An interesting thing happened late last week, and I haven't heard anyone really raise it in the media.
Early on in the week, Sarah Palin told Charlie Gibson that Alaska was responsible for 20 percent of domestic energy supply.
On Sept 11, in what can only be described as a bizarre interview, Senator McCain said a top qualification of Sarah Palin has on National Security is "energy," and that she knew maybe more than anyone in America on it. He repeated what it seems like Palin told him - Alaska was responsible for 20 percent of domestic energy.
A day later, FactCheck put out the word - Alaska isn't even CLOSE to being responsible for 20 percent of domestic energy. In other words, Palin was pulling a number out of her ass.
