Vice President Joe Biden took a shot at one time opponent Gov. Sarah Palin today while campaigning for some looter in New York. He was apparently going for laughs when he said Palin’s idea of drilling for oil was simplistic.

“Sarah Palin thinks the answer to energy is ‘Drill, baby, drill,’ ” Biden said at a rally this afternoon. Then he leaned in to the microphone: “It’s a lot more complicated, Sarah.”

I’m still trying to wrap my head around how this is relevant to the NY-23 race. I guess he was trying to rally the base around the new Cheney, the left’s Darth Vader.

And I guess he forgot he was dealing with a pitbull with lipstick. From her Facebook page:

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.”

This nonsensical opposition to American domestic energy development continues to this day. Apparently the Obama-Biden administration only approves of offshore drilling in Brazil, where it will provide security and jobs for Brazilians. This election is about American security and American jobs.

There’s one way to tell Vice President Biden that we’re tired of folks in Washington distorting our message and hampering our nation’s progress: Hoffman, Baby, Hoffman!

Hoffman is now not only leading in the polls, but by double digits. Biden is still irrelevant.
