Nancy Pelosi on drilling: “Can we drill your brains?”

You stay classy, Pioneer Pelosi:

House Democratic leaders and protesters waving McCain signs had a war of words Tuesday at a press event outside an old train station. The demonstrators interrupted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with chants of “Drill here! Drill now!”

Pelosi paused and asked the group, “Right here?”

Seeming to enjoy the back and forth, she followed with another question: “Can we drill your brains?”

She went on to refer to the protesters, who continued to chant sporadically, as “handmaidens of Big Oil.” Arguing that increased offshore drilling would reduce gas prices by only a couple of pennies a decade from now, she referred to the demonstrators as the “2-cents-in-10-years-crowd.”

Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer swiped at the demonstrators, too, saying that “sophomoric chanting” won’t solve the energy crisis and that “all thinking Americans know” — stressing the word “thinking” and looking at the crowd — that America doesn’t have a quarter of the word’s fossil fuels yet uses a quarter of the world’s energy.

When you don’t have anything intelligent to add, what do you do? Name call and use insults, the preferred tactics of liberals everywhere!

    Well, this kinda stuff won’t rile up the opposition. No, not a chance. ;)

    Sheesh, is it any wonder why Congress has such a low approval rating? If anything, with an idiot like Pelosi at the wheel, it’s a wonder things aren’t even worse.

    Handmaidens of big oil? Maybe, maybe not. Given that our oil companies are publicly held copanies and that millions of Americans are stockholders in these companies via pension plans, IRA accounts and personal investments, I guess she has a point. We are all big oil. When our oil companies make profits, so do we. We are not handmaidens of big oil, we are big oil. And, we are voters.

    Best regards,

    Nancy Pelosi is a completely retarded Chimpanzee on crack, only not as pretty.
