More lies....

So both Senator McCain and Governor Sarah "I can see Russia from my house" Palin have been busy touting the Alaska governor as the most knowledgeable person in the United States on energy issues. (John McCain, ABC news interview, 9/11/08). Well turns out a little fact checking by the Washington Post among others has exposed even more lies out of the McCain camp in this area.

Last week, Palin told ABC's Charlie Gibson that her job as Governor of Alaska was to oversee "production of nearly 20 percent of the United States domestic supply of energy." Well the non-partisan group factcheck.org pointed out that the actual percentage of domestic energy is actually an astounding.......3.5%. That's a long way from 20, Governor.

So on Sept 15, while giving another speech, the Hottest VP from the Coolest State revised her claim to "20 percent of the US gas and oil supply." BUZZZZ! Wrong again! Try 7.4 percent, again, a long way from 20 Governor.

So how can the most knowledgeable person in the US on energy issues not even be aware of the the amount of energy produced by her home state? Make up your own minds. I smell a rat. Again.
