Climate activists replace Iran president with Palin in ads - The Hill's E2-Wire

Sarah Palin is replacing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the face of a media campaign pushing the Senate to enact sweeping climate change legislation.

The former Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is part of a three-stage advertising campaign sponsored by the American Values Network that seek to sway momentum inside the beltway. Palin's face, along with the "drill baby drill" mantra and an image of an oil-soaked bird, will be used on bus advertisements within the Beltway as well as in an online campaign. “It’s time for a smarter approach,” the banner proclaims, calling for support of clean energy and climate policies.
