
At the time, I believe she was still doing sports reporting or might have not been employed at all.

9. She was TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD at the time...
...possibly, she may have been covering the story as a TV journalist...but why do I get the feeling many FReepers are going "Yes, I remember how Governor Palin got us through that disaster..."

3. Oh can she not even name the spill? Did she forget and just remember
it was called Exxon Something, not that she would remember I'm sure she was out shooting seals at the time.

6. Palin's idea of "industry efforts" are paychecks, oil stipends & control rooms filled with men...
Watching her lips move and ogling her ankles - seems like the energy industry's only effort is to run from their primary responsibility to *not* hire alcoholic ship captains, blow people to kingdom come and suffocate the rest with methane and pass the costs to their families and America

8. "Our prayers"
Who's the 'Our' here?
Is she calling in Thomas Muthee, her Kenyan witchdoctor to pray away the demons?
Get your screeching ass down to the gulf and start washing birds, you bird-brain.

16. What? The press hassle her?
She's their golden goose of "sound-bites" and generates viewers.
Besides, all questions must be submitted ahead of time, doncha' know, also too?

14. Whatever Sarah...
I may be in the minority on this, but I do not like politicians tweeting. It's hard to take them seriously when they use things like "r w/u" instead of "are with you" and "b" instead of "be." Twitter is contributing to the downfall of proper English.
