« Night One: No Help Teh Fred! Vid Added | Main | National Enquirer Has Palinmania, Too: Hyping a Fairly Minor Story Into a Scandal that Will Rock America!!! » September 03, 2008
Palinmania Breaking Out in Unexpected PlacesChristopher Orr shouldn't be at TNR, and I mean that as a compliment. He's one of the few movie reviewers who seems to know his ass from his elbow. He has a post up called "The Case Against the Case Against Palin." (No, not a typo, read it carefully.) I'm not done reading this yet because I want to get it up quick but let me just be a hypocrite and say read the whole thing, even though I haven't, yet. This is actually his friend's testimony-- "one of the smartest" people Orr knows. Orr himself takes Palin lightly, he admits. His friend counsels against that.
And the Good Time Charlies at Reason seem to reach out for someone to slam Palin, and fail rather spectacularly. This guy is a Democrat... but loves her. Let me tell you all the nice things about Sarah Palin: Sarah Palin has been a pretty freaking awesome governor. She came in saying that the entire system was corrupt, and that Republicans were evil, and she was going to just mix everything up and get us a gas pipeline and end of story. And she got to power, she was elected overwhelmingly by independents, beat Tony Knowles, who had been governor before. Now, this guy seems to think there's going to be some huge scandal that will take her off the ticket. I rather doubt that. Palin is the ticket at this point. But note his joy over her leaving the ticket. It's not for the reason you might guess: [M]y personal prediction is that I give her two weeks... And look -- I love her so much that I'm really looking forward to having her back in 63 days. [...] She's against the Real ID act, which is something I simply do not get but I understand, of course, it's part of mainstream (or mainstreamish) Republican/libertarian/paranoid-survivalist-off-the-grid-Mad-Max thinking. I don't know much about the socking it to the oil companies, except that their demand to build their own pipeline which they'd control was pure ass, and she said "Fuck you next question" and negotiated a proper deal to build a shorter pipe just to connect to Canada's already-existing network. Whether it was right to slap a windfall profits tax on them I don't know (she may have figured, as Alaska is leasing them their land, the state had a right to capture some of those unanticipated windfall profits), but I do know that's going to play well with the public. I retract... My previous suggestion that she should only briefly tout her accomplishments. As her experience is being challenged, and she seems to have picked a lot of big fights with big players and won walking away, she should talk about that a lot Hey, Barry: How many state political parties and gigantic oil companies have you challenged and whooped up on? How many international multibillion dollar pipeline deals have you negotiated? Jesus, Barry: You can't even stand up to your own fucking pastor.
Not a Windfall Profits Tax at All: I'll leave it to Beldar to explain it properly, but apparently this isn't a tax per se but actually simply a charge for the state's oil and gas, which they sell to the oil companies. It's a "fee," really, paid for the gas and oil, but it's called a "tax." The state gets paid for its property via "a tax," called a "severance tax" or "production tax," but it seems really to simply be an agreement as to what fee the state will charge for its oil and gas. The scenario seems to be that the oil companies negotiated an overly-advantageous "tax" for themselves with the corrupt ruling class of Alaska (not a hard thing to manage, I'm guessing). Palin stepped in and said that previous deal wasn't fair to Alaskans, and negotiated a more favorable deal. Rockmon-- That little old gas pipeline that Sarahcuda finally got done is the largest infrastructure project in the nation's history, and it is going to create a ton of jobs. So she has actually created jobs, unlike Barry "Oh"bama or Joe Hairplugs. I bet she mentions this tomorrow. This job of hers is a big fucking deal, and there aren't a handful of politicians in the country that could hve done what she has done. Maybe, maybe not. But I know two politicians who coudn't, one named "Barack" and one named "Joe." | Recent Comments
