Nancy Pelosi: Case closed on Newt comments
By: Seung Min Kim January 26, 2012 01:54 PM EST
CAMBRIDGE, Md. — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday slammed the book shut on whether she knows private information about Newt Gingrich that could make the former speaker’s presidential bid go off the rails.
The House’s top Democrat, who was part of a panel in the 1990s that investigated Gingrich for ethics violations, repeatedly said she was talking about information that had already been disclosed.
“I have said over and over again, as far as Speaker Gingrich is concerned, I refer to the public record,” she told reporters here Thursday during the House Democrats’ annual retreat. “It’s a matter of public record.”
During a CNN interview earlier this week, Pelosi – who like Gingrich is a former House speaker – said “there’s something I know, the Republicans, if they chose to nominate him, that’s their prerogative. I don’t even think that’s going to happen.” That prompted Gingrich to respond that if Pelosi knew something, she should “spit it out” and that he has “no idea what’s in Nancy Pelosi’s head.”
Pelosi’s interview was the second time that one of her remarks stoked speculation whether she knew damning information about Gingrich that hadn’t already been publicly aired. She told Talking Points Memo in December that she “know[s] a lot about” Gingrich and said “not right here … when the time’s right” when asked to elaborate.
But on Thursday, Pelosi said her comments on Gingrich’s ethics history and his prospects on winning the presidency were spliced together in the media and led to a misinterpretation.

Stage 7 Dementia has settled in on Nancy P.
Come on Nancy. Give on what you know.
SEE??????? You have to fight them back at every turn..IMMEIDATELY..and they fold like a house of cards. Take the mike away from them. Newt knows it.
“Misinterpretation” my hind end. Spill it or zip it.
Nancy can be gotten to, too. The mafia princess also has skeletons in her closet.
I walked into the bank with my gun drawn, looked at everyone, then put the gun away.
What do you know !
Newt said, “Put up or shut up.”
She STFU.
Pelosi punked Romney hard with this thing. The Mittster is so stupid, he actually has an ad that says Republicans shouldn’t vote for Newt because Pelosi has something on him. Heckuva job, Mitt, using the wicked witch from the west as a character witness against Newt with Republicans. Showing Newt and Nancy as two lovebirds sittin’ on the bench promoting climate change would be more effective.
BoTOX uses BufoTOXIN.
I think it’s finally gone into her brain.
You are correct, challenge them and they fold.
Same as bullies everywhere... they are COWARDS.
I am sure the hatred for Gingrich by Pelosi is strong and deep. The thought of having to address Gingrich as the President has sent her into derangement.
Newt just probably privately reminded her what he knows about her.
Because you knew it wasn’t loaded and they did too.
Pelosi backed down yesterday and said she “had” nothing that wasn’t in the public record and now she wants the whole thing to go away. She probably heard from some lawyers, including, possibly, government legal counsel because I would suspect that her comments could have amounted to an ethics violation by a sitting congresscritter. And remember, the Dems aren’t in charge there anymore.
Dead tie.
[I always thought Colmes looked like Jiminy Cricket...minus the conscience]
It ain't over until your worthless ass is rotting in prison for certifying a ineligible candidate for POTUS.
E.
I swear their is nothing but a few rusty gears and a half dead battery upstairs in her. A total embarrassment and on the flip side an appropriate representative in the past for her districts in California.
Want to have a career in politics in California? Wish upon a star and wish to be like Pelosi.
Last month Nazi Pelosi claimed she had dirt on Newt. She was told to put up or shut up. She shut up.
Now again this week, she rehased the SOS. She was pig-slapped with demands of proof. Now she is shutting up again.
I’m taking a guess here and now that this botox beeyotch will make the same stupid claim in another 6 weeks.
Dumocrats are lame AND predictable.
