Nancy Pelosi: I Can't Wait To Reveal The Confidential Material From Newt's Ethics Hearings
Newt Gingrich: I Can't Wait For You To Get Your Own Ethics Investigation Either

"One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich,” Pelosi told Talking Points Memo. “When the time is right. … I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. A thousand pages of his stuff.”

That, of course, would itself be a major ethical breach, as Gingrich points out.

First of all I’d like to thank Speaker Pelosi for what I regard as an early Christmas gift. If she’s suggesting she’s gonna use material she developed while she was on the ethics committee, that is a fundamental violation of the rules of the House and I would hope members would immediately file charges against her the second she does it.

At Hot Air, some debate among Republicans and Democrats about whether Newt would be a weaker candidate than Mitt, or a stronger one.

I don't know myself. I'm having trouble figuring that out. On one hand, that DNC ad about Mitt's flip-flops made him look dishonest and venal.

On the other hand, Romney has a picture-perfect family story, which Newt definitely does not.

Plus Newt has his own history of zig-zags and flip-flops, of course.

On Acceptability... Gingrich leads, Romney places, and Rick Perry manages third place.

Thanks to @baseballcrank for that.
