Yeah, ok, it doesn't use that line specifically, but it does repeat all of Palin's talking points but that.

Interesting, coming from Todd Palin's employer!
(I mean, come on, why else would a foreign oil company run an ad encouraging more drilling in the U.S.?)

1. Of course, you know BP owns Arco/AM PM stores.
They make more on the food, etc, there than on the fuel, but if you want to boycott them, boycott the stores.

I personally dislike Shell and Chevron a bit more.

4. I love QuikTrip.
They're great to their employees, too.

5. And they pay well!
I realize they probably import oil, but at least QuikTrip itself is American-owned.

2. This got lost in all the post-debate discussion - but did anyone else see it?
It was on msnbc during KO.
