As this whole, “Who loved torture the most, the liberal leather queen Nancy Pelosi or the sadistic dungeon-masters at the CIA?” debate rages, we know we’re getting closer to the truth because both sides say the other is lying. And now this fellow “Newt,” who will not sue Twitter, will instead pick a fight with Nancy Pelosi because that is a fine way of keeping this very sensitive issue nonpartisan.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is engaging in a “despicable, dishonest and vicious political effort” to withhold what she knew about the CIA’s aggressive interrogation techniques, Newt Gingrich said Friday, in what amounts to the harshest criticism yet leveled at the California Democrat.
“She is a trivial politician, viciously using partisanship for the narrowest of purposes, and she dishonors the Congress by her behavior,” Gingrich also said in the blistering interview.
Well, baah. THROW THEM ALL DOWN A WELL. The really disappointing thing about this whole contretemps is that it distracts from the real issue, which is whatever credit card tomfoolery Barack Obama is railing against this week.
Gingrich rips into Pelosi [Political Ticker]
Oh Newt, say it isn’t so! The Speaker of the House a trivial politician, viciously using partisanship?
Mr. Gingrich, I give you a toast:
Hail, At-lan!
Hail, San Fran!
Who stinketh…the most?
“She is a trivial politician, viciously using partisanship for the narrowest of purposes, and she dishonors the Congress by her behavior,” Gingrich also said in the blistering interview”
I guess he’d know.
what about steroids in baseball? now that’s important; everyone wants to know what those millionaires playing a childs game are injecting.
SAN FRANCISCO LIBERAL. SAN FRANCISCO LIBERAL. SAN FRANCISCO LIBERAL. SAN FRANCISCO LIBERAL. SAN FRANCISCO LIBERAL. SAN FRANCISCO LIBERAL. SAN FRANCISCO LIBERAL. SAN FRANCISCO LIBERAL.
Just had to REMIND everyone that right-wingers are awesome.
Newt better be careful - Nancy may unleash the legendary power of her Rictus Grimace upon him, instantly reducing him to ashes.
Oh my god. Just fucking go away forever and die, you mendacious and ignorant cretins.
This is maybe the most useless back and forth news story I’ve ever had the displeasure of hearing about. Cocksuckers, all of them.
Nacy Pelosi is the type of horrible person who would serve divorce papers on her husband while he’s in his hospital bed being treated for his terminal cancer.
I subjected myself to Sean Assity and Karl Rove talking about this on his radio show last night. It’s the biggest non-issue of the year so far, but the stinkers think they’ve got themselves a winner. Forget that the document Pete Hoekstra released wouldn’t be considered evidence as it appeared to be cobbled together well after the fact, and is said to be factually wrong by at least three congressmembers and that Leon Panetta said in a cover letter that it might not be accurate — no, they think this’ll cause Pelosi to resign. They’re frickin’ idiots. Hate to whore my blog, but dammit, everybody should look at the evidence and I have it all in one place:

I’m from LA and I happen to like “Frisco,” Newt the Poot.
Well, goodness, I guess the only way to get to the bottom of all this would be a fully independent commission doing a thorough investigation of the Bush administration and congress about the use of torture. Start pushing for it, Newt! We crazy far-left liberals would be *super sad* if it somehow implicated Cheney *and* Pelosi. Really.
The right: still not so good with the strategery.
At this point, quotes from John Edwards and Rudolph “The Human Stain” Giuliani would give this debate some class.
magic titty: If they were actually sucking cock they would serve a purpose, however badly. Also.
Another duel of wits between unarmed opponents.
You know, if Newt ever told me my pants were on fire, I would get protection. And you know what I mean here -
Newt vs. Nancy - get your tickets at ticketmaster.com, one night only. What if I want both to get smashed into the turnbuckle while George the Animal Steele bites their ears off?
*YAWN*
(but I will sign up for Newt’s FREE newsletter as advertised to my left)
There fixed it
House Republicans are engaging in a “despicable, dishonest and vicious political effort” to withhold information about the CIA’s aggressive interrogation techniques, Newt Gingrich said Friday, in what amounts to the harshest criticism yet leveled at the Republicans.
“They are trivial politicians, viciously using partisanship for the narrowest of purposes, and they dishonors the Congress by their behavior,” Gingrich also said in the blistering interview.
SayItWithWookies: thanks for the link.
You know, while we’re at it - is it just me, or does Mr. Abe Lincoln, on that new commememorative penny reverse, look totally liek he is bringing teh ghey? Just askin’
Splitting wood - there’s a joke in there somewhere, but I am too zonked to get a handle on it, so someone needs to step here -
Fuck off Newt, that book has been written, by a guy named Orwell or something….
We, the citizens of this great Nation, must fight back against these reprehensible politicians the only way we know how — Pelosi/Gingrich slashfic.
“With one final swing of his enchanted blade, Newt, the slayer of Clin-Ton and Chieftain of the Red States of the South, dispatched the last of the dread priests. Sheathing his sword, he turned his attention to the supine figure on the despicable alter of Soetero, the power-mad god of wealth redistribution.
`Who are you?’ he demanded, the madness of battle fading from his eyes, which he now cast appreciatively over the bound woman.
`Save me, oh Lord, for am am the Princess Pelosi of the Great Coastal Kingdom of the West. If you rescue me, anything that you desire shall be yours. . .’”
ph7: No way ANYONE is that cold. Wait, wha..?
NEWS ALERT! NEWS ALERT!
Check out wnd.com. “John Lennon Made Pact With Satan”
Wasn’t our boy Newt one of the ones with a giant, throbbing, cheeseburger-tipped erection for torture?
Between Newt and Rush, they have six marriages and Leather Girl Nancy still has more and better sex in an hour than these moralistic bastards have had in total. Jealousy. Little pricks. They secks with America because they can’t do womens.
Do you think Nancy would talk if Newt waterboarded her?
Vicious. So vicious of her. How dare she say mean things about those nice renditioners. They work very hard to keep those black helicopters running clean and quiet.
Those Obama daughters are little fucking brats as well, and I look forward to the day Newt wishes cancer upon them, since apparently he can’t face a female face to face without she has teh cancer.
If she knew about it she by herself could have stopped it and if she didn’t stop it it’s because it wasn’t torture and also because she lied about it and also she’s for the terrorists anyway so she wanted to embarrass President Bush so she didn’t say anything then and now she’s engaging in partisan politics and we haven’t been attacked since 9/11 and this is Obama’s recession and she wants the government to tell you what doctor you can take your cat to and . . .
Newt’s just cranky because his wife is cancer-free, forcing him to stay married to her.
Pelosi is the new Hillary.
The real story here is not that Nancy Pelosi is a lying sack, it’s WHO IN THE HELL gives a FLYING FUCK about whatever NEWTON PHILANDERIN’ GRINGRICH has to say.
Can Republicans crap in the morning without some damn Fuerer giving them orders? Sheesh.
Wait, why is this asshat still relevant?
How does this rolly-poly, know-nothing little troll keep getting air time and ink? And that torture-mongering, shit-monster Cheney too. Nobody cares what they think. About anything. I can understand them not figuring out that their 15 minutes is up - but why is the Media so deaf and fucking dumb? Both of them shout STFU and get jobs.
There’s nothing like having a thouroughly disgraced hypocrite passing moral judgement on others.
Care to share your thoughts on John Edwards?
ph7: Win!
If waterboarding isn’t torture, why does it matter when Pelosi knew?
shortsshortsshorts: Honestly I’ve never been wild about Pelosi as Speaker. I was rumminatin’ about this earlier while some bimbo prattled away on teh fox noos. I would like to see Jim McDermott as speaker. He’s a Seattle Librul and that’s more like a Latte Librul and now-a-days they serve lattes at McDonalds so it’s “okay” to get a latte in Oklahoma. McDermott…McDonalds…. you seeing this?
It is fun watching the GOP dickbrains act like they have the upper hand. And it’s really cute that they’re so concerned about transparency, accountability and deception in public office.
“She is a trivial politician, viciously using partisanship for the narrowest of purposes, and she dishonors the Congress by her behavior,”
Takes one to know one.
Kev-O-Tron: I’d love to see Newt step to McDermott. also.
Very dissapointing that our elected officials, especially within the Democratic Party, has now taken such a different approach in the discussions of Torture and the previous administrations corruption and illegal activities.
I am glad to see Cheney (and Pelosi for that matter) in the media (especially places other than foxnews) and is helping keeping the torture debate front and center.
We need to continue to keep the pressure on the President and Congress to do as we voted for. Change.
“She is a trivial politician, viciously using partisanship for the narrowest of purposes, and she dishonors the Congress by her behavior,” said the fat-ass fairy motherfucker who exhibited exactly that behavior towards Bill Clinton for getting a blowjob.
19kevin8: Newt Gingrich, Cock Blocker Supreme.
Nancy to Newt: Palomino! Palomino!
To gloss on the inestimable Ken Layne: “OH MY GOD Gingrich is such a crying, whiny, titty baby, pussy boy fag.” Also. As well.
I’m not a big fan of Nancy, but I was happy as a little girl when she said the CIA lied to her and Congress. Newt should eat a bag of dicks and STFU. His 15 minutes is over…
Bring it on, Newt. Can’t wait to see Fancy San Francisco WENT TO SYRIA! terrorist liberal Nancy Pelosi kick your god damn puffed up, pseudo-intellectual, Cobb County “NO THANX FER YER EEEVOLUSHUN SHEEYIT” Georgia ass all over the place.
You all snort in disgust now, but face it - all you bloggie people OWE YOUR VERY LIVES to scum like Newt, Boehner and the lapdog mainstream press weenies pulling this kind of crap. After all the pitiful, sophmoric whining coming from the right since they were put on the ice floe like a good elderly eskimo that is no longer of any use to the tribe, a lot of people were starting to feel sorry for them.
Not anymore! Grandpa and his retarded underlings are back with a vengeance, scratching their genitals and shouting at the clouds.
I am grateful. However, now I regret giving up the sweet alcohol that fueled my anger and drowned my sorrows during the fucking MILLENIA that those bastards were in charge.
To the ramparts! And bring vodka!
chascates: We don’t torture but we had to and what’s so wrong doing so but Nancy Pelosi sucks for lying about being briefed about torturing but we shouldn’t investigate anyone about torturing because we didn’t and we shouldn’t let those photos of us torturing people let out because it would make the world angry about the fact we tortuned people because we didn’t torture people.
Oh, Newt’s just mad because Nancy wouldn’t service him.
I’m so glad we have Newt to kick around some more. Newtie! Don’t listen to any of these other posters, you should totally run for President! America needs you… to have your ass handed to you by Obama in 2012.
Terry: Like no one else. Didn’t he plagiarize this from someone else’s description of him.
Newt is a turd.
I guess going after Nancy over the Armenian genocide issue never got much traction with the Base.
Maybe someone can help me with this - if Nancy did know - so what? She couldn’t do anything about it right? It was the Bush way or the highway, right? (And by highway I mean something mysterious happening to your loved ones…)
“she dishonors the Congress by her behavior”
Newt, I thought you could only dishonor stuff by not wearing Flag Pins or a 3-piece suit at ALL TIMES in the White House, etc.
dave666: “If waterboarding isn’t torture, why does it matter when Pelosi knew?”
WIN
paloosee goosee demands a hydraulic penis with which to torture those who defy her
Would someone please put Newt back on his bipolar meds???
