Pelosi: I’ve Got Dirt on Gingrich; Update: Gingrich: Bring it On!

By Doug Powers  •  December 5, 2011 01:46 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

In a recent interview, Nancy Pelosi lobbed a “nice campaign ya got there — shame if something were to happen to it” unveiled threat toward Newt Gingrich:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is holding back some information on Republican Newt Gingrich that could detract from his presidential campaign, according to a report published Monday.

“One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich,” Pelosi told Talking Points Memo. “When the time is right. … I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. A thousand pages of his stuff.”

That’s stupefying. Can you believe it? Nancy Pelosi was on an ethics committee?

Hey Nancy, if you’re talking about this… we already know:

null

Update: Gingrich responds:

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.

It does my heart good to know there are selfless public servants like Nancy Pelosi who are willing to spend time working on ethics committees in order to help keep our government free from corruption collect material to subsequently hold over the heads of political opponents.

    And what will happen to the swamp queen if she is convicted of the charges?

    Will she do a perp walk? Will she be forced to resign?

    No. Absolutely nothing.

    So Gingrich is just bluffing.

    Let’s see Perry, Bachmann, Cain, and now Gingrich. Not a single multi pronged coordinated attack on Mitt Romney from the Dems, the pundits or the media.

    Weird, huh?

    Not to mention, she will just give the info to Axelrod and it will get out there and she will say she didn’t do it.

    But honestly, Is Newt ethical? Uh no. Ethical people don’t cheat on their wives, lie about their pastor, fake their birth certificate, or start their political carreers in the living room of unrepentant domestic terrorists.

    Unlike the treatment I receive on this blog? Please. My statements are parsed and gone over with a fine-tune comb. Hell, if I don’t comment on every thread I’m assumed to have condoned some insane action on the left.

    But I’ll defend myself on the merits. I’ll link to stories that prove my point. You resort to name calling and not actually discussing the topic at hand (how far-left of you!). And that topic of hand is your 100% false statements that I will point out, when necessary.

    Enjoy your evening.

    I’m sorry, but the phrase is “topic at hand.” How can I take anything you say serious after such a ridiculous error. Sure, I got your point, but dismissing you through some small detail is more important than actually addressing your issue.

    I’ve never seen this, but I know that it’s possible. Regardless, it’s not right. If I see this happening on a thread that you’re not commenting on, then I’ll defend you. I’ve read plenty of comments from you condemning leftist things.

    So, the media attacked mitt for being a flip flopper? Wasn’t that the same attack on mccain while mitt was being attacked for being a Mormon? Oh wait, maybe the media forgot about the Mormon thing? Hmmm, at least for now it seems.

    Thanks for being fair, corkie. That’s all I ask. I know many people view me in the same light as Ilovemytwofrontteeth but that is just because people like to be dismissive of people they disagree with.

    I tend to agree that there is a faction of the far-left that is anarchist/socialist and downright mean and unreasonable. I’ll call them on it.

    However, when claims are made on this blog that are insane/factually incorrect, I’ll do the same. John Deaux may hate me and call me names, but he’ll be better in the future at posting factual statements. So that’s good for all of us.

    If people truly care about my take on every possible issue, ask. I’ll be honest. I promise. No need to assume my silence means anything.

    That was after he went into name-calling for no reason. He couldn’t defend his position. So I was done discussing the topic with him for the night.

    I don’t hate you and I didn’t call you names. Please reread my post with the same fine-toothed comb you read the original and you’ll see that I never specifically directed anything at you.

    I used a figure of speech and you took it literally in an attempt to discredit me. I’m sure you make a trip to the emergency room to have your ass surgically reattached every time you type “lmao”, right?

    I am quite sure that the media will get away with its attacks on Mormons and NOT have to worry about retribution from Hairy-less Reid, who is ALSO a “practicing” Mormon. I haven’t read the Book of Mormons, but I’m pretty sure there’s nothing in there that states you get to lie to the entire nation and feel good about it. Also, that you get to ‘diss’ the smelly tourists in the US Capitol Building in the summertime and get away with it. Imagine if Boooosh had said something like that!

    Rezko…Bill Ayers….Rev Wright. I also found out he grew up as a Muslim..went to a madrasa. These stories were all over the news.

    You’re right. Nothing was dug up. Nothing was ever said negatively about Obama.

    I’m certainly no fan of Pelosi, but in Gingrich supporting amnesty for illegals (‘but, it really isn’t “Amnesty” because we’re not using that word’..) may cozy him up to the USCoC (US Chamber of Commerce) and the other big business types in the Republican establishment, but he just scared away more than half of the American electorate. Gingrich, you sir, are a worn out tool — it’s well past time for you to retire. I suspect you can do America far less harm by spending time on the golf course than in the halls of government. Please GO AWAY.

    Good grief, do we even need any dirt on Gingrich? He’s a bigger flip-flopper than Romney, and that’s saying something! A political whore who’s been known to chase other whores. The fact that he’s leading in the polls shows the really sad state of the GOP electorate.

    The mainstream media brought up Rezko Ayers and Rev Wright or the conservative media did? Last I checked, the mainstream media took a collective nap during the entire campaign season when it came to investigating ANYTHING that could possibly reflect poorly on Obama. Unless of course you said his middle name, in which case they launched into high dudgeon…

    Now thats too funny. Just a faction of the far left huh? After going over this with a fine tune combover I think “far left”is a definition of anarchist/socialist/communist and downright mean and unreasonable.

    You “tend” to agree but not always and you “call” them on it? Maybe a phone call to ask where the next meeting is.
