What do Sarah Palin and the Obama admin have in common?

Common ground has been found:

May 8, 2009, Juneau, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin was pleased to learn that U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has decided not to change the existing Section 4(d) rule regulations concerning the protection of polar bears under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

This decision will provide for continued monitoring and strong protections for polar bears under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and international treaties. This means that subsistence activities and oil and gas development on the North Slope will not be subject to the consultation requirements of the ESA. Governor Palin and the Alaska congressional delegation argued strongly for retention of the polar bear rule.

The Department of the Interior also announced the continuation of a policy disallowing a link between climate change and decisions made under the ESA. The governor has argued against such a linkage as an inappropriate use of the act.

“This is a clear victory for Alaska,” Governor Palin said. “We all want to preserve and protect the polar bear using the best possible tools, but there is absolutely no need to change the 4(d) rule to accomplish this purpose. I want to thank Secretary Salazar for his careful review of the science and the administrative record that led to this decision.”

Needless to say, the greenies aren’t happy.

Jim Geraghty quips:

Attention Mainstream Media: Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has decided to keep the Obama administration’s position on polar bears in line with that of Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Please calibrate your demonization campaigns accordingly.

Heheh

Nah, that won’t stop them. Carrie Prejean has the exact same position on marriage as the Dalai Bama himself, but it hasn’t stopped the campaign to destroy her.

The MSM would attack Palin even if Obama’s teleprompter suddenly had him lowering taxes, strengthening the military, supporting the Second Amendment, drilling in ANWR, and turning pro-life.

Here’s another one – they both got what they didn’t deserve.

Yeh, GWR, but he’d lose all the MSM’s support if he ever, ever suggested that maybe, just maybe, one chance out of a couple of trillion (like the chances of his budget working) that global warming is just possibly part of a natural cycle that mankind has neither any effect on nor any way to amend. MMGW is that important to the MSM because it’s the one thing they can always use to plant fear in the populace and sell their worthless rags with.
