In 2005, several Democrats were leaking to the press that Pelosi might need to be "jettisoned" as Minority leader. They knew her too well, and they knew her shortcomings were more like a chasm.
Well, in 2006 the Dims took the House, and there was no way the first "Woman Speaker!!!!!!" would be denied by the press, by interest groups, by feminists, and by Pelosi herself.
Since 2006, we have had a Speaker who is not only very dumb (I believe her IQ is well below 100), but is also a nasty and vindictive person.
Did you ever have a boss that was stupid, but also mean?
It isn't a very good combination.
During that press conference, you saw what insider Democrats have seen for years. An incompetent liar with a penchant for being so petty she will even blame others for simply allowing their own lungs to perform respiration.

..... Nasty? Yes. Vindictive? Absolutely. Dumb? I doubt it.
It behooves us not to underestimate the intelligence of people like Pelosi and her ideological ilk. I personally consider her a vain, preening, arrogant political bully with a terminally over-developed sense of self-importance and entitlement. But I don’t think she is stupid by any measure.
And, though her face is botoxed to death, she's neglected her crinkly neck. ;o)
