OMG, this woman is smart. This is an end run of the media to in part explain to the “unwashed masses” how the environment and oil/gas exploration can coexist while putting the size of Anwar in context relative to the rest of the state.

And it's not the pile of dirt and ice people wanted to dismiss her for governing!

Finally someone gets it without all the fawning and slobbering over Palin; and this is most likely a two part strategy:

1) She's going to use this Alaska documentary to supplement parts of her book, specifically oil and gas resource development and delivery with effectively zero impact on the environment. This should help sell to the unwashed, the concept of domestic energy independence.

2) Take the revenues from the documentary to fund Conservatives' campaigns, possibly including her own if she decides to run for public office.

If I'm right, it's a very clever plan.
