Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will be taking questions online at The Washington Post this afternoon at 3 p.m. as part of her tour promoting her new book, Know Your Power, A Message to America's Daughters.

Washington Post page to submit questions and follow discussion.

The questions are screened by The Post's moderator and those that are forwarded to Pelosi can be passed over by her in private.

The Post blurb says that in addition to the book she'll be talking about "the current political scene."

Have fun, but keep it clean, please.

“I want to know if she plans on suing the Botox manufacturers for the brain damage incurred...”

Botox can’t damage something she never had.

[kristinn]

It just started. First Q was a softball.

[brityank]

OK; it’s active now. All softballs.

[2CAVTrooper]

“And what do she suggest refilling the SPR with?”

IOU’s?

[TigersEye]

Smart and cowardly all at the same time. But Rush will be back in just 20.7 hours.

[kristinn]

Second Q is a softball right over the plate!

[YLLady]

My questions, which I’m sure won’t be asked:

Is the American taxpayer paying for your book tour? Who’s paying for the gasoline? Have you suspended your pay as an employee of the people?

[tobyhill]

I see. Lord help our country.

[2CAVTrooper]

“Hmmmm, what also happens at 3:00pm EST. That’s right, Rush goes off the airwaves. San Fran Nan is a coward.”

I’m sure Rush will bring this up tomorrow.

[brityank]

Two questions in 15 minutes — pitiful. Out of there!

[yantis]

these questions & answers really need a barf alert

Now three questions. All softball barfs.

Dear madame speaker, thank you for your brave efforts to save the planet.

Would you consider a ban on all domestic oil production? You have to save all of America not just the continental shelf.

Thank you for shutting down the freedom of republican speech.

Too much sugar on the kool aide??? I wonder if she'll bite?

Madame Speaker: Hope your vacation is going well as mine was canceled due to high gas prices. How does your book and life demonstrate the leadership qualities needed to be Speaker of the House? Especially as your actions seem in direct conflict and partisanship with the rest of the People's House.

PS. A tire gauge is not and energy plan. That is called conservation which most Americans have already been doing their best to conserve, we are now looking for the rest of the plan to move our country forward both now and for the future.

[SE Mom]

Good grief- these questions are absurd. The Washington Post is absurd.

AARRAAGGGHHHH!!!

[kristinn]

My lunch is fighting to come back up. Fourth Q is ‘draft Pelosi for VP’.

[Tennessee Nana]

Speaker Pelosi,

Will you call Congress back to DC to work on the energy crisis until it is fixed ????

[Tennessee Nana]

Where did you read that ???

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Her book has plummeted to #1,678 on Amazon. This is probably the only book tour in history that has served to DEPRESS book sales.
