Another version of the episode surfaced last night, making him even more of a vacuum-headed dork... He's actually telling Nancy Pelosi he'll take more of her questions. She wasn't asking questions. She'd been giving him a summation about something from a piece of paper.
When she finished, he said what he said... and her reaction is like who the hell is he talking to? with a grimace of panic, like she hadn't been informed about reporters being present or not.
