Double Trouble

 Through serious battles with Congress, including anti-wildlife protection bills that earned her the nickname "the killa from Wasilla," Sarah Palin has made her point clear: we humans have the right to exclusively dictate what happens to our environment. However, her stance on accountability may have left something to be desired. In an interview with NewsMax on the subject of global warming, she stated that she's "not one though who would attribute it to being man-made." Maybe if Gov. Palin would have left it there, her stance could be understood.

Today Ms. Palin had an interview with Nightline's Charlie Gibson, in which she admitted that "man's activities certainly 'can be' contributing to the issue of global warming; climate change."

Hey, it's been a hectic two weeks. It must be tough to watch your 17 year old daughter's pregancy gossip play out on national television. And all this talk of a nepotism scandal is certainly not doing wonders for your reputation of a trusted public official. But that is an awfully quick change in opinion. 

Either Sen. McCain has won over his running mate's environmental issue "support" very quickly, or the Republicans just aren't circling the wagons.
