The Prowler's assessment of Nancy Pelosi being a liability for Democrats mirrors what a lot of us have thought for a long time. Aside from her ability to apply bare-knuckled tactics in order to flex her political muscle, she is a real lightweight when dealing with complicated issues.

Now we discover Nan is a self-proclaimed church historian and spokesman for the Catholic Church, another job for which she spectacularly unqualified. Pope Nancy appeared on Meet the Press after the "Saddleback Showdown" and made a complete ass of herself as she waded into theological waters way beyond her depth - that would be about 2 inches. She tried to explain the doctrinal positions of the Catholic Church on when life begins and the morality of abortion by stammering and stumbling from one disjointed point to another. The nonsensical gibberish she spouted demonstrates just what an amateur she is. I know why Democrats think Obama is "thoughtful and nuanced" because compared to Madame Speaker, he comes across as a genius of the first rank. It is astounding to me how this nimrod has any standing whatsoever in Congress or how she could have even been elected in the first place. She can scarcely utter a coherent sentence, yet she is third in succession to the Presidency!

p>Having once been a practicing Catholic myself, I couldn't believe my ears when I heard her remarks. Despite claiming to be an "ardent Catholic," everything she said is the polar opposite of the Catholic Church's well-documented views on these issues. Pelosi is either completely ignorant of Catholic teaching or she is an unabashed liar. If her performance in this interview wasn't so pathetic, it would be laughable beyond measure. br> -- Rick Arand br> Lee's Summit, Missouri
