Oy Vey

Below is Sarah Palin's response to a town hall question over the weekend about keeping any new domestic oil supplies in the U.S.

Oil and coal? 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.

What does that even mean? Fungible? I thought that was something that grew in your laundry basket. Flagging the molecules? Is that some sort of Alaskan version of football? I am so confused. Apparently that means I am qualified to be VP.

Careful What You Say

The media today seems to be paying some attention to Jesse Jackson's supposed "gaffe" on Fox News earlier in the week. In case you missed it, Jackson whispered to UnitedHealth Group executive Dr. Reed V. Tuckson Sunday morning, thinking that his mic was off (presumably), "See, Barack's been talking down to black people ... I want to cut his nuts off."  

The former civil rights leader seems determined to flush any legitimacy he has remaining down the tubes. What is with him and Al Sharpton? Are they both such media whores now that they don't care what kind of attention they are getting as long as someone, ANYONE is listening to them? They both seem to crawl out of the woodwork at the most inopportune times and do whatever they can to diminish other African Americans in the spotlight.

Meanwhile, the GOP side is having its own diarrhea of the mouth. Yet the media isn't really saying much about this. Does McCain have naked pictures of Wolf Blitzer in some sexual act with Sean Hannity??? Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, "Maybe that's a way of killing them."

Well nice one Mac. Right up there with your Beach Boys rendition of Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran. You really are a kind and gentle-hearted soul.
