….your ass can’t cash.  Sarah, you would never debate Al Gore in anything unless he was hogtied naked in a cage with a ball gag in his mouth.  Yet, you spew this over the airwaves:

INGRAHAM: Would you agree to a debate with Al Gore on this issue?

PALIN: Oh my goodness. You know, it depends on what the venue would be, what the forum. Because Laura, as you know, if it would be some kind of conventional, traditional debate with his friends setting it up or being the commentators I’ll get clobbered because, you know, they don’t want to listen to the facts. They don’t want to listen to some reasonable voices in this. And that was proven with the publication of this op-ed, where they kind of got all we-weed up about it and wanted to call me and others deniers of changing weather patterns and climate conditions. Trying to make the issue into something that it is not.

INGRAHAM: But what if it’s an Oxford-style, proper debate format. I mean, he’s going to chicken out. I mean, if you challenge him to a debate, do you actually think he would accept it?

PALIN: I don’t know, I don’t know. Oh, he wouldn’t want to lower himself, I think, to, you know, my level to debate little old Sarah Palin from Wasilla.

And Sarah, no, I doubt that VP Gore would want to lower himself to talk to a known liar whose concept of reality consist only of what comes into her mind in any given moment.  It’s sad, really.  I would love to see someone of reason and learning debate Gore over climate change.  I really would.  It would be fabulous for a great many ideas and concepts to debated rationally in the public arena.  However, a rational debate requires rational actors.  Sarah and most of the current “conservative” movement are not rational, but rather cynical and emotive.  They have no interest in the truth–whatever that may be in the case of climate change–but only winning the debate.
