NEW YORK -- Newt Gingrich shot back at House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today, after Pelosi threatened to reveal details of the ethics investigation into the former House Speaker almost 13 years ago.
“I want to thank Speaker Pelosi for what I regard as an early Christmas gift,” Gingrich said during a press conference at Manhattan’s Union League Club Monday afternoon.
“If she’s saying that she’s going to use material that she developed while she was on the ethics committee,” Gingrich added, “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.”
The remark brought a quick response over Twitter from Nancy Pelosi’s staff.
“[Pelosi] was clearly referring to the extensive amount of information that is in the public record,” wrote her spokesman, Drew Hammill.
The back-and-forth began earlier today when the left-leaning website Talking Points Memo published an interview with Pelosi, in which she said, “One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich.”
The blog post was headlined, “Democrats Gleeful At Prospect of Running Against Gingrich.”
“I know a lot about him,” Pelosi told TPM. “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.”
The ethics investigation resulted in sanctions against Gingrich, and a fine.
Gingrich resigned as Speaker of the House in 1999. Pelosi later served as House Speaker, from 2007 until January, 2011.
The two appeared in a 2008 video encouraging action on global warming –- a move that has invited attacks from Gingrich’s opponents in the GOP field.
“We don’t always see eye-to-eye, do we Newt?” Pelosi said in the video.
“No,” Gingrich replied.


Thanks, Nancy Pelosi. You will do a great service to the smart electorates to reveal details of the ethics investigation into the former House Speaker Newt almost 13 years ago.
It's a public record that we the people ought to know. Coming from you, as the Minority Leader bear more credibility. I admire you being truthful.
Manny, Put the glue down...it's impairing your judgment!
where's the investigations on Waters, Weiner, Barney and Dodd and
OBOMBO big union and green company bailouts, Pelosi brother in law
and stock buying? Wrangel? how come the demos never investigate
their corrput going ons?
Locked in a room with Pelosi for a year composing an investigation! I would of slit my wrists seeing that face for a year. Ugh! From what I know about investigations, you don't do it behind closed doors, unless you have something to hide. She did say this info. was on "public record". Well! That's that. If John Doe citizen wants to read her "stuff", he or she can do so. Now, she needs to be investigated. Tit for tat.
Hillary and Obama are just alike. Their would be no difference if she was elected President. They come from the same school of thought..Only difference, she's not a racist..
Is there anyone who has been involved in politics, including politicians and their backers or that have been elected to public office or running for public office that has been or would be able to pass any sort of ethical scrutiny/test or could be trusted to do the " Right or Honest " thing or agree to make a decision that would be of benefit to everyone, especially since the " Lobbying/Lobbyist, Special Interest era of politics and government ?
My own personal opinion would be " Absolutely, Unequivocally NO "
We, those of us who consider ourselves as ordinary citizens, need to realize that there is and has been a " Corrupting, Paid " influence entrenched in government and government/congressional decision making for as long as there has been a government .
I love it. Newt doesn't bother denying that he is among the most corrupt politicians ever. Just threatens what will happen if his corruption is more clearly revealed. Classic Newt. Our country is screwed.
I'm sure, Newtie,that you are thinking twice about defending anything you did ethically just to clarify your innocence.Your whining about what Pelosi knows and threatens to say has riled you up worse than Dick Cheeeney and the secret Energy deal.
If you really think your past is off limits,then that should go for all candidates and incumbents.But you see,Newtie,you are in the public eye,just like Bill Clinton was,when you had a woody for him.Front runners have to take the heat,about their past as well as what their goals are for the future of our country.
If you don't want to explain what is so private,that you got reprimanded and caused you to resign,what makes you so sure we want another coverup if you are elected?
We are waiting for your explanation from God's point of view.You're in the oven now.How do you like it? Roasted,broiled or fried?
Hopefully you will deflect the answer during your next debate so it will continue to haunt you throughout the campaign.
Newt Gingrich is a snake in the grass. Vote for him at all of our peril.
Its funny how perception is all perspective. The conservatives actually believe in their small but still beating hearts that Newt never did anything wrong. Its weird. And they think that he tells them he is smart so he must be. He is a dumb ass. He can't remember what his positions are from day to day so he constantly contradicts himself. But he does it in such a convoluted fashion that people can't recognize it. I truly have no idea what he stands for other than NEWT. He has no convictions, he has no principles, he has no scruples, and he has no ideas. He is like Barney Frank so aptly labled him, the Wizard of Oz. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
He was also the Speaker of the House during the only time in my memory that this Nation had a balanced Federal Budget! Read Artical 1, Section7, Clause 1 of the Constitution if you are uncertain just what that means!
pelosi got caught insider trading, she stopped American somoa from a getting a min wage raise( her hubby owns pineapple plantaions there ) she cost taxpayers hundreds of millions flying a 200 seat jet back and forth to calif( a smaller jet wasnt suitable for her heiness). She is one of the most crooked people in DC, and there is a ton of them, congress and the senate, oh dont forget the muslim in the white house. to bad there isnt a open season on politicans ( before deer season).I'm sick of our government and their believing they are better then Avg. Americans.The bastards work for us ,not the other way around.Cut their pay, cut their benefits, term limits are way past being needed. A pissed off USMC vietnam disabled combat Veteran
So what does that say about both of them? Neither want taxes raised on 'themselves.' So why in the world would anyone vote for people who don't represent the lifestyle of 90% of the country? Why would somebody vote for a Trust Fund Baby for president? Huntsman/Paul would be a reasonable run but they just don't have those PAC bucks and backing from the 1%. Why? Because they aren't rubbing elbows with the puppetmasters. These two get NO representation from MSM, and that's across the board. So Repods, who's your daddy that you can't even get who YOU, the 90% want for a candidate? Because these two aren't warmongers, it's that simple. The Newt has a price, they will meet it and he will do as he's told.
I stand and salute you Gunny262, those of us who fought for the rights of Democracy and then to have the "Pelosis" in Washington use those rights for their own purpose and gain. I'm sick of what we have for a president and what we have to select from. Anyone could beat Obama but that "anyone" isn't what America needs. If people would get their heads out of their arses and quite voting party, race, class or anything BUT what is best for America we could turn this around. Start by keeping the unions out of Washington, they are obsolete anyway.
Yeah but she's a democratic liberal hack....so it's OK...
Mr. Angry Gunny, Last I looked this is a democracy, it is a" Government of the people, by the people and for the people". Democratically elected people. You get a vote, use it. Calling the president a muslim is ignorant. The level of discourse here is reminiscent of "talk radio". Get a life, read a book and start to think for yourself.
Newt is gonna rip nancy a new ass!!
This entire country hates that Calif. whack job bitch!
Saddly not her constituants, remember where she's from! Her district is populated by junkys, pushers, pimps, professional ladies, holywood types and every other kind of ne'er do wells. Every two years they are drug out, hosed off, and driven to the polls to vote! I do believe that her husband is in the Tuna business!
don't forget her winery!!! where she held a million dollar funraiser!
but she cut off water to farmers to save a bug! i bet she didn't cut
off the water to her winery! old lying corrput hag!
This just proves how utterly unserious these clowns really are about leading. If I were a Republican I would be both furious and concerned by this circus because they have misled thier electorate into believing they were going to make a serious run at the White house, when it's now clear that it was just a publicity stunt the whole time.
OBOMBO is the king clown!
Ron Paul can't win the nomination - they conservative right won't allow it. Huntsman is too smart, Perry, Cain and Bachmann are to dumb. Santorum is too boring. Gingrich know he can't win because of all his baggages so he is taking advantage of the GOP nomination process to sell some books and fatten his speaking fees. So Mitt wins by default. Huckleby must be kicking himself for not running.
Women don' t like The Newt. A man is judged on how he treats the women and children in his life. Nuff said. Furthermore, taking 6 mil from Fannie/Freddie between 08 and 09 guarantees that he was fully involved in that whole scam. His narcissism is legendary. Pompous Ass.
didn't seem to bother women too much when Clinton reffered to Monicas fellatio as her having sex not him! Old news only the far left partisans still mention such things!
spoken like a true chauvinist,"didn't seem to bother women too much", wow can you be more evasive, parrot?
Bob,
please read and learn before posting. You see, tedcrawford's post is actually rather correct, because if you ever chose to actually look into this...You would find that Bill Clinton was elected for his second term by a LARGER percentage of women than he recieved when he ran for his first term. So, AFTER Bill Clinton used the most powerful office in the world to partake in cigar shoving and dress staining with an impressionable young intern, AFTER HE LIED about it to millions of Americans on national TV, AFTER he then tried to debate on what the meaning of "is" is...AFTER he embarrassed and humiliated his wife in front of the world, MORE WOMEN voted for him. LOL!!! So, using deductive logic, it must not have effected women that much, afterall, a larger portion of women voted for him AFTER his scandal than before. Study up, parrot.
Spin it, Roanoke1, just like the turd on Faux News taught you. Will you take a cracker,Parrot, for your reward?
Maybe, we will send a couple "Black Panthers" to yo' parrot place, come election day. Than use stem cell to resurrect your buddy Dick Nixon, so you will have a viable candidate.
Oh bob, you are truly pathetic, yes? LOL!!!
You can't form a single argument, other than to call names and make rather silly, asinine comments regarding stem cells and Dick Nixon (wow, you libs are f'n nuts, huh?) Your failure to provide any kind of argument shows you for what you are, just an ignorant driveling liberal parrot, who knows nothing about the issues but throws around his pseudo-intellectualism all the while perpetuating your own pathetic stink. When I get arguments like yours, I already know I won that point. Once the libs start name calling, this is the conservatives' cue that he has won the argument, and the lib has resorted to his only true tactic... juvenile insults. LOL!!! I love it, please post more, so I can keep having fun!!
. You belittle the female gender and lower them to be mere statistics, typical chauvinist. "most people like it so it must be right" is your banner. You do not take into account the population or voter roles, the political climate during both elections, but "suppose" you are right. You have no educatiuon.
Newt did the same thing with his recent answer to children from lower income. Stop belittling groups and you may find some justice in your life.
And you to think others are pathetic shows your ignorance.
Spin your argument with "rather right" than tell me you have a compelling argument worth a honorable response? If it was "rather right" than their must be a opposing view in your mind, but you do not have the ability to state it, and only comment on your biased mentality. Look up rather as a adjective, than tell me how it relates to your post, other than to spin, baby, spin, ala Faux News, and Tricky Dicky.
You really don't believe what you are saying.
Bob, have you been using some of my taxdollars to smoke a little green before you post?? Because your posts are rather disconnected from reality and don't really make sense...
Again, notice how you never actually debate ANY of the points I brought up, from earlier posts on the black panthers to the recent post in which I used factual unarguable statements regarding Bill Clinton and the percentage of women voters that re-elected him. See Bob, THAT is a fact. A FACT that is not argued by dems or repubs, because it is a hardcore quantitative statistical FACT. MORE women voted for Clinton AFTER the Lewinsky scandal. FACT. That is not spin, as you call it, simply trying to deflect from the issue because you don't know what you are talking about. And then you act crazy and irrational by accusing me of being chauvinistic, because I used a statistic that involved female voters in my argument??? You Bob, are devoid of the ability to comprehend, which is typical of most dems. It is YOU who obviously has no education, and it is said. It makes me wonder what all of my taxdollars funding public education all these years really went to. So, being uninformed, you lash out and call names and blame Fox news. Don't you see? You are just a mouthpiece for something you don't even understand?
Roanoke1, Head Parrot, read it and weep, your facts stink, and you know it. This refutes your comment you have posted numerous times, and it has been refuted many times. Evidently you can't handle the truth.
How long did the democrats
hold a supermajority?
I was under the impression it
was for about 6 months. From when Franken was sworn in until Brown was sworn in.
If anyone'd care to enlighten me.
Additional
Details
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Franken
In 2008, Franken
narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman, by 312 votes, after
a mandatory statewide manual recount. Coleman contested the outcome in court,[2]
but the Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously upheld Franken's victory on June 30,
2009.[3] Franken was sworn in to the Senate on July 7, 2009.[4][5]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Brown
Brown was sworn
in to office on February 4, 2010, by Vice President Joe Biden, in his capacity
as President of the Senate, on the floor of the Senate.[53] As a Class I
Senator, his term will last until January 3, 2013.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermajori…
But you will continue fabricating and falsely accusing, that is your nature, and the nature of your political view.
Bob, the driveling liberal bleeding heart Obama-zombie,
Yeah, again, you skirt the issue by deflecting. Name me ONE republican that voted FOR Obamacare???? You cannot, because no one did. This is how Obamacare was passed, by STRICT party-lines WITHOUT needing any support from the opposition party. LOL!!!! The issue is not the mere length of time that Democrats had a supermajority, it is the damage they were able to do while they had this supermajority. So, continue to spin and play semantics. My point was, that they had plenty of time to pass Obamacare, but THEY NEVER ONCE implemented a budget. Supermajority or not, until the 2010 midterms, Democrats CONTROLLED THE HOUSE, THE SENATE, AND THE PRESIDENCY. AND THEY NEVER PASSED A BUDGET. Please stop playing sematics and silly games, you are waaaay too transparent. Your party is failing, as shown by Obama's horrible approval ratings, the lowest of any incumbent EVER that hopes to be re-elected. Your pseudo-intellectualism is showing, sorry...
So, now you are pulling a "Blogo", deny deny, deny. Parrot, you or anyone can go to your newsvine comments. Thank the constitution, and free press for transparancy. Would you like cheese on that cracker?
In the interest of Justice, American style, I have posted the complete video, for all. http://www.eusccr.com/nov4footage.htm.
It is interesting to note the camera man was a professional who was paid to be at the scene, and actually lives in Cal.. , what a great set-up, hire a camera guy, than have your Repug poll watcher set the scene. Faux News at their best.
Here is another account of the whole video, http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/full-video-new-black-panthers-scene-
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110726161140AAJ4ILf, remember the non-partisan budget commitee in 2009? the one that was eestablished by Congressional agreement to pass the Bush Tax Relief and Unemployment Extension. The agreement was that the budget would not be voted on before the commitee's work was done. Of course the Repugs. dragged their feet, so the Congress, with a Dem. super majority for six months, would look bad, for the upcoming elections. Spin on baby, Parrot.
Bob, the ignorant mindless Obama-zombie no-nothing,
From wikipedia (I guess you will just claim that Fox and Wiki are now in cahoots, and made this entire thing up, right??? WOW, Bob, stop drinking that Kool-Aid, its affecting your brain):
"The conduct for which members of the New Black Panther Party were accused of voter intimidation took place on Election Day in November 2008, at a polling station in a predominantly African-American, Democratic voting district of Philadelphia.[1] Two members of the New Black Panther party, Minister King Samir Shabazz, and Jerry Jackson, stood in front of the entrance to the polling station in uniforms that have been described as military or paramilitary.[2][3][4] Minister King Shabazz carried a billy club, and is reported to have pointed it at voters while both men shouted racial slurs,[5] including phrases such as "white devil" and "you're about to be ruled by the black man, cracker."[6] The incident drew the attention of police, who around 10:00 am, sent King Samir away in part because of his billy club. Jackson was allowed to stay, in part because he was a certified poll watcher.[7] Stephen Morse, a journalist and videographer, who upon arriving at the scene, pulled out a video camera and focused on Samir Shabazz. Morse turned over the video of the incident to ElectionJournal.org.[8] The incident gained national attention after being uploaded to YouTube.[2]
No complaints were filed by voters about the incident, although poll watchers witnessed some voters approach the polls and then turn away, apparently in response to the New Black Panther Party members.[9]
The Department of Justice became aware of the incident on Election Day and started an inquiry. Under the Bush administration, a criminal investigation into the incident was started, but later dropped.[10][11] Instead, in January 2009, less than two weeks before the Bush administration left office, the civil rights division of the Department of Justice filed a civil suit under the voting rights act against four defendants, namely, Minister King Samir Shabazz, Jerry Jackson, NBPP chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz, and the NBPP itself. The lawsuit accused them of using uniforms, racial insults and a weapon to intimidate voters and those who were there to assist them.[2] Four career attorneys, Spencer Fisher, Christian Adams, Robert Popper and Christopher Coates signed the memo that supported the case against the four defendants.[12][10] The case remained open when the Obama administration took office a few weeks later."
Bob, do you see how you are nothing but a liar??? You see you are just a liberal parrot? No mention of Fox anywhere. Notice how the videographer sent this to Electionjournal.org, NOT FOX, you idiot.
Either way, its nice to see that you are OK with two white KKK members standing in front of a voter polling station, in FULL GARB, carrying weapons, and using racial slurs against blacks while they are attempting to VOTE. YOU ARE A FAILURE BOB, and YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A RACIST. You represent what is wrong with this country. Good stuff Bob, carry on...
Bob the mouthpiece,
Here is the guy you are sticking up for (King Samir). Here is the guy that was wearing a military uniform standing outside a voter polling booth wielding a billy club: " We didn’t come out here to play. There is too much serious business going on in your black community to be sliding through south street with white, dirty cracker whores on your arms. What’s a matter with you black man, you got a doomsday with a white woman on your arm. We keep begging white people for freedom. No wonder we’re not free. Your enemy can not make you free fool. You want freedom you’re going to have to kill some crackers. You’re going to have to kill some of their babies."
So, Bob, way to go, you pathetic racist...
(The sound of crickets chirping? Victory music) LOL!!!!
Here, Parrot read the whole article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panther_Party_voter_intimidation_case, only a mouthpiece picks and chooses what they want heard. Typical parrot, " I only like the sunflower seeds ", guess you don't like cheese. I defend any man's/ woman's actions when provoked. Unlike you, I believe and defend the Constitution.
Boobie,
Yes I did read the entire article. All the way to the very end, finishing with the last sentence in which the head of the Black Panther Party refers to Fox News as "Fox Jews." LOL!!! So, yep, he sounds like the typical racist liberal to me, which explains your racism as well, I guess. LOL!!
You believe that a man that is an admitted racist who has espoused the killing of white babies and is a member of a solidified anti-white movement should be standing and pacing outside of a voter polling station with a billy-club using racial slurs??? LOL!!! Yep, sounds like the typical racist liberal to me...
Please Bob, try harder...
So why do you use bits and pieces of info, about something that you know nothing about, to prove your right?
Post on Parrot.
Parrot, this site has a informative statement and actual reports by the civil rights commission, it is apparent to me after reading the testimony, that this case was blown way out of proportion, at least in the eyes of the civil rights commission, and the proper action was taken by authority's from the cops' to the Justice Department. If the Parrot has a problem with that, the parrot should take their case on personally with the proper authority's. http://mediamatters.org/research/201007070020
"You believe that a man that is an admitted racist who has espoused the killing of white babies and is a member of a solidified anti-white movement should be standing and pacing outside of a voter polling station with a billy-club using racial slurs??? LOL!!! Yep, sounds like the typical racist liberal to me...", you said it not me.
Thats right Bob, I saw all that I needed to on the video. I saw all that I needed to when I saw King Samir advocating the killing of white babies, and then hes standing in front of a voter station with a billy-club, and voters actually walk away. Nice try on deflecting from the issue to defend your racism... Your right, I did say it, because it's true. Later bigot. LOL!
Parrot, only likes sunflower seeds. Of course you would not want to comment on the actual testimony before the civil rights commision, the one that is non- partisan, and noted in the wikipedia article that you brought up.
By all means, let us review the dozens of trumped-up charges that were thrown at the Speaker, and by whom. And the fact that only one paperwork violation stuck. And what became of the Democratic activists who tailed his car to eavesdrop on his cell phone calls - as I recall someone went to jail over that. If Ms. Pelosi wants to talk about Congressional ethics, then let's do so, especially the practices that prevailed during the forty years that the Democrats ran Congress before the Contract with America, such as routinely exempting itself from the laws it inflicted on the public.
True! If memory serves I think it was 42 of 43 charges were found without merrit and the last was even reduced!
He should compare budgets with her! He had four that were balanced she didn't even have one for the last two years!
Seems to me he admitted lying to the ethics commitee, and was found guilty on one count. So he was like bad news to the Republicans, and was the first Speaker of the House to ever step down. Nice spin there, parrot.
He would have not had to step down, if he did not lie to the ethics commitee.
LOL I just love it! It's only a matter of time before ol' Newt joins Cain in the 'Corner of Shame". Newt just can't keep his lying mouth shut and thank goodness for public records!
Right, like your concerned with "records"....It's funny how it's ONLY republican records your concerned with...why is that? Is it because the records of the liberal democrats would make you look like the hypocrite you are...
Why does anyone even listen to the "Holloween Queen". She is just the next in line that Obama wants to use to cause issues with anyone who will beat him (that is anyone). They got rid of the one who might take black votes away from "BO" and now the one with the inside info and intelligence to embarras "BO" in a debate. Perry did himself in so Mit Romney is next with an underhanded attack on him regarding his religion. No one wants to talk about "BO" in NY while in his 20s and what he was doing. I have mentioned that a couple of times but the "BO" lovers avoid that like a bad smell on the sole of their shoe as they try and walk across the lily white carpet of their democratic party.
Obombo and Pelosi and Reid and Frank and Barney and Waters and
Wrangel and Weiner and the liberal demos have exposed just how
radical and progressive socialist they are and corrput and lying
hypocrites! they spout off all this oh the poor sick and elderly and
the save the earth from big bad oil and they are scamming us with
green jobs and bailouts and payoffs and passing regulations to kill
jobs and making money off healthcare stocks! what a bunch of
liberal left wing loonies yet they continue to spew the same lies
to the democrat voters who have fallen for this for decades!
wake up america stop believing these Aholes who could care
less about getting you out of poverty cause that's where they want
you to stay with big government and more promises they can't keep!
Ervin... excellent truthful post!
What an ass!
Will somebody please tell Scarecrow to throw another bucket of water on the Wicked Witch of the West........
I call them the Liberals of OZ......Dorothy Pelosi, Scarecrow Biden, Tin Man Obama, Lion Reid......they are always on the look out for more tax dollars for their pet projects .
I see the clueless and brainless are out in force today.
Get the truthful facts before you start ranting for a change.
Liberal democrats will be upset with your post....hope you have virus protection...
I cant stand hearing the same BS from the media regergitaded by every day people. It is sooo painfully obvious that Ron Paul would make an excellent president, yet the sheeple just keep doing what they are told by rush, hannadi, ect.. This is not american idol, do some homework like big kids and make your own desicion. I have faith in you kids.
Ron Paul, whether we like it or not, will never be President.
The Dem voters will attack him for being anti-big-government.
The Republican voters will attack him for wanting to make friends with our current enemies, like Iran.
I wonder how many young intern Pelosi had under her wing(or should I say desk) over the years she has been bilking the American people? The look on her face was the same that Grace had on her face when she farted on DWTS when asked about inside trader information and if she and her husband had been taking advantage of the information prior to its release. Pelosi needs to go home to a retirement center and Reid needs to go home to the whore houses his mother cleaned at. In fact all the poloticians in Washington need to go home and retire or get a job (good luck with that one since they ruined it for everyone else). We have a "create jobs Czar" who was appointed by "BO" who is the CEO of GE who just moved the company to Beijing and created 3500 jobs there. It makes you want to go "Hummmmmmmmm........
Pelosi's a dirtbag, always have been and always will be. She's always been, along with Reed and Obuma, out to steal from the hard working citizens of this country and give it to the bums of this country.
You have to be absolutely stupid, ignorant, and retarded to want Obama back for another term. If you Koolade drinking idiots on the left don't see what those jerks are doing to our country, then you don't have the intelligence to vote!! "Occupy Wall Street" compared to "The Tea Party", that's like comparing Charles Manson to Tim Tebow. You lefties are the most stupid people I've EVER seen. Now......Go smoke some donkey pole.
All Newt Gingrich and Republicans would have to do is threaten to run an ad with Pelosi, whose record shows that her hand is always in the till (i.e. insider D.C. trading).
Pelosi is nothing, if not arrogant . She thinks the rules apply to Newt Gingrich and not herself and her Democrat cronies.
How about some proof?
Too much time spent listening to rush limbaugh my man. Try broadening your horizons.
Leona is a hit and run poster- she continually posts mis statements or outright lies and if called out never responds
paxil,
I know you disagree with everything I say but that doesn't give you a right to call me a liar.. I get the facts from reading. You get your facts right here, from the liberal spin machine called Msnbc.
READ UP, FOR A CHANGE, instead of calling the facts lies, you might become informed for the first time.
"Pelosi had a conflict of interest because she and her investor husband, Paul Pelosi, bought stock in Visa, the credit card company based in San Francisco, in March 2008 while a bill that would limit the fees credit card companies could charge companies was pending in the House."
"The Pelosis bought Visa stock three times: 5,000 shares at $44 each in an initial public offering March 18, 2008; 10,000 shares after the IPO at $64 on March 25, and 5,000 shares at $86 on June 4."
"The credit card fees bill, by then-House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., passed his committee on Oct. 3, 2008, but did not reach the full House. Pelosi was speaker at the time and controlled which legislation came to the floor."
MannyG, with that name I suppose you reap the benefits of the admin and tax payers of this country with your cheesy liking of a dirtbag and her politics
Pelosi is a fine one to be discussing ethics. She's the political equivelant to a crack whore.
Nice tony, a typical far right wingnut response. How about showing us all some evidence to back up your ranting.
Why aren't the finding of the committee that investigated the newt in the public record? What is he hiding?
The findings ARE in the public record! The deliberation records of that, or any other, ethics committee are not for public consumption by law!
