For those who missed it:
- Last Friday Nancy Pelosi told Talking Points Memo that she had all sorts of investigative dirt available on current GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich. Specifically, “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.”
- So… Newt Gingrich responded today by thanking Pelosi for the early Christmas present and noting “…if she’s suggesting she’s going to use material that she developed while she was on the ethics committee, that is a fundamental violation of the rules of the House and I would hope that members would immediately file charges against her the second she does it.”
- Annnnnd now we’re being told (via Weasel Zippers) – it would be cruel* of me to use the word ‘frantically’ – that what the former Speaker of the House really meant by her comments to TPM was that there was plenty of public record information about Newt Gingrich available. Not that there was any private dirt. Nope. Not at all.
- Representative Pelosi then went on to reveal that the Red Sox had won the 2004 World Series and that Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been indicted on felony charges.
I think that we can safely score this one as a win for Team Newt. Seriously, why did Nancy Pelosi not resign after 2010, again?

*’Cruel;’ not ‘inaccurate.’
We need more Pelosi in 2012 for the GOP to win overwhelming majorities in both Houses.
Moe it’s because she’s not that smart. She literally can’t see the handwriting on the wall that idiot Democrats “Need not Apply” they are going to have to be MUCH SMARTER in the future if they wish to survive.
Miller’s description forever burned into my brain–she’s a ‘Bond villain–Pelosi Galore’.
Catseye, if they were “much smarter”, they wouldn’t be democrats…..
THe big advantage of Conservatives is that LibDems live in a glass bubble: the atmosphere is entirely of their own making and the only things that reach their ears are the sounds that they make themseves. As a consequence, they have very little idea how badly their mouthings and posturings play outside of so-blue-it-hurts enclaves like upperclass SF and the MSM. Pelosi is a great example, so is Obama demanding Congress stay in session- jsut before he jets off on a 14-day Hawaiian vacation.
Moe, you should have gone with the:
*???
*Profit!
Joke, but your last bullet point was just as funny.
I think she was just reminded by her colleagues that the appropriate way to use the dirt is with anonymous leaks to the press.
