In case you missed it, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin called for President Obama to “boycott Copenhagen” in an op-ed in the Washington Post today. The piece has, predictably, got the blogosphere abuzz—both for what she says and the fact that she got to say it all.
First, Gov. Palin’s piece takes aim at the Copenhagen climate talks by linking them to the “Climategate” email scandal, which she says undermines the science behind the meeting in the first place. Then she goes back to familiar ground, arguing that the Obama administration’s plan to curb greenhouse-gas emissions will poleax the U.S. economy.
The reactions have been fast and furious. The Huffington Post wonders why Gov. Palin got more space from the WaPo; she did another op-ed critical of the administration’s plans recently. That wraps into wider criticism of the Washington Post, where George Will regularly infuriates environmentalists with his dismissals of global warming. More on that fallout over at the Atlantic Wire.
Gov. Palin’s piece comes in the middle of pushback against the whole idea that the world even needs to reach agreement to curb emissions at Copenhagen—and that the U.S. needs to play a leading role.
National Review, for instance, sets out to slay the dragon, as it were: “More maddening, this tax-and-spend treaty is a costly solution to an imaginary problem. So-called ‘global warming’ threatens Earth about as urgently as does the Loch Ness Monster.”(continued)

And, and, she didn’t even go to Harvard!
She is correct! We need to put the heat on Obummer and the Rats.
Common sense packaged just right.
The world’s crooks have cooked up a scam to get all the marbles, and they intend to do it, even if everyone knows what the scam is. The least we can do is make it hard for them.
She is right , of course. But is that not Obama’s plan? Destroy the USA from within, to the delight of the Rev. Wrights, the Bill Ayers types, the Eurotrash, the foreign and domestic Muslims whose butts Osama kisses with such frequency and such enthusiasm. Let’s face up to the unthinkable: we have elected a member of the America-hating Fifth Column. An appalling vista.
The Elitists are having cows.....
And has probably only eaten Danish pastries, but hasnt been there. Good, sharp cookie. She is getting good advice, too.
Because she happens to know what she is talking about on this issue from her time as Governor of Alaska, plus the Washington Post probably gets more clicks and traffic from her op-ed than from any other politician's. Heck even the loony left vermin from HuffPo were rushing to go read her article, and it sure got the attention of gloBULL warming chief priest Algore.
Sarah telling the un-PC truth about global warming reminds me of Ronald Reagan coming out and exposing the truth about Soviet propaganda during his first press conference. Democrats couldn’t believe that the new president was directly attacking the other world power. How simplistic.
“During my first press conference as president, in answer to a direct question, I pointed out that, as good Marxist-Leninists, the Soviet leaders have openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is that which will further their cause, which is world revolution.”
Ronald Reagan quotes
Death by a thousand cuts.
Palin is doing to Obama what the MSM did to her.
And Obama will look silly attacking a private citizen.
He’s in a no-win situation.
Palin is a lot smarter than her critics think.
A lot smarter.
