Admittedly, I do. There is a certain entertainment value - both in Palin's utterances and in watching those who still white-knight for her. It's mostly schadenfreude and I'm not proud of it. But I am entertained.

And guess what? She's correct. She's calling Fisker Automotive a loser (as it is, now that they have laid off 75% of their work force). And she's attacking the President's decision to fund boondoggles like Fisker, Solyndra and a multitude of other PC "green" companies that have gone TU...taking hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars down with them.

She's also right about Tesla. There have been several road tests done by journalist, testing Tesla's claims about the cars range. It failed miserably every time, and Musk has thrown temper tantrums each time the newspapers (including the NYT) published the results of those tests.

I've seen a few programs on alternative car companies that featured Musk and Tesla. From those documentaries, it was pretty obvious that the man was over his head. Not that he isn't smart enough, but he doesn't have the experience running a business as complex as an auto company, and didn't hire people with relevant experience.

I guess she hasn't learned that Mr Musk builds spaceships the rockets to put them in space and he has the means to send humans into space as soon as he finds some guts in NASA to let him do so. Just think how much better it would be if he makes a sucessful electric car and we can do something about the big sucking sound of Big Oil has it Hoovers out our wallets and bank accounts.

So - you've abandoned the

interpretation? She is in fact calling Elon Musk out as one of "the left's losers"? Glad we're in agreement.

The company is repaying its loans twice as fast as planned. If that's losing, we could do with more of it.
