Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich responded to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, who said on Wednesday night on CNN's John King that Mr. Gingrich would never become President of the United States.
"There is something I know. The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him that's their prerogative," said Congresswoman Pelosi. "I don't even think that's going to happen."
Mr. Gingrich appeared on The Washington Times affiliated radio program "America's Morning News" and forcefully responded to Rep. Pelosi.
"There's almost a level of hysteria about the prospect of somebody who really wants to change Washington," said Mr. Gingrich to host John McCaslin.
"I have a simple challenge for Speaker Pelosi...you know, put up or shut up. I mean, I have no idea what she's talking about. I don't think she has any idea what she's talking about, but bring it on," he said.

Nor has she ever!
Million-dollar arm and a ten-cent head.
Sounds like blackmail to me.
Just makes me want to vote for him!
What’d you expect ?
Her head is 2/3s fiberglass.
“Her head is 2/3s fiberglass.”
And the rest of her is body putty.
>>Didnt she say something along these lines about 6 months ago claiming that with her access to classified information she knew of things which would be damaging - and promptly shut her mouth when Gingrich pointed out what she was claiming to be referring to was information illegal to disclose?...
There are a number of threads on the first threat she made and then backed off of.

And this is why we need Newt! Unafraid and will not be intimidated. The liberals will say anything to stop Newt! They are running scared.
I like Newt. He fights.
Anyone think there’s not a bucket load of skeletons in this old witch’s closet??
Thanks.
Not as long ago, as I thought.
Please do not use the phrase “putting out” in the same post as Piglousy. I just threw up in my mouth.
That “I don’t think she has any idea what she’s talking about” line will get under her skin. It’s a thing of beauty to behold.
Sounds more like criminal Blackmailing?
“I just think that when you are a left-wing Democrat, the prospect of a Gingrich presidency is really sort of like a nightmare,”
That’s the quote for the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pelosi is attempting to play the politics of personal destruction out in the open. Last time that game was played against Newt and his successor Livingston it was in the shadows by Hildebeest thanks to Craig Livingstone who had the FBI files on everyone and everybody whoever spent ten minutes in beltway politics.
Newt has been innoculated. There may have be a couple of items of dirty laundry yet to be revealed.
But Newt is in the position to use the Clinton playbook when it comes to dirty laundry.
When anything new comes out against him, he can always respond that is the same old stuff, it is old news, it doesn’t matter voters have got beyond that stuff a long time ago.
The interesting thing is that Newt will use Pelosi’s threat to his advantage.
He needs to use a little stronger language.
It appears like Pelosi is attempting to BLACKMAIL him.
Newt needs to challenge her more directly. Play the blackmail card now, why play it later?
It works to Newt’s advantage to make it appear that there is a conspiracy between Pelosi and the MSM to blackmail him but not until he gets the nomination.
Newt is a southern politician as were the Clintons and they understand the only thing they have to worry about is being caught in bed with a dead woman or a live boy.
Newt's not into beastiality.
