(The Politico) 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.
Never mind for a moment how stupid this is, I love how libs just make up figures and expect us to believe it. Doyle tells us tens of thousands will be disenfranchised with voter ID, Barrett tells us millions will be generated with his choo choo train, and Pelosi tells us gas will be reduced by 2¢ in 10 years with domestic drilling. Never are these people pressed on their figures. Instead, it becomes part of the taking points. Rattled off as though it's gospel.
But, "can we drill your brains?". Why? Is she looking for one?
