The next idiot in the White House?

So much to do and so little time but this one couldn't be missed.

It appears that aside from being a delightful [1] [2] politician, Sarah Palin is also in the pocket of ExxonMobil. Not exactly a novelty for a Republican, I admit.

Apparently, according to Alaska's dear governor, Polar Bears are not an endangered species and climate change isn't man-made.

In May the US department of the interior rejected Palin's objections and listed the bear as a threatened species, saying that two-thirds of the world's polar bears were likely to be extinct by 2050 due to the rapid melting of the sea ice. Palin, governor of Alaska and the Republican nominee for US vice-president, responded last month by suing the federal government, to try to overturn the ruling. The case will be heard in January.
