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!
On a tip from Robert Bluey
Jarrod says: Well, if she drills for brains she’ll actually have some at that point so that’s a positive.
Yeah.
I know the “don’t drill anywhere, anytime” crowd will say that this is another handmaiden speaking. But this is a good article on the subject:

It’s just a little more comprehensive than Nancy’s party line sound bite.
” [Democrat] Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer swiped at the demonstrators, too, saying that “sophomoric chanting” won’t solve the energy crisis…”
Huh. Sophomoric chanting doesn’t solve anything, you say?
Hmmm. Huh. Is that so?
Gonna have to keep that one in mind. Hope the Senator does as well.
