Let’s get right to it: Nancy Pelosi has made our list today. Here are the details…
According to Politico.com, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was interrupted by protesters who began chanting ‘Drill Here! Drill Now!’ during a press event at which she was speaking. Speaker Pelosi, rightfully annoyed but distastefully responded with ‘Right here?’.
I understand her being annoyed, so I would be willing to give this first response a pass as an expression of her frustration. However, the Speaker of the People decided to go one further and let loose with a vitriolic ‘Can we drill your brains?’.
Wow. What an Arrogant and Jerky thing to say. This from a person who should be considering everyone’s opinion as the Democrat Speaker of the House. The voice of the people; right.
Pelosi unfortunately revealed herself yet again as an extremely partisan entity with little or no concern for the people and opinions for which she claims to speak. If it is not on her side of the isle, why bother? I am sure she meant every bit of her apparent disdain for these protesters. How dare they express their opinion.
Pelosi has let her Arrogance go to her head. It is clearly clouding her judgment, and obviously puts her above The People.
I don’t disagree with her assessment of drilling. The old harp of ‘No blood for Oil‘ seems to have given away to ‘Drill here and save the country from evil’. Neither case is reasonable; a quick study of the issues reveals that the blood for oil idea was born of so many conspiracy theorists, and the drill here campaign is based on removing our dependence on evil oil producers from which we get around one percent of our nation’s oil (that’s right; we get most of it from Canada and other friendly countries).
So Nancy doesn’t get our tap for her stance on the oil issue, but rather her apparent disdain for people who just want a voice in the halls of our nation’s capital. I would expect more reasonable dialogue from such a position of authority, not an Arrogant and belittling response; no matter how silly the issue.
