Newt today said that if Pelosi wants to disclose information about himself from when she was on the ethics committee, that the House should immediately file charges against her as that is a violation of the rules of the House:
First of all I’d like to thank Speaker Pelosi for what I regard as an early Christmas gift. If she’s suggesting she’s gonna use material she developed while she was on the ethics committee, that is a fundamental violation of the rules of the House and I would hope members would immediately file charges against her the second she does it.
Here’s the full clip:

Isn’t he just admitting that she’s got dirt on him? Sit on the couch with her again, Newt. Or it could just be an organized plan to insure that Mitt takes the spot. I’m beginning to wonder if Gingrich is a choice or a red herring.
Don’t be an ignoramus. Pelosi has just given Newt the ammunition to blow her out of the water. When he counterattacks, believe me, he counterattacks.
The Larry Flynt party.
Arrogance. Complete arrogance....he didn’t suspect they had the goods on him with his ‘Calista’, and he doesn’t suspect they know anything else he’s hiding.
Gingrich didn’t give Pelosi anything. He was long out of office when he agreed to do that ‘friendly’ advertisement.
Pelosi is acting like a mafioso - with cryptic threats of blackmail. By not acting like a victim - Newt wins this fight against the corrupt backstabber and loser that Pelosi is.
She is digging her own grave- Newt just needs to shove her in it.
“He could actually give the Dems huge majorities in both houses.”
He takes them, not gives them. Skip your history classes?
Incidentally, by saying what she did Pelosi inadvertently helped Gingrich to distance himself from his earlier fraternizing with her.
Yuck!
Summary for those who can’t see the video:
Newt says if Nancy releases anything from the Ethics Committee she should be immediately investigated by the House.
Newt is kicking you-know-what and taking names! Pelosi’s blowing smoke and some of the folks around here scatter for the bushes to hide. If they had ANYTHING more on Newt they would have used it in the first campaign to destroy him. They have nothing.
Newt is a fighter. He’s going to take it directly to the other side.
So why did he do that ad with Pelosi?
I thought that as well.. that it’d be a violation of House rules to release that kind of info.
Be that as it may, one thing the detestable Pelosi is indeed forgetting... Newt Gingrich relishes a mudfight, and will be quite willing to deliver back to his attackers.
So go for it, Wicked Bitch of the West... bring it!
Actually I hope it sets us back about 30 years. That would be nice.
Oh it's all coming out. No question about that.
If he is the nominee, we are so screwed.
Already discussed on FR threads ad nauseum.
From Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newt_Gingrich
Eighty-four ethics charges were filed against Speaker Gingrich during his term, including claiming tax-exempt status for a college course run for political purposes. Following an investigation by the House Ethics Committee Gingrich was sanctioned US$300,000.[65] Gingrich acknowledged in January 1997 that “In my name and over my signature, inaccurate, incomplete and unreliable statements were given to the committee”. [66] The House Ethics Committee concluded that inaccurate information supplied to investigators represented “intentional or ... reckless” disregard of House rules.[67] Special Counsel James M. Cole concluded that Gingrich violated federal tax law and had lied to the ethics panel in an effort to force the committee to dismiss the complaint against him. The full committee panel did not agree whether tax law had been violated[68] and left that issue up to the IRS.[69] In 1999, the IRS cleared the organizations connected with the “Renewing American Civilization” courses under investigation for possible tax violations.
GO Newt! Come out swinging every time they try this stuff! Voters are sick of it.
Oh please.........
Until now. It stopped with Gingrich...he bites back. He may have his warts, but he doesn't play.
