I know that this diary is a little anachronistic but nevertheless wanted to vent out my Palin abhorrence and hammer at her till she goes away to Barrow, Alaska
To use Sarah Palin's religiousness, God has really saved America by not letting her be the VP or the Prez. I am amazed at the 30-35% of Americans who think that Sarah Palin is actually President material. I know that W was not Shakespeare but he pales in comparison to Palin.
In India where I come from, especially in School exams you had the option of answer one question or the other. So here is how it goes. You are asked to write an essay on Cow. But all you have prepared is about a Tree. You then say that the Cow is tied around a Tree and start write about the tree.
That is in essence Sarah Palin. You ask her anything, she will tie it down to Energy and how she has been a stalwart in this field.
She thinks that because she is the Guvnor of an Energy rich state, she suddenly is the CEO of Exxon or Shell. In fact she is more like Daniel Day Lewis in There will be blood.
On Sep 17th 2008 she gave this answer when she was asked was asked how she would keep domestically produced oil and coal in the U.S.
"Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first"

Whatever that meant.
McCain also overstated the case just a bit when he said that his running mate "knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America."
To paraphrase Joe Biden, ala Rudy, all she ever says in a sentence is a noun, a verb, energy and plenty of Alsos. Here goes a great example
