Hit pieces about Obama they'll NEVER put on the front page!

Wow, the NY Times is doing a hit piece on Palin because she struck a deal that was tough on Big Oil. The audacity of these scumbags.

Mr. Stedman, the Senate finance committee co-chairman, said he now believes that the Legislature was overly eager to support a new governor and see a pipeline project move forward. He contended that Ms. Palin’s bill seemed intentionally written to keep the three major Alaska oil producers from submitting proposals. Demonizing Big Oil, he added, could come back to haunt the state. “It’s a sad state of affairs, but it’s true: if you look at the politics of the state and you want to have a devil, you can point at Exxon, as well as at BP and Conoco,” Mr. Stedman said. “It is good politics.”

Looks like the homosexuals at the Times have started to file their first set of reports from Alaska...

They can’t do a hit piece on Obama’s accomplishments because he has none.

The sooner and quicker we start such projects, the sooner and quicker we get to energy independence.

Yep, looks like the first in a long line of hit pieces. This one is so lame that I think most people will see through it.

WTF is it with liberals and their compadres in the MSM about not wanting to start anything because it takes too long to finish? Hell bells! No wonder they want they government to pay their retirement. Saving money probably takes too long for them!

What needs to be restated is that the approval of such a project will immediately drop prices on the market.

Did anyone see how quickly oil prices fell after Bush’s televised statement about off-shore drilling about a month ago?

There will be an immediate impact.

The first section has yet to be laid, federal approvals are years away

Gov Palin did her job. Now it's the Feds turn.

Contributing to the project’s uncertainty is Ms. Palin’s antagonistic relationship with the major oil companies that control Alaska’s untapped gas reserves.

Yup. Oil companies are so stupid and filled with hate for Gov Palin that they'll shoot themselves in the foot and pass on making a profit.

As usual the Slimes are being stupid. And biased.

Gee, that makes Sarah's efforts about 50% closer to providing energy and jobs than anything the liberals have done.
As for the author's skepticism about the oil companies enthusiasm, there's no way they will pass up that revenue source.

You mean to tell me a 1,700 mile long pipeline can’t be built overnight? Shocking.

Infrastructure projects take a long time, partly because of all the environmental impact studies required.

Check out the Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor, which will go a few hundred miles from DC to Charlotte, mainly on existing right of way:

10 years of planning studies!

“The pipeline exists only on paper. The first section has yet to be laid, federal approvals are years away and the pipeline will not be completed for at least a decade. In fact, although it is the centerpiece of Ms. Palin’s relatively brief record as governor, the pipeline might never be built, and under a worst-case scenario, the state could lose up to $500 million it committed to defray regulatory and other costs.”

coulda, woulda, can’t, won’t, never, worst-case, lose... the Times has a point, if she HADN’T of gotten into this, the pipeline will magically build itself and start producing long before the ten year wait for it EVEN TO BE COMPLETED(!) they mention...

What on earth are these idiots writing about, here? Do they imagine one just clicks their heels together three times and the thing gets built? Is the normal process of putting a thing like this together any reason not to build it?

They imagine us fools, or write only what the fools that are their readership want to read.
