Pelosi to protesters: "Can we drill your brains?"
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 protestors, who continued to chant sporadically, as “handmaidens of Big Oil.” Arguing that increased offshore drilling would only reduce gas prices two cents in 10 years, she referred to the demonstrators as the “two-cents-in-ten-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.
Bitch
pull it...
Democrats accusing McCain supporters of “sophomoric chanting”; that’s a laugh. Especially given that sophomoric chanting and flippant sound bites are the basis of Democratic Party rhetoric.
<3 Nancy, zhe meks mei veel smrtr.
This dingbat doesn’t seem to understand that this crowd represents well over 60% of the population, which far exceeds her 10% approval rating.
what is the latest Congressional approval rating? I hear everywhere from 9-16% lately.
Hoyer, I'd like to introduce you to the "Recreate 68" gang. Kids, this is Majority leader Hoyer. Please. Sit. Talk.
“Can we drill your brains?”
At least the protesters have brains. More than you can say for the airhead Nancy.
She is the dumbest person in the Congress. Biden is the dumbest man in the Senate and Boxer is the dumbest woman.
“Can we drill your brains?”
‘No, thanks, but we like what we see...who does your face, Nancy’?
Is that on tape?
Damn that would make a good commercial
Can you imagine if Gingrich had tried something so childish with lefty protesters? The media would have crucified him for it.
Ping!!!
I’d say a 4 inch bit did the job..chin on ears..
Nancy, Master from “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome” wants to harvest your brains to power Bartertown.
It’s all good...
And all that money we’ve spent on ‘alternative energy’ since the 1970’s has had NO results. I hate pouring money down a rat hole.
Cheap energy promotes individual prosperity.
This from a woman who insisted that natural gas was not a fossil fuel, no matter how many times Tom Brokaw gave her a chance to correct it.
