WATERTOWN, N.Y. — I don’t blog everything that Sarah Palin writes on Facebook, but her responseto Vice President Joe Biden’s jab at her energy policy — made at a Bill Owens rally in Watertown — seems noteworthy. First, there’s the speed with which it went up. Second, there’s the phrase “Hoffman, Baby, Hoffman,” which is a pretty impressive commitment to campaign rhetoric. And third is the sourcing she uses to hit back at Biden:
The vice president’s extreme opposition to domestic energy development goes all the way back to 1973 when he opposed the Alaska pipeline bill. As Ann Coulter pointed out, “Biden cast one of only five votes against the pipeline that has produced more than 15 billion barrels of oil, supplied nearly 20 percent of this nation’s oil, created tens of thousands of jobs, added hundreds of billions of dollars to the U.S. economy and reduced money transfers to the nation’s enemies by about the same amount.”
That quote is from a 2008 Coulter columntitled “BIDEN SECRET SERVICE CODE NAME: ‘ASSASSINATION INSURANCE.’”
