Obama Nominates Former Palin Aide To Head Alaska Pipeline Project

By GottaLaff

Barbie McLipSchmutz had a Democratic aide? How'd she let that one slip by her?

President Barack Obama has nominated a former aide of ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to serve as the federal coordinator for the Alaska natural gas pipeline project.

Larry Persily has worked on oil and gas issues for three Alaska governors and the state Legislature, working on both sides of the aisle. A Democrat, he is currently an aide handling oil and gas issues for Republican state Rep. Mike Hawker, co-chairman of the House Finance Committee.

I wonder if he can see the pipeline from his house.
