NANCY PELOSI HOLDS KEY CODES TO NEWT-RON-BOMB

NANCY PELOSI READY TO ACTIATE "NEWT W.O.P.R."

Yet another bombshell that could, potentially, derail former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s presidential aspirations? That is the newest insinuation made against Gingrich — not by a former spouse or lover, but rather by another former House Speaker.

Nancy Pelosi, again, alluded to dirt she has on Newt Gingrich during an interview with CNN's John King Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, Gingrich sounded really annoyed about it. Just before the State of the Union address on Tuesday, Pelosi told King that Newt was "not going to be president of the United States," because, "There's something I know." Ominous! And it really irked Gingrich, who sounded exasperated on the Today show this morning.

Keys to the "Newt-ron-bomb"

Politico has his comments from that appearance:

"She lives in a San Francisco environment of strange fantasies and strange understandings of reality. 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."

Better times for the speakers.

Tension between the two is at all time high - the fuse is ignited and ready to blow the powder keg.

Pelosi needs to toe the line very carefully here, as suggesting to use material that she developed when she was on the ethics committee - is a fundamental violation of the rules of the House, and Newt-ron-bomb would ensure that members would immediately file charges against her the second she does it.

Newt said in response to Pelosi's comments about her knowledge of his ethics probe:

          "I think it shows you how capriciously political that
           committee was when she was on it."
           Capricious or not, disclose the information 
           immediately, so we can kick this can
           down the road" and dispose of it properly"!


Capricious or not, disclose the information immediately, so we can kick this can down the road" and dispose of it properly!

Instead of Jobs...Republicans Fight for Polystyrene

AKA Styrofoam

The list of issues causing bitter divisions among Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill has a new entry: biodegradable cups.

When the House returns Monday from a week-long recess, members and staffers will see something that hasn’t been in the Capitol for four years: Styrofoam.


In the first move toward phasing out part of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) “Green the Capitol” program, polystyrene cups were reintroduced this week as an option for coffee drinkers in the Capitol Carry-Out, the building’s mini-cafeteria.

The basement eatery had been part of Pelosi’s “Greening” program since 2007, when Democrats took control of the House. The program brought climate-friendly vending machines and compact fluorescent lightbulbs to the Capitol; caused the Capitol Power Plant to switch from burning coal to natural gas; and reduced energy and water consumption in Capitol buildings by 23 percent and 32 percent, respectively, according to an April 2010 report

Wonkette offers a reminder about the nature of the problem:

“‘Foamed polystyrene’ is a miraculous invention that manages to be completely awful through every step of its near-eternal ‘life cycle’ — it is manufactured with petroleum that must be imported from Middle East dictatorships, toxic ‘styrene oligomers’ migrate into the food it holds, it’s highly flammable and produces black poisonous smoke, and most of the 25 billion polystyrene cups tossed every year will take more than half a millennium to degrade. And that’s why the Republican-led House of Representatives made it an immediate priority to cancel the House cafeteria’s four years of biodegradable food and beverage packaging.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), not surprisingly, isn’t happy, noting that the new Republican policy will send 535 more tons of waste to landfills.

Part of me wonders if the GOP policy brought back the environmentally-irresponsible cups just to annoy Pelosi, or if Republicans are choosing to thumb their noses at “green” policies, just because it makes them feel better about themselves.


There is knowdoubt that it’s both.

By the way John "smoke if you got em" Boehner, where are the freaking jobs!
