These two characters alone have a tendency to say stupid things, but bring them together and we have stupidity squared.
PITT: Thank you. Thank you. I just want to say thank you to the speaker for opening up her doors for us to come in and discuss the rebuilding effort, the current rebuilding effort going on in New Orleans and how we can expand this idea of affordability and sustainability because we think we have a model that works.
Thank you.
PELOSI: You might be interested in knowing, Mr. Clyburn and I were just hearing a little bit. We're going to hear more now, but Mr. Clyburn is the head of our Katrina Task Force. So he's led us delegations down to the Gulf Coast area many times.
And we were listening with great satisfaction to the fact that not are [sic] these homes -- wonderful homes for these families -- not are [sic] they built to a green standard, but they have a utility bill of under $10 a month.
PITT: It's possible.
PELOSI: It's possible to have a utility bill under $10 a month.

ALAN: Yes, it's possible, if you have a single light bulb that you turn on for a few hours a day.

I think these two people are so out of touch that they don't know what the common citizen pays for utilities. Consider Pelosi's vineyard estate in California (using non-union labor) and Brad Pitt's $70 million pad in France. Green standard indeed. Green standard is for the working class, but elites can't be bothered by such things. Their large estates probably cost $10 a minute in utilities.

I watched the newsclip. They both looked goofey. I can appreciate his efforts to do good, but I think that they both might be a little out of touch too with the mainstream middle class to poor person. $10 a month utility bill does sound quite unlikely.
