Finally: The Pelosi “Can we drill your brains?” clip
posted at 9:58 pm on August 26, 2008 by Allahpundit
Via Red State. It’s not as I imagined it — no doubt the self-satisfied smirk is there, but the camera’s too far away to see it — but it plays like a scene out of “Old School” or “Animal House” or some other frat comedy, with Pelosi in the role of the hopelessly uptight dean whose dorky antagonism elicits nothing but snickers. If she catches you boys with beer one more time — expelled.
She makes her getaway in a SUV, too. Of course. Of course.

I’ll miss San Fran Nan after she gets tossed if we reflip the house.
sven10077 on August 26, 2008 at 10:00 PM
HAHAHA.
I needed that laugh. this republican party?
lorien1973 on August 26, 2008 at 10:03 PM
If conservatives need a reason to Republican, this woman is it. The only way to get rid of her is to take back the House.
Terrye on August 26, 2008 at 10:04 PM
hey lorien, it’s not like the1 is gonna have ANY coattails — let the guy dream …
Buckaroo on August 26, 2008 at 10:04 PM
If it were Botox we wanted to drill for, she’d be all over it.
Dingbat63 on August 26, 2008 at 10:05 PM
I very much so dislike THAT woman.
JihadKiller1s1k on August 26, 2008 at 10:05 PM
lorien:
Say what you will about this Republican party, they are not nearly as cringe inducing and just plain incompetent as Pelosi and Reid.
Terrye on August 26, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Nice cackle Nanny. Wonderful comeback from the esteemed speaker. She’s quick on the rejoinder. You’d think someone from the birthplace of shout down activism would have more in her quill. The affirmative action Speaker of the House. Wonderful.
Cold Steel on August 26, 2008 at 10:06 PM
LMAO!
Democrats are such hypocrites.

Pelosi and Reid are incompetent, the Democrats need to be removed.
Chakra Hammer on August 26, 2008 at 10:07 PM
sorry did not think you’d take it to mean…’now’.
I had stated earlier tonight that we have a 12-20 year rebuilding to do in the party.
sven10077 on August 26, 2008 at 10:08 PM
I’m putting Pelosi on double secret probation.
My kitty says:
Et tu Brute on August 26, 2008 at 10:11 PM
I know that this is a cheap shot, but is there a Mr. Pelosi? And if there is, how does he manage to wake up every morning lying next to that woman without . . . without her maekup, no less?
eaglescout1998 on August 26, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Ugh!! Sorry for the typo. That should be makeup.
eaglescout1998 on August 26, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Were the democrats against drilling here in the homeland during WW2? Oh I wish they would get rid of the current crop and bring back Harry Truman, FDR Wilson, FDR, JFK and even LBJ. These past democrats would be wanting to drill and persue alternative energies at the same time. Poor Nancy and Harry have no plans or alternatives but to blame big oil and not big gov’t.
garydt on August 26, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Of corse everyone that disagrees with Nancy is evil…or misguided. She is a democrat. Look down your nose and insult someone who doesn’t understand like she does. ugh
Gracelynn on August 26, 2008 at 10:16 PM
I’m all for Drill Here Drill Now but why don’t they STFU and let her speak. I hate when people try to shout down others. FAIL.
alteredbeat on August 26, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Intellectual drilling, really? Are you kidding me? Get a grip lady.
MrsWeebork on August 26, 2008 at 10:21 PM
A little taste of the leftists own medicine. I’m glad to see the shoe on the other foot for a change.
Big John on August 26, 2008 at 10:22 PM
Groovy. Thanks to Nancy, I think we have a new name for the conservative movement, which contrasts nicely with Barry the pothead:
Drill Heads.
Buy Danish on August 26, 2008 at 10:24 PM
Palomino!
p40tiger on August 26, 2008 at 10:26 PM
Smell that? That’s elitism.
SuperCool on August 26, 2008 at 10:26 PM
The kind of ‘intellectual drilling’ Ms. Pelosi has in mind is illustrated in the movie Marathon Man.
silverfox on August 26, 2008 at 10:26 PM
Pelosi and the Dims are nothing short of traitors, locking up our oil and gas reserves to get money and votes from the greenies and the “alternative energy” (sic) tax parasites.
TexasJew on August 26, 2008 at 10:29 PM
Oh geez…by all means Nancy-poo, drill away. Everyone is clearly aware you are desperately in need of a brain.
91Veteran on August 26, 2008 at 10:31 PM
PCU, I would say.
WisCon on August 26, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Pelosi and Obama think it’s real cute making fun of the “drill here, drill now” language. They’ve both poked fun of it and in a sane world these two would be footnotes on the political landscape.
They both embody another phrase often attributed rightly or wrongly to Marie Antoinette- “Let them eat cake.”
alwaysright43 on August 26, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Since Pelosi has invested in Pickens’s plan, doesn’t that make her a handmaid of Big Wind?
zmdavid on August 26, 2008 at 10:38 PM
San Fran Nan, involved in intellectual drilling? Sounds like an attempt to hit a dry well.
thekingtut on August 26, 2008 at 10:39 PM
How dare you criticize her, she’s trying to save the planet, remember? Surely there must be something about that SUV that you don’t know… it’s it’s the new Chevy “Planet Saver”. Any truth to the rumors it runs on smugness, idiocy, and dishonesty.
RightWinged on August 26, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Nancy Pelosi is just a waste of oxygen. In My Humble Opinion
Vntnrse on August 26, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Oh great. A vehicle that runs forever with never having to fill up…as long as she’s along for the ride.
Thanks. I’ll walk.
91Veteran on August 26, 2008 at 10:44 PM
She’s the perfect example of why the “C” word is still
a fitting description of some.
Texyank on August 26, 2008 at 10:46 PM
Good ol’ Nan. Saving the planet, one SUV ride at a time.
Dusty on August 26, 2008 at 10:58 PM
OT
Thanks jamie!
Vizniak on August 26, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Her idiocy is beyond reproach.
SouthernGent on August 26, 2008 at 11:04 PM
she is just upset no one has drill her old **** in years , now hope back on your broom and fly away Nan before a house falls on you like it did your sister
Mojack420 on August 26, 2008 at 11:11 PM
The only thing I can add to this is to say that I do believe that anyone that would have sex with that woman is too lazy to masturbate.
Jdripper on August 26, 2008 at 11:13 PM
when she says somthing worth a damn then i will listen untill then Drill now drill here Drill heads 08
Mojack420 on August 26, 2008 at 11:14 PM
About 70% of this country wants us to drill for our own resources while we research alternatives.
When Nancy and her liberal party of Surrender yelled for immediate withdrawl from Iraq and about 60 % of the country was agreeing with her,it was “listen to the will of the people”.
Now with about 70% of America wanting our borders secured and drilling for our own oil,it’s pretty much “shut up you idiots”.
Just another example of that open minded,tolerant intellect
we always hear liberals talk about but never seem to see them practice.
Here is more hypocrisy from the “freedom of speech and exchange of ideas” crowd :
Fighting back against Obama’s thugs

Help fight back against these militant actions of the democratic party by contacting the stations to let them know you support their right to run what they see fit and our rights to get the truth about a Presidential candidate.
(not one fact has been successfully refuted in this ad by the Obama campaign).
Baxter Greene on August 26, 2008 at 11:24 PM
Or drunk as he!! and the bar is closing!!
Baxter Greene on August 26, 2008 at 11:26 PM
Does anybody even know what her or any Dems plan is?? Ok no drilling, takes 10 years…then ummmm..tell us what ya got!
malkinmania on August 26, 2008 at 11:26 PM
The bar is closing and she’s got a lotta room in the back seat of that SUV.
malkinmania on August 26, 2008 at 11:28 PM
The way things are going, I think I’m stuck with my gas guzzler ’til I kick it (the bucket that is). This is gonna’ go on for evah. I hate politics sometimes.
(I hate politics! I hate politics! McCain wins! I love politics!)
Mr_Magoo on August 26, 2008 at 11:29 PM
I said it in the last story, I’ll say it again in this one.
B***h.
madmonkphotog on August 26, 2008 at 11:36 PM
Now we know the truth. It’s not Botox or plastic surgery that gives her that fresh from the formaldehyde look each day. It’s a steady diet of freshly drilled brains.
Damiano on August 26, 2008 at 11:42 PM
It would be more appropriate if they just shut off her mike.
Ronnie on August 26, 2008 at 11:42 PM
Best line: “Uh, some of us are missing college to be here”.
So now we’re calling milia compounds in Idaho colleges?
DanKenton on August 26, 2008 at 11:47 PM
The only eay we lost the House was refusing to vote in 2006. All the open seatsand House seats we need to vote for the GOP to get rid of Pelosi. The same for the Senate.
Drill now is a big chance to get some gains in House and Senate.
RAH on August 26, 2008 at 11:47 PM
We’d drill Pelosi’s brains but the surveys don’t look promising.
TheUnrepentantGeek on August 27, 2008 at 12:19 AM
Can we drill your brain? lol Sure,.but let me drill your brain first, trust me!
christene on August 27, 2008 at 12:48 AM
Well, according to what she told George Stephanopolis a few weeks ago, she wants gas prices to stay HIGH because she believes that is an incentive to develop alternative sources.
But she also knows that it’s speculation about future supply and demand that drove the price per barrel up to $150, and that just the promise (or even the possibility) of increased drilling will bring prices back down.
She said it very plainly to Stephanopolis. She opposes more drilling because it will bring prices down and that, she fears, will mean that no alternatives will ever be developed.
She doesn’t care about the personal economically damaging cost of driving or food (or anything else that’s effected by high gas prices), she only cares about “the environment”.
In other words: She’s a lefty whacko.
Tuning Spork on August 27, 2008 at 2:18 AM
Oh gosh no! I get more laughs from listening to her than I do from Family Guy these days.
Hawthorne on August 27, 2008 at 2:56 AM
Someone needs to tell the “Joker” that public speaking requires a little decorum in an election year.
Benjamin9 on August 27, 2008 at 5:16 AM
*coke spew * Intellectual drilling?! *coke spew * Now she owes me a new computer monitor!
grapeknutz on August 27, 2008 at 5:51 AM
It is time for Fossil Pelosi to check into a re-education camp. Does it make you fell warm and fuzzy knowing that she is number 2 in line to be POTUS?
cavu on August 27, 2008 at 6:43 AM
“Can we drill your brain?” Is this a thinly veiled plug for the virtues of plastic surgery, perhaps?
Huckabye-Romney on August 27, 2008 at 6:51 AM
Once again, Nancy Pelosi proves to the masses that when it comes to having something so absolutely stupid come flying out of your mouth to the point that there is almost a certain level of majesty connected to it, nobody does it better than she, and she does it with something approaching gleeful abandon.
pilamaye on August 27, 2008 at 7:38 AM
What is it about Democrats, and embarrasing themselves when they are off the teleprompter?
MarkTheGreat on August 27, 2008 at 7:56 AM
I am left with two concerns after viewing this.
1. With Nancy Pelosi’s comments here and Howard Dean’s early yesterday leave me concerned with their reasoning abilities. Democrats spew hate and are arrogant enough to think they alone can solve the world’s problems. It’s only going to get worse before it gets better.
2. My bigger concern is that while I agree with the demonstrators that we should “Drill here and drill now!” I don’t agree on borrowing tactics from the left. Not all of the sign holders were shouting. Good! Are we going to borrow the same silence-the-opposition by shouting rather than debating? I hope not. This was bad form. I hope this doesn’t become a trend. I rather liked the striking difference between right from left protesting. The liberal media that often ignores the anarchist nutjobs that parade through town will no doubt love to show the rude right protestors.
shick on August 27, 2008 at 8:17 AM
Good lord. Somebody give Skeletor a 1 way ticket back to Snake Mountain, the Evil Horde wants their leader back.
TheHat on August 27, 2008 at 8:18 AM
Yeah, remember? There should be a video clip out there somewhere of all the chicks from The View proclaiming how they’d like to “do” him.
I preapologize: a link.
saint kansas on August 27, 2008 at 8:56 AM
That warms my heart. Way to go Aggies!
batter on August 27, 2008 at 9:33 AM
I am assuming that you meant to say militia compound… so now every college student in Idaho is in a militia? I was in the PhD program at the University of Idaho for a year and I promise you that UI has nearly as many damn liberals as any other college!
As for Pelosi, I was convinced that the #1 most stupid liberal on the planet was Obama, but I think that she might just give him a run for the money in that race. Anyone remember that scene in Men In Black where they show Will Smith which famous people are really aliens… well I am thinking that Nancy Pelosi would have fit in there real nice!
virology76 on August 27, 2008 at 9:54 AM
I look forward to Pelosi’s comments on any subject.
Every time she opens her mouth she accrues more votes for
the other side.
Keep up the good work Madame Speaker!!
Gulf Coast on August 27, 2008 at 10:00 AM
Libs do not do well when confronted.
Good times.
ex-Democrat on August 27, 2008 at 10:12 AM
Nazi Pelosi is the handmaiden of communists,socialists and Marxists of the world. Workers of the world unite!!!!!!Just don’t expect San Fran Nan to pay you minimum wage if you’re employed by this elite pig………..
adamsmith on August 27, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Especially ironic since here “drill right here’ is actually apt for Colorado.
PJ Emeritus on August 27, 2008 at 10:48 AM
You know, we often rightfully criticize left-wing protesters for interrupting speeches with their chants and antics.
Although their cause is just, I found the chanting during Pelosi’s speech annoying. Guys, if you must scream and yell, do it just before and immediately after a speech. Oh, and yell LOUDER next time because the Dems can’t hear you.
CliffHanger on August 27, 2008 at 11:13 AM
I have one question:
If it was the Republican’s who were opposing drilling and keeping the gas prices high. The Idiotcrats would be screaming on how it was hurting the poor, the minorities, and the children. Why don’t we do the same?
BruceB on August 27, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Pelosi is interrupted by protestors and we have audio.
chiefeditor on August 27, 2008 at 11:46 AM
You know, if someone could just find a way to make botox out of crude, we might have a better energy policy than ‘conserve our way to energy independance’.
