Whenever someone plays all coy like “I know something you don’t know, nah-nah-na-nah-nah” it’s always maddening, but when the subject of the withheld secret is disgraced former Speaker of the House, Newton Leroy Gingrich, and the holder of the keys to that mystery taunting the American electorate is House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi—who was on a House ethics committee that investigated Gingrich for a year and who looked at thousands of pages of documents—it’s got to be pretty explosive.

So far Pelosi has twice—not once, but twice—come right out and point-blank told the country that she knows “something” about Gingrich that insures that he will never become the President of the United States. As in never, ever, it ain’t gonna happen, no way, Jose, never, nope, sorry, uh-uh.

She even said it the second time after Gingrich suggested she would face legal action for violating House rules! What does she know? And when will she spill this magical Newt-slaying salt on that slimy amphibian?

From CNN’s John King, USA:

KING:  All right, not on the past, but let’s look to the future.  You make your case, there, passionately for President Obama.  But you also understand, it’s a tough reelection climate for any president, Democrat or Republican, in this economy.
Because of your history with Speaker Gingrich, what goes through your mind when you think about the possibility, which is more real today than it was a week or a month ago, that he would be the Republican nominee and that you could come back here next January or next February with a President Gingrich?

PELOSI:  Let me just say this.  That will never happen.

KING:  Why?

PELOSI:  He’s not going to be president of the United States.  This is - that’s not going to happen.  Let me just make my prediction and stand by it.  It isn’t going to happen.

KING:  Why are you so sure?

PELOSI:  There’s something I know.  The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him, that’s the prerogative.  I don’t even think that’s going to happen.

This morning on The Today Show, Gingrich shot back: “She lives in a San Francisco environment of strange fantasies and strange understandings of reality. I have no idea what’s in Nancy Pelosi’s head. If she knows something, spit it out. Tell us what it is. I have no idea what she’s talking about.”

Still, Pelosi has promised to reveal all, “When the time’s right.”
 

Oh god, please please let it be something like Steven Seagal’s “unique physiological reaction.”

(google that)

Newt gave President Clinton a blowjob and then lied about it to Congress.

“When the time’s right.” = “If Gingrich gets the GOP nomination.”

when the time is right= I don’t know jack

His real name is “Salamander.”

He’s really an alien lizard-person in a man suit, like those things from V

honestly, i support her sitting on this.  i hope he’s the nominee, he’s unelectable even with her info.  but she should sit on it until close to the end so they can’t replace him with an “independent”.

He looks like Benny Hill.

Funny, but not the most Machiavellian move on her part.  We all know she plays politics, but this makes her look like she is just playing politics and possibly discourages Republicans from nominating that rancid fucker.

Man, is it just me, or are all senior members of Congress just giving off an increasingly creepy uncanny valley vibe?  Pelosi looks/acts like some kind of automaton-muppet combo.

Pelosi a.k.a. Nostradamus

What could possibly be worse than the guy dumping his cancer-stricken first wife for a new/hotter gal? Maybe he and John Bolton are secretly married? Or did Newt spend some time in a booby-hatch? (A real one, I mean, rather than the GOP.) The mind boggles.

I don’t understand the point of this; now that Bachman and Cain have pulled out, Newt’s the best thing the Democrats have going. She should be donating money to him. Root for Newt!

She’s already released a treasure trove of documents on him from the investigation - at least, what was already in the public domain. Its hard to imagine any scandal worse than the ones we already know about. I loved when Barney Frank said “I did not think I had lived a good enough life to be rewarded by Newt Gingrich being the Republican nominee”.
