As Twitchy reported, GOP Reps. John Boehner and Eric Cantor have officially announced their support for military action in Syria, but they didn’t make their case as wisely as Nancy Pelosi did. Pelosi, you see, has a five-year-old grandson who didn’t understand why we would go to war in Syria — until his grandma Mimi set him straight:
Nancy Pelosi left the podium and specifically came all the way back to the microphones to talk about her grandson

.@NancyPelosi says 5 yr old grandson told her "no war"w/ Syria – she said children were killed – he asked "were they in the unitedstates?"

Well, not anymore. Pelosi has seen to that, having successfully convinced her naïve grandson that war’s totally cool and righteous when Obama does it.
Nancy Pelosi has just invoked a conversation with her 5 year old grandson to support her support for action on Syria. Bad move Nancy.

Bad move? Only if by “bad,” you mean “awesome”:
This is an awesome moment from Pelosi … talking about talking to her grandson, who calls her Mimi, about going to war with Syria.

Who needs the Constitution, when Nancy Pelosi's grandchildren say it's time to kill some Syrians?

Nancy Pelosi relating a discussion with her 5 y/o grandson that just HAS to be complete and utter bullshit.

Damn. Nancy Pelosi's 5-year-old grandson is quite an astute critical thinker and observer of geopolitics.

Nancy Pelosi did not have that conversation with her 5 year old grandson! If she did, God help that poor child.
