TODAY's Ann Curry speaks with GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich about his candidacy and President Obama's State of the Union address.
Does House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi have dark secrets about GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich?
For the second time in recent weeks, she hinted that she does. And then indicated she doesn't.
In a CNN interview last night, Pelosi said that Gingrich is not going to be president. Asked why she's so sure, Pelosi said "there is something I know."
"He’s not going to be president of the United States," Pelosi said. "That’s not going to happen. Let me just make my prediction and stand by it; it isn’t going to happen."
Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said today that what she knows is that Gingrich will not be president.
Previously, Pelosi hinted that she knew a lot about Gingrich because she served on the House Ethics Committee that investigated his conduct. She later said she was referring to material already in the public record.
Gingrich dismissed Pelosi's claim.
"She lives in a San Francisco environment of strange fantasies and strange understandings of reality," Gingrich said today on NBC’s Today show. "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."
Ed will offer his take on Pelosi's claim tonight at 8pET on the @edshow and discuss it with E.J. Dionne, a Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution and Washington Post columnist.
Then Ed will ask @NancyPelosi herself about it when she returns to the @edshow tomorrow (Thursday) at 8pET on @msnbctv, her first appearance on the @edshow since Dec. 15.
The top ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., talks with Ed Schultz on Dec. 15, 2011, about the fight to extend the payroll tax cut, the income gap in America, and the Republican fight to make President Obama a one-term president.

All about how the republican party thrives on keeping this country divided. They do not want to compromise, they want to up hold their agenda to have ALL THE POWER ......not share the power.
Yep = S.O.S.O.S. = Greedy Goofballs !!!!!! Stop America From Advancing Unless or Until THEY Can Pocket The Money For Themselves !!!!!!
That's what they do, but they love to shift the blame elsewhere, typical con artists!
Even funnier is that they then blame us for blaming them for what they done. Talk about spin, they must really be dizzy people.
Whomitmay. that could be new ride at Disney World. The Spinning Republican Ride !!!
Pelosi is a first class bi---. Pelosi was a disaster as house leader unless you want to give her credit for jamming through uber liberal bills that she did not know what was in them. When Pelosi talks she sounds stupid.
Poor rabid righties stuck supporting the real GOP, the Reagan disguise has fallen off the GOP and they show their true bigoted perverted greedy slime ball side. So instead of dealing with their own partys failings they do what they do best they attack a woman. Why to go GOP really showing why you are the losers you are.
only in your dream and that a fact, four more years for our President Obama. Just can't wait until november 6th, 2012.
obama,
you all hate her, just like the repubs in washington hate her, because she does her job.
thats why they demonized her before the 2010 election, because she is an AWESOME Speaker of the House, and they don't want to see a DEMOCRATIC woman have so much power. they don't like her because she speaks her mind, they feel "limp and impotent" (i'm borrowing that phrase from sarah palin) around her.
Nancy Pelosi shows those sissy republican men (mitch mcconnell, john boehner, eric cantor) how to get the job done.
John Boehner is the most pathetic speaker of the house in recent memory. He's such an embarassment to to his own people they'll probably replace him the first shot they get. Say what you will about Nancy Pelosi but how many times did Nancy fail to get her own people to pass a bill she wrote......hmmmm......seems like that's happened to ole john boy a couple times now and he's not even been there 2 years yet......course since the house republicans take a week off every month they're not really "there" that much in the first place.......
course you've got people like Michelle Bachmann and Alan West who were never really all "there" either........but I'm getting off topic.............
John and his cadre of clowns couldn't agree to not let america default because of 300 million(a tiny, tiny amount of money in the fed budget) to plan parenthood...hell we even had Bachmann say don't raise the debt ceiling 'cuz that wouldn't have made us default or anything.....what a stupid woman.....
So lowering the nation's credit, thanks John that's on him and his incompetent congress
Nearly raising the payroll tax because he couldn't get the GOP in the house to pass the senate compromise and let's not forget the part where he tried to pretend it was because they wanted a longer tax holiday....total lie....if they really cared about that why didn't they write that bill before the 11th hour? Why didn't they actually write that bill when they came back? seems like they've had plenty of time to do that
So almost raising taxes on the middle class killing the economy, thanks John.
skipping parts of the constitution in their ceremonial reading at the beginning of the session because the pages got stuck together in the little binder....and knowing how much the GOP just "loves" the constitution I wonder that stickyness could have been...hmmm......another little failure
oooh those two republicans who didn't attend the swearing in ceremony and tried to vote later on...when was the last time that happened........how democrats tried to vote in the house before being sworn in under Nancy Pelosi?
Boehner let Peter King of New York do his muslim witch hunt hearings in the house. Don't recall some religion based hearing happening under Pelosi either
JOHN BOEHNER: WORST SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IN DECADES when he steps down he'll join a lovely line of recent past republican speakers of Newt Gingrich(300k in ethic charges), Tom Delay(convicted of crimes for corruption), Dick Armey(commander in chief of the birther movement racists)
Dick Armey(commander in chief of the birther movement racists)
and XO of the tea party.
In the mean time, while the repugs and tp try to hold the country hostage, in hopes that Obama makes no progress. Obama just moves along, and the cons are hostage in their own house.
Thankful, It is absolutely wonderful and is the mark of real leader. He takes the lemons and makes lemonade !!!!!
Nancy , Inquiring minds want to know! If Newt Gingrich was fined for ethic violations you can bet your bottom dollar there is more ! Newt keeps portraying his squeaky clean I was not a lobbyists. He offered advice, so did money change hands ?
Even worse Pam Newt's pay check for that advice was paid to Newt's lobbying firm and not to his advice firm, which is also drawing the attentions of the feds because of ethic violations with lobbying laws.
Whomitmay, Now that is news. He could be in some very hot water! Wonder what song and dance he will do next?
Pam...
Newt may have been fined $300,000, and forced out of office, but that was only the tip of the iceberg. The House Ethics Committee originally pursued 84 charges against Newt...

The Washington Post, Curt Anderson, October 11, 1998
Secrets.......what secrets...it doesn't take a genius to know Newt is unelectable
Gingrich is not going to be president. That's no secret.
Newt is a disgusting pig weasel....
Yet, next to Pelosi, Newt is about a thousand times more respectable.

she is an ass!!! plain and simple! the libs are running scared and will do anything,lying,cheating,crime, eating there own. whatever......

hey deacon,
it always amuses me when you all say the dems are running scared.
the repubs are doing the same things they did in 1995 when they wanted Clinton out of office-they are just giving President Obama everything he needs to win again in 2012. they wish they knew how to do something different, but THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING ELSE.
clearly, it is the repubs who are running scared. if they weren't scared, they wouldn't be acting so stupidly.
Which is why they are at the moment claiming Reagan and the GOP never used trickle down or that trickle down exists. Now they are trying to call trickle down right to work because after all people are onto trickle down which is a failure so they will just change the name not the policies. The GOP change.
