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 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 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.

They'd still be saving a hell of a lot more of our money than Pelosi and the rest of the gang on Capitol Hill.

There are no words.
There are lots of words, they just make no sense when strung together into a sentence!

This might not be the week to put "gun" and "Pelosi" in the same sentence.
Which I just did.
