On the one hand, California U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi claims that Democrats are not “fear-mongers;” on the other hand, she believes civilization is doomed if Republicans take control of the Senate from Democrats in November.

The former speaker of the House made those dramatic, incongruous statements on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” which aired live from Washington, D.C. Friday.

Maher asked Pelosi about recent polling which shows that the GOP is likely to take over the upper chamber and asked, given gridlock in Washingon, why it matters that Democrats keep control.

“It would be very important for the Democrats to retain control of the Senate,” Pelosi told Maher. “Civilization as we know it today would be in jeopardy if the Republicans win the Senate.”

I'm of two minds when it comes to Nancy Pelosi...on the one hand, I thought she was a helluva better Speaker than most of the past Republicans who've held that post, including the current one, Speaker John of Orange. On the other hand, I think she's way too melodramatic nowadays to be an effective Democratic leader and there are times where I wish she'd jump go jump off a cliff, preferably taking Speaker Boehner with her over the cliff...

Then again, given how dysfunctional Congress is at present, does it almost really matter who runs the place nowadays?
