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?
Is she trying to be funny? It ain't workin'.
Seeming to enjoy the back and forth, she followed with another question: Can we drill your brains?
Another good one.
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.
She's really too ignorant to be allowed out by herself.
Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer swiped at the demonstrators, too, saying that sophomoric chanting wont solve the energy crisis and that all thinking Americans know stressing the word "thinking" and looking at the crowd that America doesnt have a quarter of the words fossil fuels yet uses a quarter of the worlds energy.
Another bugwit chimes in. Hey, Steny, the Democrats policy of no new refineries, no new oil fields, and no new nuclear plants won't solve the energy crisis either. Most "thinking" americans, something like 73%, want to get off foreign oil and the quickest way to do that is open up domestic areas for drilling.
