Let's take a trip in the "Way Back Machine" and remind ourselves what the so-called "energy expert" Sarah Palin knows about energy. Here is a hint, not a damn thing.



That is how the Grizzled Mama responds to off the cuff to questions about energy, and let's face it, pretty much anything else.

She may be fooling the low hanging fruit by having ghostwriters piece together articles for the Washington Post or Fox News that she can then put her paw print on and claim as hers, or by twittering links to articles written by those who know how to use things like "verbs" and "nouns," but those of us who live in Alaska know that Sarah Palin is still that simpleton throwing out unrelated words on a stage in an attempt to confuse the questioner.

She has learned NOTHING, except how to hide her incredible stupidity more carefully.  And you can still see that stupidity on display when she is forced to make a guest appearance with Bill O'Reilly and he refuses to throw her softball questions like Palin pantie sniffer Sean Hannity or Greta van Damn-it's-hard-to-be-Palin's-friend.

You know in Alaska we have an odd tradition of taking moose nuggets (moose poop for the uninitiated among you), shellacking them, and selling them as novelty items, or even jewelry, to the tourists.


(Thought I was kidding, didn't you?)

However, no matter how you shine them up, they are STILL packed with mooseshit.

And so is Sarah Palin.

    It's mind boggling to consider that, soon after the elections, Palin publicly volunteered herself for Energy Secretary.

    She's still smarting from the rejection! From being ignored, actually, which is much worse.

    Ha. McCain looked like he needed a Depend every single time that woman opened her mouth to say anything other than her prepared, stump speeches. So funny.

  4. WTF? I could not make heads nor tails of what she was trying to say. I am beginning to think this may be a way to gauge if you are insane or not. If you understand what she is saying I would suggest seeking help. Possible heavy medication!

    When it comes to Sarah, the shine is off the nuggets, if you know what I mean.

    Hilarious post! Have you ever considered comedy as a calling, Gryphen?

    If Sarah does eventually decide to throw her hat into the ring as a GOP presidential candidate, well, her opposition have a gold mine of incriminating video clips, ghost written-books and facebook & twitter posts from which to choose as concrete proof of her lack of intellect.

    I've got a cousin in Maine who sells moose nuggets too. Must be a cold climate thing. (My cousin's a PhD physicist though, so he knows a thing or two about energy starting with the definition.)

  9. "She has learned NOTHING, except how to hide her incredible stupidity more carefully."

    Oh dear, she has gotten a little better at the fakery, hasn't she? I hope it's not fooling anyone beyond the fools who support her. I keep waiting for the critical Republicans to stop saying she 'can't win' and just spit out the truth that she's 'too stupid to govern'. She's proven that she CAN'T learn...not beyond memorizing some talking points, refrigerator magnets, and billboards. And she can't comprehend what she memorizes.

    I do love McCain's smile and nod of approval when she finishes. He must have been so proud of her for using those impressive technical words 'fungible' and 'molecules' and getting in the sexy 'hungry, hungry markets' line.

    O/T My soap has been interrupted to watch Boehner ball like a baby once again before he was actually sworn in. He was crying before Pelosi finished his introduction.

    Time for the double standard to stop and pounce of the fucking whimp. Just think what the crybabies would have done to Pelosi if she had cried 1/10th of what Boner has done.

    John McCain should be reminded, regularly, that this is the woman he told us knew "more about energy than any other person in America."

    The question was how she would keep oil from new domestic drilling in the U.S. market.

    "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 [...]. 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."
    — Sarah Palin

    LOL right? yet, at VP debate she wanted to got there.

    'When asked whether it’s true that she and McCain oppose giving bankruptcy judges the power to adjust mortgages:'

    "That is not so, but because that's just a quick answer, I want to talk about, again, my record on energy versus your ticket's energy ticket, also."

    Sarah has been and always will be a poser. How she thought she could put on a facade convincing enough to fool enough Americans into voting for her for a national office is beyond me. She ended up with greater fame and money as a result, though no amount of that will make her any happier. In fact, that is the sad reality of narcissism: it is unquenchable. Every demon she has ever encountered has simply been created by herself. Sarah has no real enemies except for those she fabricates in her own mind. What a sad existence really. She will be recorded in our history as a compelling case study for social disease and a perfect illustration that things are often far from what they seem.

    Who else would know that '...'they' don't flag molecules where they may or may not be going...'?
    Well? NOBODY. Not even those so-called experts, I call them lame-stream experts, would know about that!

    It would be great to see someone chronicle the number of times he cries and the situation in which he does.
    Nancy would never have survived in politics if she cried at the drop of a hat.

    And yes, Quittypants' shine is wearing thin with many people. Her handlers are busy trying to polish her up for a run at the Presidency. HA!
    I can hardly wait for the repugs to show the videos of her agreeing with climate change, end of life counseling, etc.

  18. Anon @8:25--this is why I have to come here every day, to be reminded of every ridiculous moment of the WGE Charade. I did not remember, maybe didn't even know, that she had "volunteered" to be Energy Secretary. She really does think national government is no more complicated than the PTA.

    The majority of us in Alaska know what an idiot Palin is - remember, she was the 'worst governor ever' during her very short time in office. People in the lower 48 (and, even in Alaska for that matter!)need to ask her questions when she makes her statements on energy, Alaska government, U.S. government, the current wars, health insurance, death panels, etc.

    I still can't understand how she earned the lable "energy expert" --for what?? sleeping with someone who worked in the oilfield? Sitting on a state board for several months?

    I served on a board for local museum & art gallery for over 10 yrs -- but it doesn't make me a historian.

    I also clicked on some older Young Turk videos of QuitterQueen -- no way she can run far enough or hide long enough for them not to come back & haunt her in a campaign

    McCain made all kinds of claims about Palin to get her elected but it didn't work. Energy expert, CEO, conservative, patriotic, great American are just a few of what McCain said about her and had her trying to give foreign policy speeches and meeting foreign leaders in photo-ops and none of it worked.

    Everybody except some lame-brain folks could see the handwriting on the wall and see that the Quitter was not qualified.

    She and her hired guns can keep on putting her on a pedestal but she will never win because she is ignorant and as mean as a striped snake. No one will ever accept her and that family because of their actions and cover-ups.

    Ignorant people giving her money so she can hire others to try to silence the truth about her and those girls in order for them to live as millionaires. She is using your donations to make her family wealthy and you are getting screwed big time for every dollar you give this creature.

    Get a life and quit kissing this shyster quitter.

    It still boggles my mind that the MSM accepts the meme that she is an energy expert just McGramps said so. On last Sunday's "Chris Matthews Show" Gloria Borger said that she wished $P would study up on some domestic issues, other than energy. She knows nothing about energy or any other domestic issue and isn't going to spend one minute studying anything. She's a fraud and a con artist, nothing more.

    Everyone should remember that lived in Alaska when Palin was governor that she was very popular. Us Democrats loved her because she avoided the social issues and seemed to bow to the Dems in the legislature. She only became unpopular when McCain picked her as VP. McCain was a ignorant desperate old man that made a big mistake and still won't admit it.

    But according to Sarah oil is fungible or something. I still remember her saying that in the debate and wondering when she suffered the head injury that led to such BS statements.

    6:11, Palin bought her popularity with the oil tax booty she mailed to all Alaskans.

    She became unpopular when people saw how much she enjoyed the nastiness of her RNC debut speech and when her on the road campaign tour revealed her to be a filthy hateful racist.

    Simple as that.

    Your welcome Gryphen, it placates me that though you ignore my emails, you read my comments - anonymous though they may be. . .

    This snippet of WGE's attempt to show off her energy expertise is one of the classics in my carefully archived collection of Sarah's incompetence and hypocrisy. Going through it to respond to some of your posts is both humorous and horrifying when we look back at 2008 and what she's passed off as progressin her credentials since. In my case, her appalling lack of governing skills when it came to a myriad of issues outside her ploys to get the national party's attention.

    Even if she doesn't announce her intentions for running for office, we must keep on her. She's still toxic to national discourse, even if she remains an untalented grifter, she does influence some things - even little things too much.
