Non-office holder, unelected, professional lobbyist Newt Gingrich got caught with his pants down again. No, it wasn't adultery on his third wife, but rather his attacks against Nancy Pelosi for daring to say that the CIA actually lies! Shudder the thought! Problem is, Newt did the same thing in 2007.

Last week, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich called on Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to resign her current position as Speaker. He said that she “disqualified herself” over her comments that the CIA was “misleading” Congress.

However, Gingrich has accused the CIA, among other U.S. intelligence agencies, of misleading Congress and undermining the president. In response to the release of the 2007 Iran National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) — which concluded that Iran had halted its nuclear weapons program — Gingrich said that he believed the NIE and its authors were “damaging to our own national security.”

Yesterday on NBC’s Meet the Press, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) brought up this point. He said that if Gingrich is so offended by Pelosi’s comments, then he should also apologize for what he said in 2007.
