Sometimes you wonder if things actually happened. For example, did Sarah Palin actually say, “Drill, baby, drill?” Yes. She did. So did many other republicans. You can’t be pro environment and pro drilling. When the Horizon sank, supposedly one of the most advanced exploratory ships in the world, republicans shut up. It always seems to take a national disaster to fuel both outrage and and sympathy. We’ll see in the next few weeks how they’ll spin this story — perhaps they’ll say we need “safer” drilling techniques, or we’ll need to start drilling farther from the coast. Whatever the right-wing says, Americans won’t be fooled.
There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.
- President George W. Bush
