Hebetudinous ADN Can't Admit That Palin Does What They Only Write About

The Anchorage Daily News has an editorial out addressing the future of Alaska's economy and the need for state leaders to plan long-term. I encourage you to read the entire editorial, but I'd like to address one part:

So what's a thoughtful political leader to do?

Spend carefully in tight times, as this year's crop of lawmakers appears to be doing.

Sock away lots of money in flush times, as lawmakers did last year, when oil spiked to $140 a barrel and they put away $5 billion.

Encourage new oil production, as the state is trying to do with generous tax credits.

Promote natural gas development on the North Slope, as the state is trying to do by committing $500 million of matching money to TransCanada's pipeline proposal.

I can't help but notice that, though the ADN offers some credit to lawmakers for doing these things, they didn't mention Gov. Palin. And I believe that she's been involved in all of those efforts. In fact, I think that she's led many of them. In fact, I know that she has.
