There -- with new technology, with tiny footprints even on land, it is safe to drill and we need to do more of that. "
What happened in the gulf is the responsibility of people who operated on exactly the same assumptions that Palin did. That is the mentality that caused us to be where we are now. This is the point at which Ms. Palin should be saying, "Ya know, doggone it, we were wrong when we said that drilling in the gulf was safe, you betcha."

It's hard to believe that the first major Republican politician and first Republican President was Abraham Lincoln, a man noted for his honesty and his brilliance. Today's Republicans, like Sarah Palin, do not resemble him at all.
