Gingrich: Pelosi 'Lied,' 'Despicable,' 'Dishonest,' 'Vicious,' 'Trivial'

Source: ABC News

In an interview with ABC News Radio’s Marcus Wilson, Gingrich, R-Ga., said Pelosi, D-Calif., “has lied to the House” in claiming that she was never briefed by the CIA about the Bush administration’s use of waterboarding and other harsh tactics.

"I think she has lied to the House, and I think that the House has an absolute obligation to open an inquiry, and I hope there will be a resolution to investigate her. And I think this is a big deal. I don't think the Speaker of the House can lie to the country on national security matters,” Gingrich said.

He continued: "I think this is the most despicable, dishonest and vicious political effort I've seen in my lifetime."

"She is a trivial politician, viciously using partisanship for the narrowist of purposes, and she dishonors the Congress by her behavior."

"Speaker Pelosi's the big loser, because she either comes across as incompetent, or dishonest. Those are the only two defenses,” Gingrich said. “The fact is she either didn't do her job, or she did do her job and she's now afraid to tell the truth.”

Thanks for clearing that up, Newt!

:thumbsup:

Whenever you want to see what the Repugnants are up to, just see what accusations they're throwing around.

Stupid, wrong, mean (in both senses of the word), and infuriating, but consistent.

If that's a virtue, then it's their only one.

It appears that ideology triumphed over thought or opportunism did.

Eventually he will see himself. And hopefully we will never hear another word from him again.

Apparently it's a very short list. :shrug:

I think gingrich is looking in a fucking mirror.

be counted. I'm hoping there's a complete witness list for the international courts when they get tired of the US doing nothing.

doesn't anybody ask them, "Lied? That's a pretty strong word isn't it?" Did the idiot Wilson even ask how the hell Gingrich would know what happened?

No body was allowed to say anybody in Bush's Crime Family lied!!

If Newty wishes to join Bushco in the Hague, that's fine with me.

political effort I've seen in my lifetime."

And who led the impeachment attack against Clinton? Hmmmmm?

Why the fuck is this 'never-gonna hold power again, thank god' hypocrite even allowed in front of a TV camera. Is the liberal media assisting his going-nowhere prez bid?

What follows is a series of key quotes from Gingrich’s prepared remarks that illustrate his deceptions.

Gingrich’s claimOur current energy import strategy is entirely a function of our own government’s anti- domestic energy policies. The United States government blocks the development of new energy sources and inhibits the use of existing energy and then explains that we will have a shortage of energy. It is an artificial, government imposed shortage not a naturally occurring phenomenon.

This is a gross distortion of reality. Our import strategy is mostly a function of the capitalistic nature of our oil industry, not of domestic energy policy. When oil prices were high, the oil industry lobbied hard (and largely successfully) for drilling subsidies and the opening of the outer continental shelf (OCS). But now that oil prices have fallen well off their peak, oil companies are stopping their domestic drilling in order to focus on more profitable foreign sources.

Put simply, oil companies and low oil prices are the reason that there’s not much domestic energy production.

Gingrich’s claim Make no mistake about it: This bill amounts to a $1-2 trillion energy tax levied on a struggling economy, which is destructive and wrong.

Carbon capitalism is not a tax. Gingrich is repeating a GOP talking-point that declares capitalism is taxation in the hopes of scaring people into believing that black is white and the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

In addition, Gingrich didn’t even read the entire Waxman-Markey bill and admits to that fact before even starting to read his written testimony (The statement is at about 2 minutes in the CSpan video of Gingrich’s testimony. He stopped at around page 230 of a 600+ page legislative draft - when the portion about carbon capitalism starts on page 322.

Gingrich’s claim Expect utility bill increases up to $3,128 per year per household.

Was he there to refute Pelosi's statement? If he was, how did he get in the room? Some sort of lifetime clearance for a Speaker? If he wasn't there, it's heresay, and he should shut his piehole, and go crawl back under his rock, and hunt for maggots.

And how would he even know if she was?

...........human piece of shit he is.




CHOOSE TO LOSE, GINGRICH/PALIN 2012!!!!!!!

position at Pepperdine.
Maybe there will be a chair at Libety U, though...

They stomp around long enough in front of the cameras and there just might be a Real Hearing on what happened from the time bush was told that Osama Bin Laden was determined to attack us. What was cheney doing being Mr. CIA himself. He was looking for excuses, not the truth.....

We damn sure need a special prosecutor, or whatever they are called now days, to get to the truth.

Nancy lied??? The bush bunch couldn't tell the truth - ever.... The repubs still believe the masses are stupid, therefore, they keep diggin'.

those squeaky clean repigs!!! NOT!!

Past and present--but hopefully we have a brighter future.

Someone who has been out of the loop for that long is not a news source, he is giving an opinion, which is not made clear by this article.

Oh, I see... Presidential ambitions.
