Rep. Sali (RepubliCONstupid-ID): There ‘Could Be Up To Forty Barrels Of Oil In A Single Tree
Congressman Sali ... :+ ...informed us that a solution to the high price of gasoline was to make petroleum from “all those trees in our forests.” … He continued by saying there “could be up to 40 barrels of oil” in a single tree.

Sali is prone to making outlandish statements. Last summer, he claimed that religious diversity in Congress was not “envisioned by the Founding Fathers.”
