Gingrich: Pelosi comments ‘hysterical’
Wash Times ^ | Wednesday, January 25, 2012 | David Eldridge

Posted on 01/25/2012 8:18:37 AM PST by Cheerio

Mrs. Pelosi, like Mr. Gingrich a former speaker of the House, said on CNN this week that a Gingrich presidency “will never happen.” Asked how she could be so confident, the California Democrat said, without further explanation: “There’s something I know.”

Mrs. Pelosi, who served on the House Ethics Committee when it reprimanded Mr. Gingrich in 1997, referenced that investigation when she offered up similar comments about Mr. Gingrich last month.

Mr Gingrich challenged Mrs. Pelosi to “put up or shut up.”

“I know something you don’t know.”

How pathetic. Nancy, grow up.

One of Pelosis many scandals. Remember this? Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Department of Defense (DOD) detailing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s multiple requests for military air travel. The documents, obtained by Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), include internal DOD email correspondence detailing attempts by DOD staff to accommodate Pelosi’s numerous requests for military escorts and military aircraft as well as the speaker’s last minute cancellations and changes. The following are a few highlights from the documents, which are linked in full below:

Fox showed a clip of Newt being asked about this and he concluded his comments with something like “I’d rather have Nancy Pelosi threatening me than endorsing me!” LOL.

On a serious note, I said this the last go-round of Pelosi’s threats: this is flirting with extortion.

Great stuff - if her district had any brains she would not be reelected. The best we can hope for is that she is denied the House Speaker chair from here to eternity.

Pelosi: Dems have 'very good chance' of retaking House

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the situation in the Republican-controlled House “poisonous.” But she expressed optimism Tuesday that GOP disarray within Congress could benefit Democrats in November both on Capitol Hill and the White House.

Her supporters are more bonkers than she is--something hard to imagine but nonetheless true.

You have seen her district, right?

They ARE more bonkers than her.

On radio, I heard the John King/Pelosi interview recently where she said that the only information she had on Newt was in the public record.

But yes, if push comes to shove, Nancy will breach confidentiality as easily as she imposes it on the
finding out “what’s in the bill after we pass it”.

The only thing that hasn’t been tried against Newt, since already they once destroyed his reputation, forced him out of Congress, and now have used the ex-wife smears and even abortion threat rumors to her, is the old ELLSWORTH treatment not seen since the Nixon years. Mental instability. A raided file from somewhere. Something like that is all that is left should Newt become the nominee that could railroad Newt, but it’s improbable or Marianne would have spilled such beans. Nancy, go away. :)

Put up or shut up.

I like that style.

However Pelosi will not say anything else on the matter. Instead, a staffer who likely kept copies of every "rumor and unfounded allegation" associated with the "Ethics Investigation" will probably leak it to WaPO and NYT.

The left media will run with all of it over a period of several months.

“I know something you don’t know.”

Most people stopped playing that game after the third grade.

“The reason I take Pelosi’s threats seriously has to do with the number of anti-Newt Republicans serving in Congress.”

Precisely. You should. More will be revealed than Pelosi’s threat.
Only for the benefit of the lurkers here who really believe that FR welcomes free speech (lol), and for those who are being naively sucked into Newtieland, you might consider an alternate opinion about Newt Gingrich. He could become our next disgraced President.

As usual, I expect the Newties will respond as they always do. . . .with insults, rage, sarcasm, etc. Knock yourselves out.

What a publicity haw. Newt’s getting all the attention as a ‘former Speaker’. Everyone knows that’s HER title!!!

She’s just piggy-backing the GOP primaries for her fading celebrity.

About the only thing that Pelosi could say that might make me rethink my support of Newt would be if she said she had an affair with him.

I don't care what dirt they bring up - it won't matter one flip to me! What are they in our race to begin with and are they saying they have no dirt on mitt? LOL! They are all running scared - Newt vs Barry - too much for them/Barry to handle. He's not considered the mild guy on the block.

Even if the dirt is true - I JUST DON'T CARE! DC is dirty to begin with - so some dirt will rub off!

I wish we had a spokesperson that would come out and say - don't bother with the dirt - Newt's getting our vote no matter what! Let them know their tactics don't work any more.

Good response so far, but I don’t know why Newt’s response isn’t also...

“Hey, Nancy - I know something too. I know you’re party has been a huge failure. I know the democrat controlled Senate has passed a budget in over 1000 days. I know the majority of Americans don’t want that health care pile of crap you shoved down their throat. I know you’re a witch.”

Nancy if you got something on NEWT show it...or else...SHUT UP _itch...(not thinking witch)

With regard to Pelosi, I wish Gingrich would just say something like: “Anyone who has attained the position of Speaker of the House, and then tells the American people in all seriousness that ‘we must pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it,’ is not someone that American voters should ever take seriously about anything.” "

No more phone calls.....we HAVE a winner.

the number of anti-Newt Republicans serving in Congress

You mean the number of anti-American RINOs serving in the Congress.
