She's a good politician, and she knows how to keep going as if she hadn't made a mistake. Her problem was, she was incorrect even in her recovery. Her real problem remains, I think, that she has no clue how much gasoline costs in the United States.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, I suppose.

That was great. I think it also has something to do with breathing in too much smug air on the left coast and living in the fever swamp of D.C. the rest of the time.

Bush 1 when he didn't know the cost of a loaf of bread--pointing and laughing. I can understand being off by a dime or so on the gas prices since they go up literally by the hour on some days, but not being off by at least a dollar. Libs, however, especially those at the top of the food chain, are way too hip to have to keep up with such plebian details.

Environmentalists bare a heavy burden for the high price of gas, but it ain't gonna stick.

The story of an oilman coming to Washington with 6 years of a Republican congress, gas goes to $5/gallon or so, oil companies make the largest profits in the history of the world and they still get MASSIVE tax breaks...the campaign narrative writes itself.

McCain needs to distance himself from Bush on this issue.

Did you see the Jon Stewart clip of Bush campaigning in 2000? Brutal.

Will Mr. Straighttalk Express pander, or try to spread the iight of truth?

of the U.S.. That's not a bad thing. Also, if you don't already know it, the dreaded "big oil" companies only make around 8 to 9 cents on every gallon they sell. Government, which has absolutely NOTHING to do with actually pulling it out of the ground and shipping it makes around 19 cents on every gallon federally and up to a combined total of over 50 cents/gallon when including state taxes. The oil companies also pay payroll taxes and corporate taxes on all this lifeblood they provide. Who's the real problem? Hint: it's not the oil companies. God bless big oil, I'm glad they're part of my retirement plan. Chances are, they're a big part of your plan too.

simply misspoke? Her entire answer points to the obvious: that she actually has no clue at all.

$2.59…

$3.50…

Down six cents…

Hike!

I could possibly buy the "meant to say" argument, but it is by no means "obvious."

Speaker Pelosi's is so wrong about so much else that it's no stretch at all to think that, in her alternate reality, $2.59 - $3.50 = $0.06.

I'd like to see the color of the sky on her planet.

That would be potato.

"I believe we must adjourn this meeting to some other place." - The last recorded words of Adam Smith.

I am so glad I finished my soda ten minutes before reading this.

The new math being taught in the schools would indicate the answer is correct... Can't hurt the children feelings..

You're assuming that she read the Dem talking points and that she memorized the price of gas as written there.

She misspoke, in the sense that she did not know the price of gas but spoke anyway. It's that simple, and let us stop calling me silly. 'K?

You're assuming that she remembered what she saw if she did.

And rememeber, she said specifically that the NATIONAL AVERAGE PRICE OF GAS, not the price on all those signs which fly past her window, was $2.59.

She hasn't a leg to stand on, here.

$2.59 IS nearly 3 times $1. So it makes perfect sense. If she had known that the average price was $3.50. I would have expected her to say "more than 3 times"

Well....there are some! Currently the USAF is still using KC-135s. They're usually referred to offically as "aerial tankers" and popularly (in my AF circles anyway) as "flying gas stations" but why quibble. They do not, however, dispense regular, usually the latest version of jet fuel and I'm not sure what the current price per gallon is. But I'm sure Ms. Pelosi knows that! Maybe we should ask???

P.S RE: "The HinzSight Report" great name, great 'site'!

on the sides of those KC-135s, not that it would matter -- I'm sure she takes the "Express." The only thing she has to re-fuel is her drink!

And thanks.

Naw....she has people for that! LOL

I just saw a clip where Bush told the Pope that his speech was "awesome." I didn't see that on mainstream media anywhere. And that's not a flub, that's just, IMO, an inappropriate response to a speech made by the Supreme Pontiff.

That makes no sense. Awesome is a perfectly acceptable term to use. I doubt he said "like that was like totally awesome, dude." Do you think "Awesome God" is an inappropriate song too?

what he meant. Maybe he meant "awe-inspiring." I don't mean inappropriate as in disrespectful, I mean it as in not appropriate for the occasion.

Awesome is perfectly acceptable. Quit beclowning yourself.

Is the sky potato on your planet, too?

Idaho, Russett, Red, Yukon Gold, Maine or some other type of potato I haven't listed?
