For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Was Pelosi's performance on "This Week" yesterday the worst you've ever seen from a major elected official?

For those that missed it, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was George Stephanopoulos's guest on "This Week" Sunday. Not only did she come across as knowing absolutely nothing about the energy markets as well as the oil industry, she presented herself more as a freshman representative that had never been in front of the camera instead of the most powerful member of Congress that happens to be second in succession to the presidency.

All things considered, was this the worst performance you've ever seen by a major elected official on a political talk show?
