But the best part is still her almost total lack of knowledge of how the government works:
Palin was asked on CNN what position she would like to have in Trump’s administration. Without missing a beat, Palin said she’d want to head the Department of Energy — but only so she could eventually get rid of it.
“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 mankind’s use,” she said. “If I were head of that, I’d get rid of it.”Palin also said that, as energy secretary, she would give individual states more control over oil and gas development within their borders.
However, the Department of Energy does not regulate oil and gas development — that responsibility goes to the Department of the Interior. The Department of Energy mainly oversees U.S. nuclear programs and conducts energy research. The current Energy Secretary, Ernest Moniz, is a nuclear physicist.

One thing's for sure, Sarah Palin's no nuclear scientist.
