Palin: McCain’s VP Choice Is a Former Beauty Queen With Rightwing Views and a Thin Resume
The BRAD BLOG —
In the clip, you'll see Alaska governor Sarah Palin interviewed by the nauseatingly unctious Glenn Beck, which makes the clip NSE (not safe for eating while watching). The interview actually starts at 4: 20.
She was on the program to discuss her lawsuit against the Bush administration to stop them from including polar bears on the endangered species list, and reveals herself to be a rabid anti-environmentalist and a strong proponent of global warming, who favors drilling in her state's pristine wildernesses.
Here are a some highlights of her biography:

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!
Listen to her interview with Glenn Beck way before McCain chose her. She’s not asking what the country can do for her state … She is frustrated and angry her state isn’t being allowed to contribute to the rest of the country! They are floating on oil and gas and she gets it … She gets how we need to get into Alaska and free ourselves from the yolk of Middle Eastern oil … and help ourselves while looking for new and different sources of energy.
She scares the hell out of the dems.

The myth that Sarah Palin "came out of nowhere"
Stubborn Facts —
To believe the narrative created by the media since August 29th, John McCain's decision to pick Sarah Palin was a bolt from the blue, foreseen by nobody. It was branded as a "snap choice"; a surprise, "a stunning selection of a little-known conservative newcomer"; a "surprise choice" that "confounded conventional wisdom"; "a stunning surprise, as McCain passed over many other better-known prospects, some of whom had been the subject of intense speculation for weeks or months."
She was "the most unlikely choice of a running mate" since Dan Quayle, and "[n]ot since [that pick] ... has a running mate ...

The selection of Sarah the Obama Killer as John McCain's VP was such a raging success that she is nowhere to be found on the Talking Heads this morning. Barack Obama and John McCain have "exclusive" interviews, as does D-VP candidate Joe Biden. But Sarah Palin? She's off to that ...

Pipeline Palin’s Crusade Against Polar Bears
Wonk Room —
Our guest blogger is Deborah Brennan, a journalist in Southern California.
Drowning in the gaps left by melting Arctic ice, the polar bears of Alaska have become one of the first creatures to make the endangered species list because of global warming. This was a double blow to Big Oil, as the industry’s pollution is responsible for climate change, and the polar bear seas are sitting on billions of dollars worth of oil and gas. So Gov. Sarah “Pipeline” Palin (R-AK), literally married to the oil industry, is facing down the half-ton carnivore in her legal sights — proving herself ...
