where are sarah palin's comments on the offshore drilling disaster?
according to sarah herself, she is an 'expert' on the oil industry

you'd think she would have something to say regarding the policy she championed

DRILL BABY DRILL

5. Palin on oil spill: 'No human endeavor is ever without risk': "drill here, drill now"
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/right-now/2010/04/palin_on_oil_spill_no_human_en.html


Palin on oil spill: 'No human endeavor is ever without risk'

Sarah Palin, who grabbed Michael Steele's "drill, baby, drill" slogan with both hands in 2008, issues a statement (on Facebook, of course) about the disaster on the Gulf Coast. Parts of it will be familiar to readers of "Going Rogue," who remember the dramatic account of what happened to Todd Palin's work when the Exxon Valdez spilled.

No human endeavor is ever without risk – whether it’s sending a man to the moon or extracting the necessary resources to fuel our civilization. I repeat the slogan “drill here, drill now” not out of naiveté or disregard for the tragic consequences of oil spills – my family and my state and I know firsthand those consequences. How could I still believe in drilling America’s domestic supply of energy after having seen the devastation of the Exxon-Valdez spill? I continue to believe in it because increased domestic oil production will make us a more secure, prosperous, and peaceful nation.

7. But this was a bone-headed STUPID risk
It could have been avoided with a rather simple, well-tested piece of equipment.

But BP wanted to save a million bucks on what they hoped would be "a killing" in the billions.

"Beyond Petroleum", all right -- all the way to ecocide and bankruptcy.

--d!

9. For some reason the MSM
is not pushing her and the tea bags as much as they did. Did the complaints from the people who are sick and tired of this trash finally get to CNN. Fox will never stop but maybe CNN might come to their senses. You see posts all over the net about CNN trying to be the new Fox, do you think they took the hint.
