<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Asked about oil’s fungibility, Palin says ... um, something]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by wiscidea http://www.grist.org/article/notable-quotable161/ Thu, 18 Sep 2008 09:06:26 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/notable-quotable161/1 She's killing me.....

"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 that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first."

So... let me get this straight... Palin would not ban exports to the degree that we no longer have energy produced here. That is, if we were to ban exports to a large degree, there wouldn't be enough affordable domestic oil for Americans. So... if we actually encouraged export, there would be MORE oil HERE? And we wouldn't want to ban exports because if we don't export oil it won't first go to our domestic markets? By selling more oil abroad, we see more oil available here?

Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrghghghaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Thank god she was a journalism major instead of an english major because everybody knows that journalists write at an eighth grade level. If she was an English major they'd have to close the school she graduated from.

Of course it will take a PhD in English to parse that statement and tell us what the heck it actually means.

Can anybody round one up for us?

Pangolin,  what a challenge McCain has trying to corral his maverick VP candidate.

She does not know how to wing answers to tough questions and frankly, she cannot survive the debates.

A note to you:  do not end a sentence with a preposition.  It is bad form.
