Sarah Palin (R-AK) is back.
Yes, the former Governor who quit her job in Alaska allegedly because political opponents were hounding her thinks things would be so much better in a national job, like say, Energy Secretary. This is what she told an understandably shell-shocked Jape Tapper on CNNs State of the Union.
Sure, you didnt want her for VP in 2008 when she ran with Senator John McCain (R-AZ), but she feels she would be a great fit for a Trump administrations Department of Energy. You know, before she dismantles the department. (No, Im not making that up.)
First Palin treated us to her belief that God put things on this earth for us to use and abuse with no responsibility, topped off with her belief that the oil we drill here isnt sold on a global market, I think a lot about the Department of Energy, because energy is my baby: oil and gas and minerals, those things that God has dumped on this part of the Earth for mankinds use instead of us relying on unfriendly foreign nations.
Cue Jake Tapper blinking rapidly as he digested Palins bizarrely angry rant about Gods sadness that we arent using enough oil.

I don't think sister Sarah has the qualifications, unless it is in a Trump administration, that is.
We know where this goes...

In the same interview she said that people in America should "speak American." Hey Sarah, you're a fucking idiot. Is that "American" enough for you?
