Huh?

ANDREW SULLIVAN

Palin strikes again:

"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,” Palin said. “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," - Sarah Palin, Energy Expert and University of Idaho graduate in sports journalism.

Hilzoy, mercifully, unpacks it. Hard not to wince at the grammar and the logic. Remember this is allegedly her sole area of expertise and she's barely above high school level.
