Palin Hates Polar Bears, Rove Hates You.

Thanks to my main squeeze Sam who sent me this link that details some of Palin's greatest hits on the environment (she's not a fan of it, apparently). She is perhaps best known for suing the federal government to have the polar bear to be removed from the Endangered Species list so they could be hunted. Fortunately, that bid failed.

The link also includes lovely photos of Palin posing with and wearing animal pelts like this:

Interestingly, this photo used to be on her Wikipedia page. Eagle eyes might have realized Palin was the pick Thursday night because NPR reported that someone was furiously editing her page, removing things that might be considered un-Vice Presidential. Like photos of her wearing dead animals?

Also thanks to my granNE who sent me this link with quotes from Karl Rove. Ironic, eh?

"I think he's going to make an intensely political choice, not a governing choice," Rove said. "He's going to view this through the prism of a candidate, not through the prism of president; that is to say, he's going to pick somebody that he thinks will on the margin help him in a state like Indiana or Missouri or Virginia. He's not going to be thinking big and broad about the responsibilities of president." Rove singled out Virginia governor Tim Kaine, also a Face The Nation guest, as an example of such a pick. "With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he's been a governor for three years, he's been able but undistinguished," Rove said. "I don't think people could really name a big, important thing that he's done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America."
