Does Palin Even Know Where She Is Most Of The Time?

Not to suggest that Sarah Palin is "dumb", but it seems that she has taken to her speech-coaching a little too well. She can recite the lines at the drop of a hat. She has the ability to recall talking-points at lightning speed. Her political-Pavlovian response is quite a sight to behold.

One of the aspects of an entertainer - which is all Palin is, really - is the ability to "work the crowd" no matter where they are. Seems she hasn't learned that part yet.

"We not only provide wealth to the sponsors of terror, we provide high-value targets to the terrorists themselves," Palin said. "Across the world are pipelines, refineries, transit routes and terminals for the oil we rely on. And al-Qaida terrorists know where they are."

Palin spoke after touring Xunlight Corp., one of a handful of solar technology startup companies in Toledo, a struggling industrial city in this swing state. The city's leaders are hoping that the solar companies will create jobs to replace some of those lost by downsizing in the auto industry.





But Palin made only a passing reference to solar power in her speech and instead renewed her call for more drilling in U.S. coastal waters. She repeated her signature anthem, "drill, baby, drill," which seemed to fall a bit flat on the audience at the plant even as it's become a popular chant at her rallies.

That's right. She told a group of people who are doing their part to create jobs and are actually doing more than talking that it's important to "drill". Nevermind that these companies have nothing to do with oil, the woman has a script to stick to.

Next up, watch for Sarah Palin to visit an Indian reservation and tell them how greatful they should feel on Thanksgiving.
