VIDEO: House Minority Leader Pelosi confers w/ 5-year-old grandson on Syria
Honestly, you’d think this was something out of the Onion. Sadly, it’s not. Via NRO’s Andrew Johnson:
Nancy Pelosi told reporters today she consulted her five-year-old grandson over the weekend about whether or not to support intervention in Syria.
The minority leader explained that when she was home this past weekend, her five-year-old consigliere pressed her, βAre you βyesβ war with Syria, βnoβ war with Syria?,β and said he opposed intervention. She took issue with his use of βwarβ to describe what she considers an βaction,β but told him she generally agreed, but favored intervention because βtheyβve killed hundreds of children there.β
The youngster then asked her if the children were in the United States. Pelosi explained the victims were children abroad, but praised his βwisdomβ in attending to American interests. She explained to reporters, however, that she found her grandsonβs reasoning wanting because the use of chemical weapons βaffects our interests because, again, it was outside of the circle of civilized behavior.β
Here’s the video. Watch it. Seriously.

@sistertoldjah couldn't she have asked him about robbing his future with Obamacare?
