The Facebook never winks

America’s favorite ditzy snowbilly  returns fire at Vice President Joe Biden after Biden mouthrapes her in New York:

“Sarah Palin thinks the answer to energy is ‘Drill, baby, drill,’ ” Biden said at a rally this afternoon. Then he leaned in to the microphone: “It’s a lot more complicated, Sarah.”

Oh, no he dit’int!   Oh, no he dit–int!

Cry Trig!, and let slip the Facebook of Snotty Sarah:

Palin responded to the vice president’s comments via — of course — her Facebook page, blasting the Obama administration’s energy policies. “Apparently the Obama-Biden administration only approves of offshore drilling in Brazil, where it will provide security and jobs for Brazilians. This election is about American security and American jobs,” Palin writes.

Neener. Neener.

If you’re wondering what Sarah is talking about when we she mentions Brazilians (and it’s not one of her handy Facebook grooming tips for her “lower 48″), back in August Sarah heard that the U.S. Export Import Bank was about to loan Brazil $2 billion for offshore drilling and she was all, “Hey! That $2 billion should go to real Americans and not to  Mexico-But-With-Nice-Asses.” Unsurprisingly, Low-Information Palin was wrong:

Palin complained that “the Obama White House is prepared to send more than 2 billion of your hard-earned tax dollars to Brazil so that the nation’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, can drill offshore and create jobs developing its own resources” and that Obama “chooses to use American dollars in Brazil that will help to pay the salaries and benefits for Brazilians to drill for resources when the need and desire is great in America.”

A spokesman for the bank, Phil Cogan, noted to POLITICO that the bank does not rely on tax money and that Palin’s statement ignores the bank’s central function: To lend money to foreign companies for the purchase of American goods and services.

“It has to be produced by U.S. workers,” Cogan said. Palin’s statement refers to “creat[ing] jobs and health benefits in the U.S.”

“That’s exactly what a purchase financed by the U.S. government would do,” Cogan said.

In this case, Cogan said, the proposed loan would likely finance engineering services, sales of ships to service oil platforms, or drilling equipment.

“This is the government doing what it’s supposed to do: Create jobs and make sure that Americans get a fair shot at selling goods and services — not the British or the French or anyone else — and to help American workers compete on a level playing field,” Cogan said, noting that most developed countries have similar credit-export agencies.

Meanwhile JuCo Toynbee thinks that Joe Biden is still a seething mushroom-cloud-layin’ motherfucker since he received that VP debate beatdown from Palin and now … it’s payback, baby!:

This is almost a cathartic release of some long-suppressed anger and frustration for Joseph Biden. Palin’s not on the ballot anywhere tomorrow. Sure, she’s a player, but it’s inescapable that this man is harboring a lot of pain from last year’s whoopin’ in the V.P. debate — indeed, it’s clear Biden’s been nursing a grudge.

Except, you know:

Only 26 percent of those surveyed said that Palin was more intelligent in the debate, compared with 57 percent who chose Biden, according to the poll of 611 adult Americans who tuned in to watch it. The poll had a sampling error of 4 percentage points.

Overall, 51 percent of the debate watchers said that Biden did the best job in the debate, but 36 percent gave the nod to Palin.

It’s probably worth noting the Professor Douglas is a Associate Professor of Political Science, and not an Associate Professor of Math.
