Sarah Palin Mocks The California Budget Crisis, After Getting Dissed By Schwarzenegger On Twitter

Gotta say, this sure beats your typical lame-o tweetfight.

Earlier we mentioned how Arnold Schwarzenegger mocked Sarah Palin by saying that he couldn't see Russia while flying over Alaska in a plane.

Sarah Palin responded by hitting Arnold below the belt.

Arnold should have landed; I could have explained our multi-billion dollar state surplus & US energy security efforts. What's he been up to?

1. He should have landed - I'd really like to see her explain anything at all

:)

[Maccagirl]

2. Multi-billion state surplus?

Can someone check THAT claim out please? Call me skepical.

:puke:

24. Highest debt-to-GDP ration in the country

The only thing that keeps Alaska solvent is oil revenue and federal money.

And never mention that Alaska's Permanent Fund is far closer to socialism than pretty much anything else in the country. You get some amazing rationalizations from people that think spending on anything other than bombs and prisons is "Socialism".

3. Was she responsible for the surplus?

I get the feeling that she's taking credit for something she didn't do.

[petronius]

5. Taxes on mineral extraction - you know, those things CA pubbies screamed

would be business-killers?

And yes, not due to any contribution on her part...

[Loudmxr]

18. California doesn't have an oil extraction tax. I think we are alone in that.

It would be nice to get our cut. Because you really can't make the "they'll move away" argument. The wells are there and paid for amortized and in many cases borrowed against. So tax 'em!!!!

Really our schools need the money.

[petronius]

21. That's what I was referring too. It was discussed during the budget crisis,

but the wingers screamed and cried about how "oil is fungible" and how any tax would drive drilling companies away. But those same people rave about the economies of TX and AK like teeny-boppers at a Bieber concert, despite the fact that both of those states rely heavily on severance taxes. AK get something like 75% of the state budget from minerals, and Palin actually raised those taxes. IIRC, TX has a dedicated pipeline of oil taxes straight into the state university system, which strikes me as a very good idea...

It's one of those things that makes it extremely obvious that RW opposition to taxes isn't really about taxes at all, it's a desire to eviscerate social services.

13. Why...it was ALL thanks to Our Lil' Sarah that the oil prices went up!

She took a state helicopter and started aerial commodity trader hunts 'til they raised the price per barrel!


( :sarcasm: as of now...but she'd probably try it...)

[Johonny]

22. If California had the population of Alaska

it probably would have a surplus too. Heck it might actually net money from the Federal government too. Does anyone think comparing Governing Alaska is anything like Governing California? Heck Palin couldn't even hack running Alaska for a full term. So L O L on her.

[Catshrink]

4. Was the surplus there before or after she quit?

[Ken Burch]

14. both.

n/t.

[Danger Mouse]

6. Dupe.

?

[Danger Mouse]

7. At least Arnold didn't quit as governor, Palin.

:eyes:

Honestly, I detest this woman to the point that I will defend a republican from attacks that she makes. How sad is that?

[otohara]

11. In The Vanity Fair Article -

it talk about how she would come in an use buzz words like "balance budget" - but, she didn't have a clue about how to do it.

[tinymontgomery]

29. That is a great line

good thing I'm not a politician because I would tweet that line right back "at least I didn't quite"

[mike r]

8. All buzzwords. Zero intelligence.

Maybe negative intelligence.

[xultar]

9. It took her 2 days to come up with that? She left AK in worse condition than she got it

:grr:

[Raschel]

26. It took her twitter writer two days. She doesn't come up with anything.

Ugh. Cannot stand that dolt.

[ingac70]

10. Alaska receives more in federal tax dollars than it pays in....

meanwhile, CA gets back about 79 cents for every dollar it pays in. The skank from the welfare state needs to STFU.

[crim son]

12. Palin is a pathological liar. n/t

[Trocadero]

15. Sarah, the bitter quitter from twitter:

see link below...

[DinahMoeHum]

16. Wow, she thinks she's being a tough-ass. . .

Psss psss psss psss psss! Psss psss psss psss psss!

[Historic NY]

17. Good thing she could put the arm on oil companies to pay off the citizens...

each year.

[Bitwit1234]

19. Well the republicans, especially Isaa wanted a republican

in charge. He led the campaign to recall Davis. So they got exactly what they wanted. A republican who runs every thing into the ground. We all know how that is..You get a republican, he screws things up to Hades then they have to elect a Democrat to get them out of the mess. PEOPLE NEVER EVER LEARN. Republicans don't know how to govern. All they know how to do is take the money and give it to corporations.

[livetohike]

20. She's so thin skinned....how did she ever survive

becoming a city council member to mayor to Governor? She takes everything so personally. Her mental and emotional immaturity will be a campaign issue if she ever runs for anything again. She's yapped too much on facebook and twitter, so there is a written record of her emotional baggage.

[otohara]

31. She Has No Friends Left In Alaska

in the new Vanity Fair article, everyone who worked for her, or were her friends have all backed away since she became a rich celebrity. People are afraid to bad-mouth her for fear of retaliation

[cleanhippie]

23. I hope he tweets back "Your state has that because you quit and left the governing to the adults."

[Arkana]

25. You're not governor anymore, Sarah. You don't get to brag.

[Raschel]

27. She is one walking internet post. And they're not even written by her.

She is a negative nellie. Hateful and divisive. A red meat flinger.

[mitchum]

28. Sayeth the true Welfare Queen

[theothersnippywshrub]

30. Beware the Jabberwock, Arnold! n/t

[flvegan]

32. That idiot can't "explain" how 2 + 2 = 4.
