Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who in many circles is more lowly thought of than former President George W. Bush, is flapping his gums again. Gingrich, who has had his own public struggles, is on the attack against current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
This is from Think Progress:
“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 narrowest of purposes, and she dishonors the Congress by her behavior.”
I am not the biggest Nancy Pelosi fan, but the ethically-challenged Gingrich has a lot of nerve bashing anyone for being a trivial politician, using partisanship for the narrowest purposes and dishonoring Congress. Apparently there are no mirrors in the Gingrich household. It just goes to show the arrogance of someone like Newt Gingrich.
Next, O.J. Simpson and Chris Brown will be condemning people committing domestic violence.
