An astonishingly excellent soundbite from Thomas Friedman -- yes, *that* Thomas Friedman -- from today's (9/7) Meet the Press, via Think Progress:
FRIEDMAN: I’m actually not against drilling. What I’m against is making that the center of our focus because we are on the eve of a new revolution, the energy technology revolution. It would be, Tom, as if on the eve of the IT revolution, the revolution of PCs and the internet, someone was up there standing and demanding, “IBM Selectric typewriters, IBM Selectric typewriters.” That’s what “drill, drill, drill” is the equivalent of today.
Obama/Biden have a good opportunity to leverage this catchy line, in attacking the McCain campaign's old, "fossil fools" way of thinking in targeting Sarah Palin, a "drill, drill, drill!!" fossil fuels advocate, as his energy independence chief.
