And -- members now from top story tonight Nancy Pelosi for wrecked -- Newt Gingrich.

Mary river mr.

Gingrich was embarrassed when a video featuring him and ms.

Pelosi sitting on -- couch talking about global warming surface.

Apparently that little ten attacked.

Didn't warm -- -- -- -- much toward mr.

Gingrich.

This week she told -- website she knows a whole bunch about Gingrich and his ethical problems which were investigated 1990s.

That obvious threat did not sit too well with the speak.

She suggesting she's -- -- material that she developed what she was -- that this committee.

There's a fundamental violation of the rules of the house and I would hope that members would immediately file.

Charges against -- the second she does.

I think it tells you how capriciously political that committee was that she was on -- tells you how tainted the outcome was that she was -- it.

And the outcome was a reprimand from mr.

Gingrich -- 300000 dollar fine because he -- -- political action committee to help them teach some college courses up.

Low level -- to be sure.

What is now our rock and a hard place -- Monica Crowley and Hong Kong so how do you how do you see this threat thing here.

What are you shouldn't -- won't let's forget this early and -- well.

Hey trying to do the two -- this speaker -- spiritual and why there has died during the Cold War this speaker -- speaker.

Actually actually I do metaphorically and politically I think she doesn't wanna -- -- pretty pretty nasty do yeah and obviously Paul walnuts and he used him as a surprise yeah.

And I think it's going -- first -- gas which she -- here to take Newt Gingrich of course she hated his -- lot of people in congress really both Newt Gingrich when he was speaker and that includes a lot of Republicans.

Who -- some serious problems with him in his leadership.

But what I think it's more important here and this is sort of the subtext of what she's doing.

She's trying to resurrect the wars of the 1990s working Richard's right in the center he was a hot rod of controversy this was the war surrounding the clintons.

This was the wars in the congress the contract with America to sell on.

She thinks that by doing this even has yet to back off from it because under the ethics rules she can't present anything that's not and the public at -- She's trying to remind voters what do you really want this guy I mean this guy is so do they had already -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All right a -- finally she said.

All right that she Nancy -- -- gas.

At a time to be designated around later Bryant would reveal things that she Nancy Pelosi.

We learned.

Yes in an undisclosed location is -- yes she did an absolutely that website -- -- -- revealing information that was not already need.

Public however.

And furthermore although you minimize -- the other part that he was accused and convicted -- by this ethics committee at bipartisan ethics committee.

With for which hit a -- does -- know who's lying to congress about it now -- after the voters to decide with a what happened then is relevant but it wasn't just that he used -- -- against federal law money he shouldn't have put this but I lied about a threat was lodged by ms.

Pelosi.

Look through these people don't like each other we all know that alright but very rarely do you get people at this level threatening each item that now that threat was lodged -- I know stuff that isn't in the public domain and and a time down overall load.

I'm gonna tell you.

The next day -- a few hours later virus spokesperson admits she's talking messed up in the -- all domain but that's not what she said -- -- did not materialize it lay around and there's nothing -- that indicated with private information.

And let's -- messenger to read only Pelosi biggest Newton may have been out of the Olympic lately and anybody on -- saying that this was a direct threat.

All right and I think Monica was correct it's being used now to remind people.

That all he didn't have a real good time.

-- that they have Democrat ran for office there was an ethical problem the past would Republicans ever bring that up and Clinton of course I mean obviously well but I -- -- -- do it in this way.

And that's the other point look where Nancy plus he's come as an appropriate yeah she's the former speaker she's the minority leader -- it was totally inappropriate for to do this however.

Politics ain't bean bag and especially presidential politics out.

Newt Gingrich Mitt Romney -- two leaders now they better be prepared for all manner of attacks including ones like this.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- I think these days you know -- and I Gingrich why is that.

Arizona now.

The advantage for Gingrich is this if he Kenya has set up a fight would Nancy Pelosi.

He wins in the Republican precincts you know that -- for Gingrich he was right this is an early car.

This union is better than it happens now from somebody like Nancy Pelosi said that he's prepared forties got the fix again because god knows what Obama and Axelrod a -- for gonna run.

-- -- -- I'm prepared know he's running for president and if he ever got to the top here which is now happened that this was gonna.

This stuff was clearly going to come out -- old stuff I thought also it stuff Tony wasn't any.

You know we never talked about what Obama did not your community organizer who we went to church with -- -- he went to coffee.

That's the point one have never written about this stuff it is stuff happen all they would talk about -- dream getting the technology thought about during the entire presidential campaign a little vigilant.

Sometimes when typical I think that's right if this is all that the Democrats have not Newt Gingrich stuff that happens -- -- years ago isn't pretty just.

300000 dollar fine for lying to congress and misusing funds fine it's up to the public to decide if that's so when they feel they can electric the united.

States you know it's all -- -- a point about this race is.

The Republicans knocked it sucked into these kinds of conversations I don't care who they -- this election next year is about Barack Obama not about the Republican well I'm Barack Obama will have to make it not about him and and the -- that's why.

I think they would rather run against Gingrich then Romney.

Because -- they can run against Gingrich Norris is gonna get real personal and is going to be a lot of the stuff back and forth and then that's what it's gonna happen -- Romney is so harder target.

Two it would you agree with -- -- movement and for concerned are you I don't think.

Now he's got -- possesses the tennis center all right -- and our place cameras that you don't know what that is what took us mirror and accept.
