Sarah Palin destroys myth that she is an "energy expert" and wishes the most painful punishment imaginable for Roger Ailes.

Today Palin gave an interview to Andrew Breitbart's rapidly deteriorating website Big Government.

I am not going to go line by line because essentially it is the same old crap on a new cracker.

However there was a question that Palin answered SO incorrectly that it should remove ANY doubt in rational people's minds that she does not know her skinny ass from a hole in the ground, when it comes to oil production and its effect on gas prices in America.

BNN: "Obama claims that his domestic energy policies do not affect prices at the pump because oil is bought and sold on the world market, which determines the prices. True?"

Gov (Half term quitter) Palin: " False. Totally false. What determines the price of oil is “supply and demand.” If you increase the supply, you will see downward pressure on the prices at the pump, just as we’ve seen with natural gas. We know from past evidence that even the news of more areas being opened for future drilling has an immediate effect on the price of oil as the markets respond to the news of a future surplus."

No THAT is completely and demonstrably false. And it illustrates perfectly why Palin is the LAST person on the planet that anybody should go to for information concerning energy policies in this country.

Here is the truth from the Detroit Free Press:  

A statistical analysis of 36 years of monthly, inflation-adjusted gasoline prices and U.S. domestic oil production by the Associated Press shows no statistical correlation between how much oil comes out of U.S. wells and the price at the pump. 

Political rhetoric about the blame over gas prices and the power to change them -- whether Republican claims now or Democrats' charges four years ago -- is not supported by cold, hard figures. And that's especially true about oil drilling in the U.S. More oil production in the U.S. does not mean consistently lower prices at the pump. 

Sometimes prices increase as American drilling ramps up. That's what has happened in the past three years. Since February 2009, U.S. oil production has increased 15% when seasonally adjusted. Prices in those three years went from $2.07 per gallon to $3.58. It was a case of drilling more and paying much more.

This not a case of there being a difference of opinion between the Left and the Right in this country, this is a case of one side getting their information from research and statistics, and the other getting their information from ideological morons who are funded by people like the Koch brothers to purposefully spread misinformation.

Later in the same interview Palin was  asked about these remarks made yesterday by the President of Fox News Roger Ailes:

During the Q&A with two student journalists following his remarks, Ailes took on Gingrich head on. He said Newt was simply angling for a job at CNN. And he attacked the notion that he had hired any of the GOP politicians to help their political prospects, coming as close as he's ever gotten to confirming my earlier reporting that he believed Palin was "an idiot. "Sarah Palin had no chance to be President," Ailes said. "The one I didn't hire was Romney. I thought he had a chance [to win] ... I hired people I thought would get ratings."

In response Palin suggests that perhaps the worst punishment imaginable should be visited upon Ailes. Forcing him to watch that horribly mythological monstrosity "The Undefeated!"

Interesting. I haven’t heard all of his remarks, but I wonder if he is aware that the same thing was said about me when I ran for city council, mayor, and eventually governor. No doubt many people who are told they can’t do something will work that much harder, and they succeed. Maybe you guys should send him a copy of Steve Bannon’s “The Undefeated.” The theme of Steve’s film isn’t about me, but about the idea of not letting others dictate one’s path in life and never giving up when you’re fighting for something precious like our exceptional nation and our children’s futures. So, would you send a copy of “The Undefeated” to him?

I seriously dislike Roger Ailes, and I would gleefully devour a bucket of buttered popcorn while watching him get waterboarded for hours upon hours, but even I would never condemn the man to sitting through the vomit inducing cinematic beatification of possibly the most ignorant politician to ever be plucked out of the wilds of Wasilla. THAT would just be cruel.

Besides in this case Ailes is obviously correct. Palin had NO shot at the Presidency, and only the MOST brain damaged paint chip eaters in the country could ever imagine that she would.  Which worked out perfectly for Ailes because brain damaged paint chip eaters make up the vast majority of his audience.
