Nancy Pelosi: Ignorant about natural gas

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 17, 2008 12:23 PM

Nancy Pelosi’s mouth emits a lot of natural gas, but she has no idea about how the other kind is produced.

Conn Carroll at Heritage teaches her a lesson:

The day before the Democratic National Convention Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) went on Meet the Press and told Tom Brokaw:

I’m, I’m, I’m investing in something I believe in. I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels. … These investments in wind, in solar and biofuels and focus on natural gas, these are the real alternatives.

As we pointed out at the time, natural gas is not an alternative to fossil fuels … it is a fossil fuel. And as the “Energy Kids Page” of the Energy Information Administration (EIA) explains, it is a fossil fuel that needs to be drilled for.

One would hope that Pelosi had studied up on the issue since then, but her comments after the House passed a bill codifying the ban on most of the Outer Continental Shelf shows she still does not. Pelosi told The Washington Post: “We’re not trying to give incentives to drill, we’re giving incentives to invest in renewables and natural gas that will take us where we need to go.”

Again, where does Pelosi think natural gas comes from? If the government is “giving incentives” to natural gas, it is giving incentives to drill. That is how we get natural gas.

Drill, baby, drill that into your head before you embarrass yourself again.

    Pelosi hasn’t got a clue. Never had and never will. She is the result of mixing June Cleaver with Code Pink, Steroids and a strap on.

    The only natural gas pelosi can comment on is that which eminates from her own rectum after eating dolphin free tuna purchased from the slave labor in american samoa with dollars obtained from her husbands illegal dockside land grab deals.

    There is a brain in Pelosi’s head oh yes there is… But it will take shoving it in the haldron collider at CERN and accelerating it beyond the speed of light then smashing it against a lead wall and quickly snapshoting the particles that are not lead or FAT to find the actual grey matter… Which they will find occupy less space and have less matter than this> .

    The fart factory is already open, & she runs it. Looks as if she is making a buck out of it too…

    Hey Regularguy,

    Did I mince my words? I have been watching This end times Harlot riding her tax and spend and BLAME dragon far too long.
    She has dis-honored::
    our troops
    Our war heroes
    Our freedom
    Our sensibilities
    Our Judaical system
    Our contributions to humanity
    and our American Civilities.

    Nancy Pelosi embodies all that is foul in the Party of the Liberals as Strongly as Sarah Palin has shown what pride can be salvaged in the conservative party.

    Nancy pelosi’s 100 days were as productive as milking a Bull. Where is the CHANGE she promised, where is the end to the war, where is the bi-partisanship. You’d have a better chance searching the skies for E.T. than finding a modicum of fact in the BS she spewed to get elected.

    Even her Code Pinko’s turned against her, after she gave them PUBLIC parking spaces to denounce the Military recruiting post, and at present possibly have a small transient anti-Pelosi village built out in front of her San Fran Castle to protest their Liberal Queen.
    I’m surprised Cindy (the commie) sheehan hasn’t bought the house next door and planted Peace tree’s in her American garden of hate to show how she has neither proved a friend of the Liberal or the harbinger of change.

    Pelosi is the definition of the same Ole same Ole. Whats that O. Hussein Barrack said about putting lipstick on a PIG? Well I say it’s not the lipstick quote that makes the news. It is the casting (wearing) of the pearls before (by) swine that defines this impotent Politician.

    My family has owned a farm for over 80 years and we had trucks with natural gas tanks. We could switch to natural gas with a toggle at any time. They took up tons of space to use though. Can someone with more experience say if its feasible for every day cars?

    It would be a good idea to institute some qualifications to hold congressional office. Once an individual is qualified, then we can vote. I think they should at least be as smarter than a 5th grader. What an embarrassment this woman is…actually, what an embarrassment most of congress is.

    Not a bad idea; that kind of test and another kind - a LIE DETECTOR TEST. Imagine McCain and Palin challenging Obama and Biden to agree to being hooked up to a lie detector during all the debates? ummmm ahhh errrr …..

    I don’t think it’d change anything, what with the softballs they throw Obama.

    MC: “Mr. Obama. Do you like children?”
    Obama: “Yes.”
    MC: “Well, the polygraph proves it. Obama likes children.”

    I agree that is a valid concern but I have a way around it; here are my rules:

    1. A list of, say, 20 true/false questions is written by each candidate to be asked of the opposing candidate. (Sealed in a mayonnaise jar left on Funk and Wagner’s door step, etc.)

    2. Each candidate is given one hour in advance to review the questions that they are going to be asked.

    3. Either candidate has the option, in advance, to decline to answer any or all of the questions HOWEVER .. the questions that they so decline will be revealed after the completion of the lie detector show down.

    4. A coin toss determines which candidate gets to decide who is to ask the first question, (like football), and that candidate asks their question of the other while the other answers it with the lie detector monitoring them. They alternate taking turns from there.

    5. Without mentioning the nature of them and just before the questioning begins, the number of questions each candidate has elected to not answer is revealed. To equalize the number of questions, for whichever candidate has declined the fewer questions, (if any), that candidate gets to decide that number of the other’s questions they wish to decline just before the start of questioning. And THOSE questions are NOT revealed.

    What’s left is how to make certain each candidate is truly hooked up to the machine when they are answering. etc. which I suppose is territory for finding a neutral expert party or parties to administer the machinery; certainly not anyone from MSM…

    Of course the above could all be done without lie detectors too.
