Her mind wandering and her words not coming out right, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, 78, is sounding more addled than ever.

I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that she has dementia just yet.

Having watched Pelosi for along time I was never impressed by her command of the English Language or her ability to express and intelligent thought.

How do you express an intelligent thought if you’ve never had one?

My sister in law has Vascular Dementia (non-stroke). A recent MRI of her head shows massive depletion of the gray matter. Her neurologist says it is typical progression of the condition and not unusual for her age.

Her symptoms, over the years, have been exactly the same as pelosi's. Initial struggles to remember names and events. Then malaprops in speech and inability to maintain continuity in a conversation. In later stages she now expresses frustration then anger at not being able to communicate the way she knows she was able to.

Her initial age of onset of symptoms was in her mid 70's
