According to repub Bill Sali, oil apparently does grow on trees. Or grow in trees. Or something not related to rock formations.
Anyway, somehow this repub — whose current claim to fame is in currently flashing his petticoats in the Drill Here Drill Now burlesque — has decided to upend every bit of geology discovered since James Hutton to declare that trees have more than 40 gallons of crude oil. Each.
And this guy is from Idaho — you’d think that he would know better. Just don’t tell him about rubber trees, though. He’ll have us carving up tree stumps Flintstones-style to put on our cars.
Leave your prediction of which of the Delaware local repubs will be first to take up this new bit comedy.
