PALIN WITHOUT A PROMPTER….PART 7….Have I used up my quota of two Sarah Palin references today? No? Then check out this phenomenal answer she offered up at a townhall meeting today about — well, I’m not sure what it’s about. But it’s energy related in some way:

“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.”

Be sure to click on the video to see the whole thing. It’s priceless watching Wolf Blitzer tactfully admit that it’s “not exactly easy to understand what she was saying” before he tries to tease out the “nuggets” in her answer. You almost feel sorry for him.
