HEY PALIN....How do you sleep at night?

Struggling against the waves, this polar bear faces almost certain death after becoming lost at sea in the Arctic.

It is one of a group of nine to have plunged into the ocean after the ice float they lived on melted.

The bears were spotted miles from their normal hunting ground by U.S. government oil survey scientists flying over Alaska's Chukchi Sea.

They said the creatures' homing instinct has sent them north towards the edge of the polar cap instead of 60 miles south towards the nearest land.

However, because of global warming, the ice cap has melted so much that it is around 400 miles away - too far for the bears to reach.

Although one group of polar bears is known to have swum 100 miles, they arrived at their destination exhausted, with several drowning along the way.

1. As far as I'm concerned
this is one of the greatest strikes against her! I cannot fathom how she and others like her can simply assign these creatures to extinction :grr:

5. I agree. I think it speaks volumes about who she is.
And that is no one I'd like to know, let alone anyone that should be Vice President. We've had 8 years of people like this, we need something else.

2. She must be completely heartless

Earlier today I saw the WWF ad with Sharon Lawrence, who played the wife of Andy Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) on NYPD Blue, and at first I thought it might be a democratic ad about Palin's lawsuit and the polar bears (until I paid some more attention). WHO DOESN'T LIKE POLAR BEARS? My kids are in utter disbelief that anyone could be as heartless as to want to watch them die and do nothing and hunt wolves and bears out of helicopters.

3. She's the female Dick Cheney.
Completely void of soul, heart, morals or conscience.

4. I bet she's clubbed a few seals, too

and I wouldn't be surprised if her Eskimo husband supports whale hunting.
