ot: my favorite Palin quote
da pickle nospam
about this position that we have been put in ... where it is the
taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does
is help those who are concerned health care reform that is needed to
help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh —it’s got to be all about
job creation, too. Shoring up our economy and putting it back on the
right track. So healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reining in
spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for
Americans, and trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a
competitive, um, scary thing, but one in five jobs being created in
the trade sector today. We’ve got to look at that as more opportunity.
All of those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout
is a part of that.”

Palin's Latest Rogue Gaffe
There have been so many lies and distortions pointed out in Sarah
Palin's Going Rogue since it was released last week that her memoir
has
already become something of a gag line.
But perhaps the most embarrassing gaffe so far is her mis-attributed
quote to UCLA basketball legend John Wooden.
As the epigram to Chapter Three, "Drill, Baby, Drill," Palin assigns
the
following remarks to the Hall of Fame hoops coach:
Our land is everything to us... I will tell you one of the things we
remember on our land. We remember our grandfathers paid for it--with
their lives.
Only the quote wasn't by John Wooden. It was written by a Native
American activist named John Wooden Legs in an essay entitled "Back
on
the War Ponies," which appeared in a left-wing anthology, We Are the
People: Voices from the Other Side of American History, edited by
Nathaniel May, Clint Willis, and James W. Loewen.
Here's the full quote:
Our land is everything to us. It is the only place in the world where
Cheyennes talk the Cheyenne language to each other. It is the only
place
where Cheyennes remember the same things together. I will tell you
one
of the things we remember on our land. We remember our grandfathers
paid
for it--with their life. My people and the Sioux defeated General
Custer
at the Little Big Horn.
Oops! That's not quite the sentiment that Sister Sarah was trying to
convey as she guzzled down sugar-free Red Bull and cranked up Toby
Keith's "How Do You Like Me Now?" while jumping on her patriotic high
horse at the opening of the third chapter.
There's also no small amount of irony in the quote, given Palin's
abysmal record on Alaska Native issues during her truncated term as
governor.
I was a huge UCLA basketball fan as a kid. Whenever the Bruins came
to
the Bay Area, I did whatever I could do to snag a ticket. I loved to
watch Wooden coach. But I never figured the Wizard of Westwood as an
advocate for radical land distribution.
Obviously this one slipped by Sister Sarah and her crack team of
investigative journalists Lynn Vincent, Meg Stapleton and Ivy Frye,
as
well as all those dutiful fact checkers at HarperCollins. Obviously,
they didn't get the quote from anything Wooden ever wrote, but from a
cute little web site called The Quote Garden. Isn't that sweet?
Okay, I was a little leery reading Palin's book and wondering if she
really had read Aristotle and Plato. Somehow I didn't think so. But I
thought, maybe, just maybe, she might have read Sir John. Apparently
not.
But just because we're all good sports here at HuffPo, I thought I'd
save the former Governor (can you imagine what Wooden thought about
her
quitting?!) a little bit of time, and here are five actual Wooden
quotes, courtesy of the Christian Science Monitor, that she might
want
to take to heart:
1. It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big
things
happen.
2. Failure is not fatal but failure to change might be.
3. What you are as a person is far more important that what you are as
a
basketball player.
4. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation,
because
your character is what you really are, while your reputation is
merely
what others think you are.
5. Never mistake activity for achievement.
We'll see if the second printing carries a correction.

There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy,"
Obama said.
"Making sure your tires are properly inflated - simple thing. But we
could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling
- if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular
tune-ups? You'd actually save just as much!"

Funny how Obama's energy policy when he was campaigning was a tire gage.
When people were stupid enough to elect him, his energy policy became an
idiotic, job killing, tax increasing, $trillion dollar cap & tax plan.

paragraph 8 (or 9)
"That's an estimate, to be sure, and not one from a published, peer-reviewed
study. But remember, Obama said we "could" save all the oil available from
offshore drilling in the protected areas - not we "would" - so if the claim
is merely plausible he's on solid ground."

"Could" and "would" are 2 different things.
How many people have you heard of who pay more attention to the
inflation of their tires since Obama made that statement?
The disparity between the could, and would or did has to be close to
99.9%
It is quite apparent, that producing new offshore oil means drilling
in deeper waters, and to greater depths than ever before.
If the prospects of producing offshore oil is as dismal as you think
it is, why would oil companies do it?
What is the harm in letting them try?
Why so insistent in banning them from trying?
Why are we willing to invest in oil companies drilling offshore in
Brazil, and preventing them from drilling offshore in our own
territory?
You know damn well that those Eeee-vil oil companies are only
interested in making money.
Would you think that they would actually go and drill if there wasn't
enough oil to make it worthwhile?
Why not call their bluff if we are so positive that it wouldn't be
worthwhile?
You can say that it would take 10 or 15 years to get much oil
production.
I ask how much oil production would we get in 10 or 15 years, if we
didn't start now?
That's not even to mention the "getting regular tune-ups" part.
When was the last car you owned that needed a "tune-up" ?

> Why so insistent in banning them from trying?
Because it makes a damn mess. And they don't pay a cent to do it. And
after making a damn mess the oil isn't even "ours". A global company
sells it to the highest bidder on a global market.
How about I come to your backyard Turb and start digging for diamonds? I
don't pay you anything. Worst case I make a huge mess. Best case I make
a huge mess, find some diamonds, and you can bid for them along with the
rest of the world on ebay.
