How stupid is pelosi?

I think you should look at this as hyperbole. It's a way to rally the base and get out voters in a midterm election where voter turnout is historically low. Both sides of the aisle start to do it when it gets close to election season.

Her sense of emtitlement is bigger than the whole of the outside.

And what's sad is that Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein aren't a damned bit better - or smarter....

I never said that they were. My point is that these kinds of comments are made all the time and not necessarily meant to be taken literally. I would say that just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean that they lack intelligence. We elect officials to carry out our will. You may not agree with Pelosi, but she does represent her liberal San Francisco district very well. Many people aren't a fan of Ted Cruz, it doesn't mean that he isn't representing his district well.

On a 1 to 10 scale.

I prefer a scale of 1 to "legitimate rape". In this case, I'd put it a little lower than "mission accomplished" on that scale.

Can we get California to secede ? Would solve all their problems and a lot of mine.

She got a lot of people to believe in her which allowed her to make millions of dollars. If she made a "how to" video, I'd buy it.

I understand we don't have to agree. It's just kind of an extreme comment that California should leave the United States because you don't agree with the direction that they are choosing. I also understand that Pelosi does make stupid comments some times, but she has very little power; shes only Congressional house member.

Election coming up and the Dems feel the heat. Lots of division in this country now, but it will turn around, it has to, too get things done. United Sates, united being the key word there. Pelosi and Reed are legends in their own minds, out of touch. Serving the public or their parties, or their own agenda's? If I was a Dem last thing I would want is them speaking for me, or even speaking.

Pelosi is not stupid. But that was a totally stupid thing to say.

He can make hyperbolic statements if he likes, but it's only hyperbole if he doesn't really mean it.

I can agree that she is not my choice for president either, but when she made these comments she was not the House Majority Leader; she hasn't been for the last 4 years. This comment that she made is also somewhat taken out of context because she seems to have meant it as a joke. It was a bad comment, like when Romney said that he enjoys firing people. I understand that there is an expectation of professionalism when we look to our political leaders, but they are people, and people make mistakes.

One of the few absolute truths.
