I think she just comes off as stupid because she is constantly trying to match wits with Tyrion, Tywin, Varys, Little Finger, etc. and all of them outclass her. Seems like in her younger days she could probably just get by on being daddy's pretty little rich girl.

Yeah, I can see that for sure. She's definitely smart, but sometimes chooses her battles unwisely and tries to match wits with wittier opponents. Though I will say she can hold her own against most (even the likes of people like Varys and Littlefinger at times)...or even if she doesn't she still can manage to manipulate things. Like I look at Maergery and how smart she is being about the whole Joffrey thing. But Cersei picked up on that as soon as she started that shite. But of course she tried to overstep her bounds and it backfired on her. It's like she's genius when it comes to figuring shite out and staying on top of things, but stupid in choosing ways to act on it.
