Nancy Pelosi: Dumber Than a Box of Rocks
San Francisco Examiner ^ | May 21, 2009 | Staff

Posted on 08/06/2009 11:19:55 AM PDT by Wardenclyffe

A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. Ms Pelosi took the opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with which he was most at ease.

'Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?'

'Nothing is easier,' he replied. 'You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts you on the track.'

'What sort of question?' asked Pelosi.

Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?''

Pelosi thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, 'You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don't know much about history.'

she was able to sweep TARP, Stimulus and Cap and Trade through the house so easily?

Threats?

I agree not to underestimate the enemy but I think she quite likes to strong arm - part of the power!

The Radical liberals own Washington....thank those who deemed McCain too liberal to earn their vote.....

Don’t know. But remember when the heat got turned up on her over her calling the CIA liars and suddenly she was photographed in Shanghi or something? It was then.

I have to imagine it had something to do with trade.

We have to be aware that Snopes does tend to err on the side of giving entries about Democrats the benefit of the doubt. If they’re not overwhelming proven to be true, they’re determined to be questionable or in doubt.

Barney Frank gives her a run for her money. That guy is unbelievably stupid.

Nancy and her ilk are CRIMINALS.

They are ‘dumb’ concerning things which are just and right and virtuous.
But they are very clever with things that involve corruption, graft and greed.

I kind of figured she spent a lot of time on her knees for those votes?

Maybe Diane Feinstein asked her to check on her husband’s investments.

Seriously? she has a big advantage in numbers to begin with, plus those bills were all LADEN with pork for the people voting for them. At least HALF of the stimulus bill was pork for the guys who voted for it. Not hard to get a vote with that little incentive.

Hassert, Lott and Frist gave away plenty of pork as well and when it really mattered got nothing in return because of the minority Democrats and RINO's who couldn't be controlled by the three leaders or President Bush. Up until now, Nancy has kept the blue dogs and Harry Reid on a very tight leash.

Anyone who thinks the U.S. is losing 500 million jobs a month is not too bright. Read some of her statements and you’ll see a pattern. As to how “she” was able to cram through all these bills: She takes good direction. IMHO.

I would have to assume that you have never seen a woman put on an act to get what she wants...Nancy deserves an Oscar for the part she has been playing.

Doesn’t matter, I’ll probably get hit by a car anyways.
