Yet the two most prominent political champions of offshore drilling -- Sarah Palin and Michael Steele -- appear not to have uttered a word about the incident. Not that either one of them has been completely silent. Sarah Palin has published four new messages on her Facebook page since the initial explosion, including a post on Thursday titled "The Straight-talking 'Hockey Dad' with a Message for Reform" and another defending Rev. Franklin Graham after he was asked not to attend a Pentagon prayer event. Likewise, Michael Steele has issued at least six statements over the past week, including one on a new Republican National Committee web video, "Mr. Obama's Wild Ride." ..... "Drill, baby, drill! And drill now!" Steele memorably chanted at the Republican National Convention in 2008. "Do you want to put your country first? Then let's make decisions about our security based on what keeps us safe and not on what's politically correct," he told the crowd. And during that year's vice presidential debate, Palin told Joe Biden, "You even called drilling -- safe, environmentally-friendly drilling offshore -- as raping the outer continental shelf. There -- with new technology, with tiny footprints even on land, it is safe to drill and we need to do more of that." ..... ]

In Palin's latest she blames a lack of government regulation. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/04/30/palin-weighs-in-on-louisiana-oil-spill/?fbid=V9C4umkp1Mo "She also called for increased government accountability in the oil industry ....." "Increased domestic oil production will make us a more secure, prosperous, and peaceful nation." The people of the Gulf Coast & other nations are now much more secure, prosperous, and peaceful.
