Republican hypocrite and adulterer, Newt Gingrich, gets his ass handed back to him by Dick Durbin on NBC’s Meet the Press earlier today.

“The question of what she said about the CIA that Thursday is flatly false and dishonest, and she ought to apologize to the country on the floor of the House and to the CIA for having said it,” Gingrich said, adding that what Pelosi said is illegal.

Durbin fired back, recalling what Gingrich said after the release of a National Intelligence Estimate in late 2007 regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

“Mr. Gingrich is suffering from a little political amnesia here,” Durbin said. “He’s forgotten that in year 2007 that he criticized the…estimate…and said that…what they did damaged our national security and misled the American people. Mr. Gingrich, would you like to make an apology to our intelligence agencies for what you said in 2007?”
