In 2008, Sarah Palin was hailed as the world's top energy expert. She promised a trans-Canada natural gas pipeline from Alaska, to the energy hungry lower 48. It seems therefore appropriate that the media would ask Sarah Palin a few questions about her field of expertise.
They could ask her what happened to the trans-Canada pipeline. They could ask Sarah Palin why she quit her job rather than completing this project, especially when she claimed that she's to original "no quitter."
They could ask if it might be more economically viable to get methane from landfills. They could ask about the energy potential of miscanthus, or how Moore's Law would apply the development of solar energy.
I could answer these questions, and I'm not an energy expert. I've just read Our Choice by Al Gore. Wouldn't an energy expert like
Sarah Palin be familiar with Al Gore's work? And as an energy expert, why doesn't Sarah Palin accept the most fundamental scientific truth of the 21st century - that global climate change is REAL and that it man-made? Sure, Sarah Palin doesn't have to believe in global warming - and she doesn't have to believe in the law of gravity either. Sarah Palin can believe whatever she wants, but she shouldn't go around telling her Tea Bagger fan club to drive off a cliff - and that in a way is precisely what she is doing.
Why doesn't anyone in the media ask Sarah Palin these questions? The answer is simple. As a rogue, which by definition means a crook, a charlatan or an con-artist, The Queen of the Rogues, Sarah Palin gets to pick and choose the questions she wants to answer, and as rogue, she also gets to pick and choose when she's going to tell the truth.
