Palin Ropes ExxonMobil into Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline

2009 June 11
by bc3b

The Alaskan Natural Gas Pipeline had been stalled for more than 30 years. Sarah Palin got it moving with TransCanada when she was unable to find a U.S. company to sponsor it. Today, in Houston, she inked a deal with ExxonMobil, making them a full partner. 

Not bad for someone who, in the eyes of some at BJG, isn’t qualified to be a crossing guard or meter maid. How can someone so dumb outsmart the world’s second largest corporation?

With regard to job creation, Sarah walks the walk while Zero talks the talk.

Sarah Palin: moving across America kicking butts, one at a time (sometimes more when necessary).

    For some reason I thought construction had already started. Good for Sarah. More proof that she needs to stay put in Alaska.

    I understand that while Palin was in Texas, she dropped by your place to say hello. Apparently you weren’t home at the time.

    I just love it when Sarah’s redneck brain kicks in and she starts figuring, cyphering and thinking and ends up outsmarting those who are supposed to be much more intelligent.

    Interestingly, even NOW has actually come out to condemn Letterman, placing him in its Hall of Shame and suggesting that its members contact CBS to express their outrage. I guess you even hate Sarah more than NOW does.

    IBD had an article on Sarah recently and her push to open another huge oil field in the oceans off Alaska. Of course no one picked it up nationally. I wish I could find the article, because it was very impressive and so was what she was proposing. If I find it I will share the details. On the other hand the Russians are moving to get to this oil and they dont have a bunch of fruitcakes holing them up.

    So Rush Limbaugh referred to a 13 year Chelea as the White House dog. I was wondering if JustRand is going to stop listening to Rush. Insulting children like that.

    Then I realized that the Rush incident occured SIXTEEN years ago…and Rush apologized. And I started thinking (no jokes, please) that kidding about the looks of a child, and kidding about a 14 year old girl being raped (one way or the other) really aren’t even CLOSE to the same thing!

    It’s a very nonsensical position we’re in right now,” Palin told us. “(We) ask the Saudis to ramp up production of crude oil so that hungry markets in America can be fed, (and) your sister state in Alaska has those resources.”
    Salient portion of IBD article:

    At the time, it was thought that Chukchi’s waters northwest of Alaska’s landmass held 30 billion cubic feet of natural gas.

    Today, Science magazine reports that the U.S. Geological Survey now finds it holds more than anyone thought — 1.6 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered gas, or 30% of the world’s supply and 83 billion barrels of undiscovered oil, 4% of the global conventional resources.

    That’s enough U.S. energy to achieve self-sufficiency and never worry about it as a national security question again.

    The only thing left to do is drill. “Congress can do that for us right now,” Palin told IBD, urging Washington to open the territory.

    That Congress hasn’t is the biggest part of the problem.

    “Alaska should be the head, not the tail, to the energy solution,” Palin said

    chekote: “So Rush Limbaugh referred to a 13 year Chelea as the White House dog. I wonder is JustRand is going to stop listening to Rush. Insulting children like that.

    I don’t listen to Rush.
    Chelsea was 13 years old when? Like bruce said, provide the transcript.

    Lettermen insulted a 14 year old girl two nights in a row, and didn’t call her “ugly” (the dog ref above, if it happened), but instead the one night joked that a 40 year old baseball player had “knocked her up” while she and her mother were at a baseball game…and the next night changed to a 60 year old man.

    Either he thought it was funny if she was forcibly raped, or thought it was funny if a 14 year old girl seduced a 40 (and then 60) year old man and was statutorily raped. Either way I find your moral equivalence of THAT “humor” to what Rush is alleged to have said to be appalling.

    Still, you appear to think the Palin children must pay for the sins you attribute to their mother, and thus they are “fair game”. You’ve indicated that you have 2 daughters…is that how you want THEM treated?

    Letterman’s show is IN New York. Palin and her 14 year old daughter were IN New York. the 18 year old did not even come to New York with her mom.

    The jokes were uttered on TWO CONSECUTIVE days. The outrage began after day one (the A-Rod “knocking her up” joke)…and a NEW set of jokes were written and uttered on day TWO. Letterman has a staff, and you’re telling me that between ALL of them, and after the OUTRAGE of Day One, not ONE of them thought to see which daughter was actually AT the game? Bear in mind, the pictures of Sarah and her SMALL (14 year old) daughter were ALL OVER THE PAPERS in New York.

    But because you believe Letterman meant to call her 18 year daughter a WHORE it is OK? I truly pity your daughters. I’m thru with you.

    Actually the Rush thing happened on his old TV show and Rush says that it was a technician who put up the picture of Chelsea without his knowledge in response to him saying ‘Did you haer there is a new White House Dog?’

    Rush is more valuable to Rs than anyone in the country and equating this to a suggestion that a girl be raped is absurd….but that is what trolls do….have fun Chipotle, I dont have time to kick your butt again tonight.

    As far as my daughters are concerned, I would have NEVER accepted the VP nomination while my teenage daughter was pregnant. To put a child and the family under the kind of scrutiny that comes with being nominated to for the second highest office under those circumstances is selfish. I would never send my daughter on the Today Show to talk about her private life especially after her break up with Levi and him making the rounds of the talk shows. I would never have my daughter go around talking about abstinence after she had said that it was not realistic just to further my political career. I am very protective of my kids and family.

    I don’t listen to Rush except about twice a month for 15 minutes when I’m in the car. If Rush went after Chelsea Clinton, he was wrong and I condemn him for it. But, it was a misdameanor, compared to Letterman’s felony.

    I generally think politicians’ children should be off limits unless they break the law. Gore’s son obviously did and apparently Biden’s daughter (who had previously been arrested for disorderly conduct) was taped snorting one or more lines of coke, but the media squelshed it. While obviously she made a mistake, Bristol Palin broke no laws.

    Kathleen Parker came out and justified Letterman today, saying THIS:
    when you play the flirt and invite males to see starbursts bouncing off the walls, then maybe you invite the sexual punchline.”

    And here I thought the feminist era ENDED that old “Rape Defense Argument” of:
    Your honor, that red dress, those high heels…she was ASKING for it!!

    Kathleen Parker decided about 18 months ago that she was going to become the Plantation conservative for the Washington Post (and the favorite “conservative” of liberals). It’s not just Palin (although that’s what she gets the most coverage for). She has been supporting much of Obama’s program has has been bashing other conservatives.

    I wish I had the money Parker has spent on reconstructive surgery in the past 18 months. She’s pushing 60, but no longer looks it.

    By the way, if Rush really slandered Chelsea unequivocally in ‘93 he would have been fried in the media…..he wasnt. My gal Chipotle’s goal is to have you not listen to Rush. That is your loss, he is upbeat, constantly entertaining and amusing, I will never apologize for listening to him and, along with Ronaldus he is the best American conservative in my lifetime.

    Two interesting things about the Air France crash. They now believe the plane may have fallen apart over a matter of a few minutes rather than crashing as a whole.

    Secondly, there was an Italian woman who missed the flight because she was late and got killed in an auto accident in Europe yesterday. I guess if it’s your time (give or take a week).

    To be fair, I actually changed the subject with the NOW announcement. It shocked me.

    Getting back to the pipeline, we need to become more energy self-sufficient. Gasoline usage is actually down, but the cartel is forcing the price up. California needs the money desperately, but won’t permit offshore drilling.

    Not permitting drilling in ANWR makes no sense. ANWR is so immense and the drilling area is really small. Also, it’s just about uninhabitable by humans or animals – cold, poor vegitation and part of it is dark for three months in the winter.

    Results aren’t all that important. Stuff like dropping “g”s, having a run-on sentence not using a teleprompter or never letting people forget about a bad interview are far more important.

    Seriously, Palin has been hoarding a couple billion from the “record high oil price” days. When prices dropped, she slashed the state’s budget. Now prices are shooting up again and the cost of running Alaska is down. She may be able to outbid the Chinese for the U.S. at the sheriff’s auction.

    Willow was also very prominent at the Seward recognition festivities in Auburn. She was seated between her parents in the 1959 Caddy convertible.

    Since Letterman didn’t get married until several years after his son was born, how is his wife any different than Bristol Palin? If Letterman was inferring that Bristol is a whore (and he was), isn’t Letterman’s wife also a whore? If Regina Letterman had to live as a prostitute, she’d die of starvation within two weeks,

    chekote…so ANYTHING Letterman says about her, or for that matter ANYTHING people DO to her is “fair game”. You have judged this girl guilty of having a mother you despise…and so feel her life is forfeit.

    you’re pathetic. your post above remains unchanged…a “tribute” to you!

    Having sex outside marriage does not make a woman a whore (I hope). But the fact that Letterman THINKS he can allege such about 14 and even 18 year old girls certainly makes HIM a pervert!

    Republicanpundit,

    I saw it a second time, and it was even better. I was too “jarred” the first time – getting used to all the changes, different actors, etc. Nimoy does help bridge the old Trek universe to a new/old Trek universe to a new set of actors. It’s kinda strange how reality and fantasy almost interweave in the Trek film…to coin a phrase: “Fascinating!”

    No. I didn’t say that. I just don’t agree that Letterman advocated the rape of a 14 year old. That’s it. I didn’t say I thought the joke what appropriate. I said the opposite. It was tasteless.

    chekote, Letterman did NOT advocate the rape of a 14 year old. Granted.

    what he DID do was make TWO jokes on TWO consecutive nights about a 14 year getting “knocked up” while at a Yankee game with her mom. Then, when caught up in it, he pretended it was the 18 year old daughter.

    Tasteless? Like saying The Holocaust was “unpleasant”.

    Palin(s) (both of them) were right to defend their children against an aging, classless creep. Now it would be best to let it drop – Letterman will continue to be an idiot, no matter which kid he meant to insult. Any true adult with children (with class) would hopefully recoil & reveolt at such a slanderous remark.

    I’d guess Palin will come out of this with a better political image for “toughness”.

    No one wants to arrest Letterman, but a lot of people are upset about his deliberate attempt to smear Sarah Palin’s daughters. All his lame excuse did was to alienate people more.

    I think he’s got a lot of problems: 1) Conan O’Brien is gaining viewer share; 2) Letterman is getting old and his show is tired and 3) a lot of sponsors are going to be trying to avoid him.

    All in all, not good for Letterman.

    bc3b, Results are what matter most. While Obama and crew pretend to attend to America’s energy needs, Palin is actually accomplishing something to help the situation. Whether she runs for President or not, this pipeline is a good thing for the US.

    In respect to Palin’s style of speech, I believe it is one of her strong points. It helps to seperate her from the Inside the Beltway snobs who look down their noses at the unwashed masses.

    If Republicans and Conservatives had any media sense, they would insist upon all MSM interviews being broadcast in their entirety, unedited. Palin’s ‘bad’ interview was through little fault of her own, but rather through manipulative editing by the interviewers and through bad managment by the McCain campaign staff.

    If Palin’s been hoarding billions, so she can effectively put them to good use later, that would indicate to me that she has better economic and political skills than most other polititians.

    hmmm…so a young woman who admits she made a mistake, and tries to reach out to other young girls and maybe have a positive influence on THEIR decisions is “fair game”. Wouldn’t that mean that recovering alcoholics can NEVER try to help people not become alcoholics?

    sure it would.

    you’re saying that as long as the 18 year stays in Alaska and keeps her mouth shut that fine…but if she DARES to open her mouth then Letterman and the rest of his misbegotten ilk can have their way with her? more of you being pathetic.

    and the SIZE of Letterman’s audience does not determine how much of a pervert he is for making jokes about a 14 year old girl getting “knocked up” by a baseball player while her mom is there!

    he is a pervert, a coward, and a liar. you’re his only defender on this site. I suggest you head over to DailyKos where they most likely Knighted him by now!

    All I can say is it is a far different metric to call someone a dog, while on the other hand ruminate about the possible rape of that person or someone else. I also getting darn tired of the ‘well they did it too…’ routine.

    I was watching part of Kudlow on the media center and there was Rubin moaning ‘well Bush….’. Obama is already a loser since he constantly plays the 3 letters routine.

    Just watched Ingraham.

    1) NOW did issue a statement so that feminists DID say something about the Letterman “jokes”. So Laura was incorrect.

    2) BOR and Igraham show why conservatives don’t win media battles. I would blame the lefty rhetoric about “war crimes”, “killing innocent Muslim” etc. for inspiring the attack on the recruiting center. Just like the over the top rhetoric of Operation Rescue inspired the Tiller murder. The Left has balls and when they see an opening they go through it. The Right is too timid. They see an opening and pause to first determine whether it should go through it.

    JustRand,

    Again with the 14 year old! Letterman emphatically denied that he made a joke about a 14 year old having sex. You choose not to believe him. Fine. When you decide to become a spokesperson for something you are somewhat fair game. Coulter called the 9/11 widows harpies after they took an active political role. The Left ranted and moaned about Coulter. I supported her right to say something since the windows made themselves fair game. Bristol opens herself up. Sorry but that’s the game. I still don’t like tasteless jokes but I am not ready to kick Letterman off the air.

    Letterman may be combining two lines of attack with his ‘jokes’ about the Palins.

    One, attacking Sarah Palin. Nuff said.

    The other, attacking NBC and GE. The new contract between Lettermen’s company, WorldWidePants, and NBC/GE reduces the payout to Lettermen’s company for the Late Show.

    Could be a twofer.
