Pelosi and the Consequences of Throwing Stones in Glass Houses

Perhaps the rapid walk-back by camp Pelosi was inspired by a sudden fear Gingrich knows a lot about her too. That little trip she took to Syria in 2007, for example, where she violated the Logan Act.
Despite White House objections then-Speaker Pelosi fly to Syria where she claimed to bring a message from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to President Bashar Assad saying Israel was ready for peace talks. The only problem was, as reported by the Washington Post, Olmert immediately denied having entrusted Pelosi with that "peace message."
Then there's the little nuggets revealed by Peter Schweitzer in his book Throw Them All Out where -- among other things -- Pelosi spent two years blocking credit card reform legislation while purchasing $1 million to $5 million of Visa stock to have her investment "skyrocket 203 percent."
In his discussion of Schweitzer's book, Wynton Hall of Big Government asked the obvious question: "How did Nancy Pelosi snag one of the most coveted initial public offerings in history?" In the words of Schweitzer, Pelosi mysteriously received her Visa IPO almost two weeks after preventing passage of the Credit Card Fair Fee Act. Had this legislation passed it would have significantly cut Visa's profits by lowering the "interchange fees" retailers pay Visa when customers use Visa cards for purchases.
Of course, despite evidence to the contrary, Pelosi told ABC the story was false.

What is it with those Wilma Flintstone necklaces she always wears???
Maybe she can have her tongue tied down during her next tune up.
Minimizes the wrinkles and sagging skin by comparison.
Here is your brain.
Here is your brain on botox.
Use a long, large needle, and shoot BOTOX into her tongue when they are doing her other injections. It would be a tremendous service to everyone.
She thought she was behind closed doors talking to THE PARTY
you would have to TIE HER HANDS behind her back, to make her shutup.
Corruption comes so naturally at times that some people have to think real hard before they open their mouths.
She’s had so many facelifts that those necklaces are in place to keep her nipples off her cheeks.
Better yet, tie her hands behind her back and have her describe a spiral staircase and watch her explode.
ROFL, I despise that hag.
Is what she did any worse than the Traitor John Kerry dealing with the North Vietnamese, or murdering a wounded Vietnamese soldier? A war crime, and he was picked for the Super-Committee.
This is what we have as our Democrat representatives.
When she least suspects it, Pelosi will regret threatening Newt, very much.
Just because she appears to be back-tracking doesn’t mean she won’t secretly slander Newt to her friends in the press. Then Newt won’t be able to retaliate against her.
“Minimizes the wrinkles and sagging skin by comparison”
According to another Freepers post on a previous thread, the above is accomplished as follows: Pelosi has a little crank behind her neck to tighter her face.
