And now from that living example of what happens from having too much botox, we now have someone desperate to unceremoniously insert herself into the process of our deciding who it is that will be the Republican eventually selected as the party’s candidate to face off against Barry “Almighty.” And just who might that someone be? Why, none other than our illustrious House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, also fondly referred to as the "Wicked Witch of the West." Ms. Pelosi has now come out and made it quite clear that for the time being she will be holding back some less than flattering information on Republican Newt Gingrich for release at what she feels will be the best possible time. Information that could detract from his presidential campaign, this according to a report published Monday. Being barely able to control herself, old "Stretch” said, “One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich.” She went on to say that, "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." So old Nancy seems to be barely able to restrain herself from doing what it is that she does best.
Democrats, being ever the pathetic sleaze-bags that they are, and very well versed in the fine art of the politics of personal destruction, have suggested if Gingrich does end up as the Republican nominee, it would prove to be very beneficial to the Democrat Party. One such pathetic advocate of such a theory, is soon-to-retire Bawney Fwank, who said, " He would be the best thing to happen to Democrats since Barry Goldwater." Old "Stretch" Pelosi stated that Fwank "spoke for a lot" of Democrats. "I like Barney Franks quote the best, where he said "I never thought I'd live such a good life that I would see Newt Gingrich be the nominee of the Republican Party,'" she said. And then of course we have, adding his voice to the chorus, that perpetual whiner, Rep. James "I'm a racist" Clyburn, who also served with Gingrich and now holds a newly invented position of power as the "assistant" minority leader in the House. A position that was essentially made up for him in order to keep him from playing the race card against his fellow Democrats. He charged Gingrich with lacking the temperament to be president. "He tends to fly off the handle. He will say almost anything in order to get a charge. I'm sure that he's not serious when he says a lot of these things," Clyburn said on MSNBC.
So in responding to Pelosi's thinly veiled threat, Newt said that a threat from ex-Speaker Pelosi to disclose information she learned while serving on an ethics committee investigating him during his time as Speaker of the House would "totally abuse the ethics process" and violate rules of the House of Representatives. "I want to thank Speaker Pelosi for what I regard as an early Christmas gift," Gingrich said at a press conference in Manhattan Monday. But this should come as no surprise as this is the way Democrats operate. They view the rules, any rules, as simply not applying to them. Gingrich denounced the threat from Pelosi, who is now the minority leader in the House, as "a fundamental violation of the rules of the House," and said that if Pelosi were to disclose details of the investigation, it would expose the "tainted ethics process the House was engaged in." He also called for the House to condemn Pelosi if she were to reveal anything from the ethics probe. But the likelihood of such a thing actually taking place is most likely pretty remote. It’s simply much easier to let this loudmouth get away which her blatant disregard for the applicable rules at the detriment of the entire system. The fact is that anything Gingrich might have been guilty of, pales in comparison when placed in the context of all of the shadiness perpetrated by Ms. Pelosi.
In her responding to Gingrich's comments, old Nancy chose to return volley through some idiotic spokesman who said that the ex-Speaker was "clearly referring to the extensive amount of information that is in the public record, including the comprehensive committee report with which the public may not be fully aware." Oh really, so that's what the old bitch, whose face is stretched so damn tight it should split, was referring to. Gee, you could have fooled me, because it sounded so much different to me the first time around. It sounded remarkably like a threat that she had something new that she was planning to release, something not in the public record, and at just the right time. We know that Gingrich agreed to a $300,000 fine and admitted that he submitted inaccurate statements to the ethics committee, but he maintained Monday that the majority of the charges brought "were repudiated as false." Gingrich went on to say that Pelosi's suggestion that she would reveal information from the investigation only served to underscore the fact that the ethics charges were nothing if not politically motivated. "It tells you how capriciously political the committee was," Gingrich said. And there is a lot of validity to his rebuttal. Democrat are skill practitioners of scorched earth tactics.
