The Alaskan who made "Drill, Baby, Drill'' a standard term in the modern American political lexicon says the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, potentially the worst ever off-shore from American coastlines, is no cause for giving up on off-shore drilling.

There will be a lot of hearings "to discover the cause of the explosion and the subsequent leak,'' Palin writes ,and action will be taken "to increase oversight to prevent future accidents....

"Government can and must play an appropriate role here,'' she adds. "If a company was lax in its prevention practices, it must be held accountable. It is inexcusable for any oil company to not invest in preventative measures. They must be held accountable or the public will forever distrust the industry...'' (Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahaha)

Yet, she contends, "even with the strictest oversight in the world, accidents still happen. No human endeavor is ever without risk - whether it's sending a man to the moon or extracting the necessary resources to fuel our civilization.

"I repeat the slogan "drill here, drill now" not out of naiveté or disregard for the tragic consequences of oil spills.... I continue to believe in it because increased domestic oil production will make us a more secure, prosperous, and peaceful nation.''

Does this ignorant jackass know the difference between an accident and an environmental and economic catastrophe?
