Nancy Pelosi, Minority Leader, U.S. House
We induct Nancy Pelosi into our Hall of Shame because, well, because she is Nancy Pelosi. This woman is responsible for Obamacare, a plan rejected by more than 70% of the people of the United States, thinks returning Veterans may be a terrorist risk, unabashedly supports killing babies, and is perhaps the stupidest Congress(wo)man we have had in 100 years. Pelosi is well-known for her bone-headed remarks that makes us wonder if she has the IQ to be in Congress (and that is saying something), but yesterday takes the cake. In response to the likely passing of Protect Life Act, Pelosi said during a press conference on October 13, 2011, that Republicans who voted for a pro-life bill were voting to let women die on the floor. For this off-the-charts idiocy Nancy Pelosi not only makes it to our Hall of Shame but is also given the Stupid Is as Stupid Does Award for the 20th and 21st Century. Think we exaggerate? Listen for yourself: In a blog comment one person said, She is an embarrassment to every rational human. Since she claims to be Catholic, we might say that she is an embarrassment to every Catholic, but that is giving her too much credit. Any pretense to Catholicism is just that, a pretense. Her support and facilitation of intrinsic evil has surely brought her an automatic excommunication long ago. We are only amazed, well maybe not, that the media does not shut her down when she makes such stupid remarks. This one yesterday far surpasses any stupid remark ever made by a Republican.
