“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.”

It’s pretty obvious she’s toast. Ogabe has let loose the Media Hounds to start tearing Pelousi apart. Without Ogabe’s nod the media would still be in lapdog mode, licking away the Dimmi’s nasty bits.
Nancy is a disgrace to American. It is obvious that she is lying. She should stop it while she is ahead. To call the CIA a liar is a serious matter. I am not saying that the CIA is not lying, I am simply stating that you don’t tell more lies and point fingers at the CIA. They don’t play like that.
Watch Obama let her go down.

It couldn’t happen to a nicer person. Hope she takes Reid down with her.
That press conference of hers was hilarious to watch.
She’s looking as desperate as “I Ruby” and her lawyer boyfriend.
Maybe when she is interviewed by the house she can conjure up the big eyes and shed a single tear like Brian Mulroney did. Too bad, so sad just another one under the bus.
She outright said that the CIA “Misled Congress”, she said it twice. File the charges Nancy. Let’s have a trial with the parties under oath Nancy! We will find other Democrats knew about this at the time and also approved, because it wasn’t torture then, but I guess, now it is.
My favorite line from the torture finding by the judge? That we had “no call” to make the 20th hijacker stand for extended periods of time, or to limit his sleep. The reason she said it was torture is that it affected his health? How does she know that? Maybe the stress of being caught affected his health. Is it torture to shoot somebody in order to effect his capture? That affects his health. The judge was a maroon.

“THE WHITE HOUSE: STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT ON DETAINEE PHOTOGRAPHS
[snip] Now, let me also say a few words about an issue that I know you asked Robert Gibbs about quite a bit today, and that’s my decision to argue against the release of additional detainee photos. Understand, these photos are associated with closed investigations of the alleged abuse of detainees in our ongoing war effort.And I want to emphasize that these photos that were requested in this case are not particularly sensational, especially when compared to the painful images that we remember from Abu Ghraib, but they do represent conduct that did not conform with the Army Manual. That’s precisely why they were investigated — and, I might add, investigated long before I took office — and, where appropriate, sanctions have been applied.”

Sen. Kit Bond on CIA briefing controversy and Pelosi’s claims – MSNBC vid:-
“I’ve been in briefings…they don’t brief you on the techniques they’re NOT gonna use….that dog ain’t gonna hunt.” (Panel breaks up in laughter)…more in the 2 min 13 sec. video clip; the whole thing is a treat.
http://thepage.time.com/video-sen-kit-bond-on-pelosis-cia-claim/
Pelosi personally embodies almost all of the things I hate about silver-spoon marxist scumbags.
I wish her to have very bad luck in everything she does for the rest of her life – may it be short.
Obama hasn’t thrown anyone under his bus lately.
Mind the wheels Nancy.
Does nobody remember when she became speaker and people were saying she was so far left she made Sanders look like a republican and she got the position because she is ruthless politically and has plays the game well.
That is why this is so funny she thought she could hide behind the President’s Bullet Proof Approval ratings on this. She has one of the lowest approval ratings personally in the entire US Federal Government.
She is lying just like Chris Dodd lied about the AIG bonuses, heard much from him lately? He probably will lose his seat so he is doing damage control at home. Her crusade against Bush clouded her judgment and if Cheney had not come out on this she would have got away with it. Hate Cheney or not but his defense of the previous Administration is what is causing the “hold on here little doggies” around these issues that is starting to emerge from the moderate Dems and the Whitehouse.
People may not have agreed with everything the Bush administration did, but they were at least competent adults. Pelosi looks like an absolute idiot.
Pelosi is a trivial lunatic.
We already knew Pelosi was way out of her game when she usurped the function of the Secretary of State to visit the Syrians.
Thus we can already conclude she doesn’t know what functions she has under the Constitution.
Maybe she picked up on interrogation techniques from the Syrians.
Rich: thanks for the video link that was a keeper.
Pelosi’s explanation on CIA briefings being undercut by Sen Kit Bond was priceless “…this dog don’t hunt!” to gales of laughter.

The bigger they are… the bumpier the bus ride.
The truly scarey thing is that if (G*d forbid) TOTUS and the VP got ran over by a bus on their way to eat burgers with the commoners, that leftard would be running the US of A. Mind you, none of the top three amigos are any prize in the Make-me-leader-of-the-free-world competition, but the San Fransisco fruitbar is the scary worst. (good grammar it ain’t, but hey, TGIF.)
CIA Head Panetta weighs in- we told ’em the truth.
The fire is growing I think. Pass the popcorn.

Beast.
Sorry, Tex but we have seen the enemy and they are OB1kernowitall and his mates.
I can’t think of anything scarier.
Here’s why we need the popcorn.
“Slate’s John Dickerson notes that when it is put this starkly, it’s going to be hard for the president to respond, “no comment” — or some other rhetorical equivalent of voting present: “At some point the president may be asked what his view of the Pelosi matter is. It’s a tricky spot. He doesn’t want to get in the middle of a he-said/she-said debate. If he defends Pelosi, he alienates the CIA. That relationship is already tender because Obama released Bush-era torture memos against the wishes of the CIA, whose agents participated in the torture. On the other hand, if Obama defends the CIA, he undermines his leader in the House and angers her liberal supporters.”

and the idiots continue their march toward more power and the stupid think it’s ok. anger, bubbling up, can’t get mind clear, stupid, stupid, stupid liberal socialists.
Pelosi is a left wing lunatic.
There, fixed that for you.
As my old man used to say, “It’s probably not a good idea to piss off people who overthrow whole governments.”
She’s not so trivial when you consider the damage she can do(and has done).
[ The GOP says she’s a liar and now, implicitly, so does the White House. Devastating.] hotair.com
OMG!
If you go to Drudge, the headline at the moment is that Ogabe has siced his hounds (State Department) on Drudge!
The left is unraveling before our very eyes!
Enjoy the fireworks.
I pity all free thinking Americans, you are going to have to put up with this Pelosi type crap for quite sometime. She is but the beginning of the weasels of the left and their lying dictatorial arrogance. If you look at what we have gone through here in Canada it will give you the full meaning of the socialist state you are about to become.
Pelosi’s big mistake was calling the CIA liars.
She’s now toast, death by a thousand leaks, including proof that she was informed in 2002 waterboarding was used on one detainee.
And, Obama now realizes he’s let the dragons out with the release of interrogation technique documents.
That was done with the intention of smearing the previous administration.
They fired the first shot, giving Cheney the right to defend the record and he’s hurt them bad.
Why do you think all the Obamatons in the MSM are telling Cheney he should shut up?
This thing is exploding in Obama’s face and I can’t say I feel sorry for him. He realizes he’s in charge now and made a big boo-boo with the release of the documents.
Next up, the promise to close Guantanamo.
Two days after his inaguration, I told my Obamaton son it would be impossible for him to keep that promise.
Much easier to bitch than to be the person making the decisions.
Every parent knows what that’s all about.
Osama broke any power over him in the House by threatening to show photo’s of interrogation she agreed to. He trapped her like the weasel she is.
Another one bites the dust. Obama must own a bus company. I question who’s next in his sight for his personnel quest for absolute power?
This is like reading a history book on Rome & their political alliances with its many betrayals.
Obama feels just a little more in control while it sends the message to Congress like the press. Follow me completely as your Leader or you will be ruined.
This was a warning shot over the bow of both the Senate & Congress. If he will ruin a political ally , what will he do to his foes?
He may be an idiot without a teleprompter but he has a low cunning like Chrétien as well, his lies slide by as quick as his turn around on any promises.
JMO
Could we have special tires made for throw under busses, where they don’t actually maim but just rough up people.
Kinda like going into a corner in the dying moments of a hockey game you can’t loose and know you’re going to get hurt.
Hey Nancy… Don’t piss-off the CIA.
Something could get leaked.
I think the quote is unfair.Incompetent or dishonest. Why can’t she be classified as both?
Rich: “Pass the popcorn.”
Now might be the time to load up on ConAgra shares (CAG on the NYSE). It’s the parent company of both Orville Redenbacher and Jiffy Pop.
Leave it to the Democrats to accuse others (the CIA) of the same stuff of which they’re guilty, so as to hopefully divert attention or at least suggest that “At least we’re not any worse than the other guys”.
Talk about projection.
This phoney woman has been looking for an ass kiking for a long time, Waxman is next, these are the two most corrupt polititians in the US. Watching her squirm is good fun though, the lefties think everyone on this earth that is not a leftie also has no memory, they are really that stupid. Earth to lefties, we have memorys, and we remember all your dirty dealing from Cretins stealing millions from the Canadian taxpayer to this multi face lifted liars latest lie she didn’t know.
Until I read that Newt Gingrich had made the comment I thought it was about I, Ruby Dhalla.

Yeah this could unravel the entire Democrat WH AND Congress………
Yeah I agree Waxman is a Class 1 slimeball….totally ruthless and unscrupulous……
I think Revnant Dream is right, it does have the feel of a purge of allies with independent power bases (and the infighting and social breakdown during Rome’s transition from republic to empire).
Look at all those articles on corrupt politicians and earmarks, in the NYTimes and such. Murtha, Dodd, and so forth have built their own (corrupt) power bases, so they don’t have to toady to Obama. What a coincidence that they are being exposed now. Where were those articles a few years ago?
It was just a matter of time.
These people think that they can run the show anyway they please.
But, thank God and the authors of the Constitution, they cannot.
Elephant ears is next if he doesn’t back off, and I suspect he knows it.
since Taliban Jacko the Whacko is heading south to give Obama advice on socialized Health Care, shouldn’t Ruby head south and help Nancy deal with a smear campaign ?
They are obviously both innocent victims.
Nancy has been cursed with an hsterical personality that will only become more florid; she will soon pop her cork.
Congratulations to Nancy Pelosi. She has taken a story that was all about the evil Bush and Cheney and made it “All about Nancy”.
She not only missed whatever the CIA was telling her, she has also missed the “Do not become the story” message David Axlerod has no doubt been sending her.
No wonder Dick Cheney is making as much noise as possible. Every time she re-opens her mouth, his legal troubles diminish.
Hard to believe that was her plan. She wants a Truth Commission so she can be the star witness?
Talk about friendly fire incident! At least Napoleon had the good sense to be standing behind the guns when he ordered them to fire on the crowd. Obama, Peolosi and the Dems have ordered the cannonade to begin while they are standing directly in front. I shall enjoy watching them try to pick up the grape shot and stuff it back in particularly since I’m sure there’s now no love lost between them and the gunners (the CIA).
Yeah, Fred, that’s right.
Nancy Pelosi and Ruby Dhalla’s cases are totally equivalent.
The both claim the CIA lied.
And both of their nannies were abused by their families.

Obama will be a one-term accident.
Ready! Aim! Fire at foot!
The US public are not being fooled any more as they are now being set up for a huge tax increase to pay for the useless spending spree.
But they’ll have fun watching the Democratic Party self-destruct until the mid-term elections.
That’s an interesting scenario brought up by Revenant Dream – that Obama found Pelosi too powerful and decided to ‘take her out’. Hmmm.
Yes, Obama did start the whole Blame Everything Possible on Bush strategy. And that included his release of the memoes about ‘torture’. He started it.
Now, the question then, is whether this was part of his strategy of focusing all problems on ‘the previous administration’ and thus diverting attention from the agenda of the current administration?
The agenda of the current administration has not been popular; the Tea Parties, which Obama pretended didn’t exist and then, finally acknowledged them with a contemptuous sneer, unsettled the WH and the Democrats.
These ‘torture memoes’ were flung out to refocus the American gaze away from Obama’s massive debts and pork-filled give-away monies…to the evil that was the Bush administration.
The Republicans then fought back and diverted it to Pelosi. Now, Obama is backing off from the whole thing, he’s backing off releasing ‘more pictures’, just as he’s had to back off from Guantanamo….
The other possibility is that Obama, as a narcissist, can only allow one person to have Key Power – himself. Biden is a fool and was picked as a fool. Pelosi is an extremely ambitious lady; was Obama out to ‘take her down’? It’s possible.
What if it’s both agendas? Ahh, that would also be a possibility. Two birds with one…
My bet is that all this will go away. The deal cut will be:- no investigations/prosecution involving the Bush gov’t and a quiet backing off period on the Pelosi thing as other issues take the stage.
Pelosi’s stock value will have dropped significantly. The lib hard-liners will be pissed but the big Zero will mollify them somehow.
Net result….Obama wins, coming out top dog in Dem land.
He cannot have investigations without Pelosi et al being dragged in as party to the Bush actions.
And that would be a daily gift in the news for the GOP
Can someone give Pelosi some botox? Her face is starting to look scary.
