Nancy Pelosi Believes Africa Is A Country and Hamas Is A Humanitarian Organization

Ret. Lt. Col. Ralph Peters called Nancy Pelosi “dumb as a rock". In case you missed why he referred to her as such, here's the scoop. In an interview with CNN's Candy Crowley, the Democratic House Minority Leader was discussing how the Israelis definitely have the right to defend themselves against the barrage of rocket attacks launched into their country by Hamas, but then she said the following:

 “And we have to confer with the Qataris, who have told me over and over again that Hamas is a humanitarian organization. Maybe they could use their influence, uh, to , uh ..”

Crowley cuts her off:

“The U.S. thinks they’re a terrorist organization though, correct? Do you?”

Pelosi responds:

 “Mm-hmm."

 Crowley tries to say something and Pelosi cuts her off with:

"And we’ve had that discussion.”

She also happens to think Africa is a country, at least according to her Twitter post that was soon deleted after the firestorm of ridicule the Tweet received.

And this is the person who served as Speaker of The House from 2007 through 2011, which means if anything had happened to both the President and Vice-President, she would have been next in command.  That's pretty darn scary.
