How is Sarah Palin continually touted by the McCain campaign (and in the press, for that matter) as being an “expert” in energy? I mean, has she even completed a relevant online course from the University of Phoenix? Attended a symposium?

From what I can gather (~20 seconds of the Google search engine), her main qualifications are:

a) Her husband worked as an oil field production supervisor.
b) She wants to open up Alaska and drill it.

That’s like claiming I’m a gynecologist because I want to explore vagina and my brother is the doorman at a strip club.
