Pelosi Endorses "Drill Here, Drill Now" Strategy To Address Democrat Brain Shortage
Posted by Harvey at 11:01 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (27)

DENVER (AP) - At a train station outside the Democrat convention, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought volunteers to help ease the severe shortage of gray matter in the Democrat Party, asking one group "can we drill your brains?".

"Trepan here, trepan now!"

"It's no secret that Democrats have been low on brains for a long time now," said Pelosi, "as our convention so sadly illustrates. From our presumptive candidate not knowing whether he was in St. Louis or Kansas City, to his mental defective veep referring to him as 'Barack America', to our tribute to Ted Kennedy opening AND closing with scenes of open water - dear God in heaven, we just aren't that bright."

While some in the Democrat party have advocated clean, renewable sources of brains - such as babies - left-wing scientists are unable to discover a practical method of bringing them out into the world alive so that they can grow. "There's no commercially viable way to turn these bits of fetal tissue into something that can think like a human being," noted Pelosi, "even the Pope agrees with that."

"We've tried using trained monkeys as a substitute for smart people," said the Speaker, "but all that got us was MoveOn.org."

The Democrat party is currently heavily dependent on brains from overseas, such as Canadian health ministers, Iranian mullahs, and Manifesto-writing Russian philosophers. Such a strategically questionable over-reliance on foreign sources puts Liberals in a precarious position. "What if the rest of the world suddenly stopped thinking in a socially responsible fashion and simply left the United States to think for itself? Some people scoff that this could never happen, but those people have obviously forgotten about the dreadful Reagan years."

"So I think that, in the end, our only realistic choice is to drill for brains here in the US," concluded Pelosi. "Then again, ramming a 4-inch steel bit through someone's skull with a Black & Decker cordless might actually be a monumentally idiotic feel-good pipe-dream instead of a sensible plan for ensuring the future of our nation. But I'm a Democrat, so I really wouldn't be able to tell the difference."

That's some weapons grade snark right there. Kudos.

Harvey, you should have warned us with this:

*** Coffee Spillage Alert ***

I was wondering if her vacant stare meant that the back of her head is missing. It was "trepanned." (A new word for the day. I did not know that! Thanks, Harvey.)

#2 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 28, 2008 11:35 AM

soo goood. brains...

Zobamies? Ozambas? Ozambies.

#3 - Posted by: on August 28, 2008 12:10 PM

Bwah-ha-ha-ha! Niiiiiiiiice. And #3 has a good angle to explore, as well.
But seriously, I've been wondering lately about the lack of brainpower found in liberals today relative to that of the average three-toed sloth. I seem to remember days of yore when most liberals seemed to compare favorably to spider monkeys at the very least. Sometimes poodles. This is a disturbing downtrend in liberal smarts...wait a sec...no, it's not really disturbing me...ah, that's only feelings of despair over the general aptitude of the human race, not pity for liberals. Whew, I'm okay now.

even the Pope agrees

Nicely done, Frank.

#5 - Posted by: Anon Y. Mous on August 28, 2008 01:44 PM

Very funny!

#6 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on August 28, 2008 01:51 PM

How about brains from illegal immigrants? The only caveat I could see would be that they wouldn't speak English anymore but it's not like we understand them anyway.

And #3, you stole my idea! heh

Some Congress critters are already being fitted with a new, experimental bionic proboscis that punches into the back of the head to extract the precious gray gold. Before that they had to rely on the gruesome ritual of lulling the victim into a state of paralyzing boredom with speeches about fiscal policy, then crack the skull with their thick, cigarette stained fingernails.

Ms. Pelosi has a natural brain sucking proboscis, but it's located lower on the anatomy.

#8 - Posted by: PaleoMedic on August 28, 2008 02:09 PM

Oh yeah... -that's- why I come here. Nicely done, Harvey. This may be among your best.

#9 - Posted by: r2streu on August 28, 2008 02:53 PM

Very well done Harvey, liberal lunacy in a nutshell. But enough about Pelosis face.

#10 - Posted by: Dohtimes on August 28, 2008 03:21 PM

It takes a spillage.

We ARE in a fight for the human mind, aren't we?

#11 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 28, 2008 03:29 PM

Maybe she thought she was talking to the unborn. Oh wait, they don't ask to drill their brains, they 'choose' it.

#12 - Posted by: T.N. Amaps on August 28, 2008 03:37 PM

Some of your best, if not THE best work you've ever done, harvey!

#13 - Posted by: Raving Lunatic on August 28, 2008 04:49 PM

LOL, RightWingTink! "It's not like we understand them anyway"!
*sigh* I just hope the election doesn't go the way of the "Ozambies".

#14 - Posted by: LearntoDrawaLine on August 28, 2008 05:02 PM

I support Pelosi, and am insulted by this.

#15 - Posted by: <3 Pelosi on August 28, 2008 05:07 PM

I question your comma,

#16 - Posted by: on August 28, 2008 05:15 PM

Very, very, very nice my friend. There is nothing left to say.

#17 - Posted by: seanmahair on August 28, 2008 05:42 PM

Marx was Prussian (aka German) not Russian... but I'm sure that's what you meant.

#18 - Posted by: Adam Mk 1 Mod 0 on August 28, 2008 06:52 PM

...also, did this remind anyone else of that movie "Fortress"? I wouldn't suggest that democrats watch that movie. They may think installing mind controlling computers is a good idea.

#19 - Posted by: Adam Mk 1 Mod 0 on August 28, 2008 06:56 PM

Yeah, that's your A Game, Harvey.

Speaking of idiotic moments, I just caught Al Gore walking off stage to the tune "Let the sun shine in" from the end of Age of Aquarius.

Al Gore - Global Warming - let the sun shine in????
Age of Aquarius - Not putting a lot of distance between themselves and drug use and new-agey funk.
While typing that - I heard one more - they sold 20,000 more tickets than they have seats at the arena.

I'm beginning to think Fox News is redundant - We don't need anyone to point out where the democrats are complete idiots. They are perfectly content to do it for us.

#20 - Posted by: Kent on August 28, 2008 09:06 PM

Good grief - just doesn't end.

Michael McDonald - Doobie Brothers???

He slipped and said "God shed my grace on thee". Who died and made you Obama?

Perhaps a better song choice would have been "What a Fool Believes".

#21 - Posted by: Kent on August 28, 2008 09:10 PM

Followed by an ad for Cialis.

Now they are interviewing Dick Morris.

The gift just keeps on giving!

#22 - Posted by: Kent on August 28, 2008 09:13 PM

#3 thanks the posters for their enjoyment of his zombie joaks and only wishes he signed his name. :|

#23 - Posted by: Unistat on August 28, 2008 10:17 PM

I'd say Nancy spends too much time thinking about the other kind of drilling.

#24 - Posted by: on August 28, 2008 10:44 PM

I'm gonna call you Anonymous.

#25 - Posted by: Freedom Fries on August 29, 2008 01:59 AM

Brilliant, as always, Harvey!

#26 - Posted by: Hapkido on August 29, 2008 08:34 PM

Fantastic job!
