This blog is filled with stories about the bizarre staring, incoherence, and incoherence that President Biden displays during his scripted public appearances. He often interrupts his handlers in strange and even embarrassing ways.
And while that’s obviously very concerning to many Americans when one considers the fact that he is the leader of the free world, it’s equally worrying when it comes from the second person in the presidential line of succession – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi may not have had the best moments, but there are plenty of times when she has been in front of cameras.
Take a look at what she said below during a press briefing late last week when she was asked “Why hasn’t the House acted on that bill about Uyghur oppression, and do you think that it will?”
It is possible to make head or tails out of it. I can’t:

Even the “cleaned up” version of the transcript posted by Pelosi’s office doesn’t help much (it’s missing several of the awkward pauses, which I added back in), but here it is anyway:
Now, there is a bill in Congress. It’s the McGovern bill, a stronger bill than the [confusion] it’s a bill that we could have freestanding or bill in the EAGLE Act that is part of the [confusion, long pauses and awkward laughter]Foreign Affairs Committee. Mr. Kendrick Meeks – no, Gregory Meeks’ bill. Kendrick – we are all very sad about losing Carrie Meek this week, so I referenced her son. But Chairman Meeks’ bill in the House. We will also have this.
But, you see, in a defense – [in a] bill, whether it’s in the whatever that thing’s called that they have in the Senate, or in a DOD bill, the Senate does not have the right to have a revenue or an appropriations matter.
I get it that sometimes people have so much on their plate that it’s easy to forget names, places, things, stumble on a word or two. It was not painful. It was a trainwreck.
It makes me wonder, when I look at things like these (and the Biden Video), if there are age restrictions on the House, Senate and White House. However, if that were to happen then some very effective people would not be able to run or would need to withdraw at certain points due to age limitations.
