THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING! THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING!

By now you may have heard the assertion by Fox News’ Steve Doocy that Sarah Palin does SO have foreign policy qualifications because she runs a state that’s right next to Russia.

I thought it was just another case of Fox News people showing off their godawful improv skills. Turns out that’s actually a GOP talking point. Or if it wasn’t, it is now – Cindy McCain just said the same thing on ABC’s This Week With George Stephanopoulos:

Wow.

Best. Election. Ever.

SARAH PALIN’S PROMISE TO AMERICA: FUCK POLAR BEARS

ITEM: Not to blather on about Sarah “America’s Hottest Governor” Palin, but if yr looking for an administration that will bring real change to Washington by, say, refusing to politicize science and cherry-pick it to suit yr agenda, then McCain/Palin may not be what yr looking for.

EXHIBIT A: Palin has ignored research showing that polar bear populations are declining in the quest to plumb new sources of energy. In fact, she’s sued the Interior Department for putting  polar bears on the endangered species list, on the grounds that (1) polar bear populations have been rising (they haven’t) and (2) protecting them would restrict oil and natural gas development.

EXHIBIT B: Palin says “the jury’s still out” on global warming. In an interview released by Newsmax, Palin said that while she recognized her state would be affected by climate change, that didn't mean humans are responsible.

EXHIBIT C: Palin wants creationism taught in science classes, even though it’s not science.

McCain/Palin 2008: More of the same, only different.

You never change,
