Saying that Nancy Pelosi ?lives in a San Francisco environment of strange fantasies,? Newt Gingrich on Wednesday dismissed the House Democratic leader?s odd claim that she knows something that will prevent him from becoming president
?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,? Gingrich said on NBC?s ?Today? show.

?He?s not going to be president of the United States. That?s not going to happen. Let me just make my prediction and stand by it; it isn?t going to happen,? she said on CNN.
?There is something I know,? she warned, without offering specifics. ?The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him that?s their prerogative. I don?t even think that?s going to happen.?
This is the second time the minority leader has hinted that she might have some particular knowledge about Gingrich.
?One of these days we?ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich,? Pelosi told Talking Points Memo in December. ?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.?
?Not right here,? Pelosi said, when asked for more detail. ?When the time?s right.?
A spokesperson later walked back the comments, saying that Pelosi was referring to ethics documents in the public record.
Pelosi?s spokesperson again asserted Wednesday that she was referring to items in the public record.
?The ?something? Leader Pelosi knows is that Newt Gingrich will not be President of the United States. She made that clear last night,? said spokesperson Drew Hamill. ?Leader Pelosi previously made a reference to the extensive amount of information that is in the public record, including the comprehensive committee report with which the public may not be fully aware.?
On his morning show appearance, Gingrich also slammed the president for his State of the Union address Tuesday, saying that it set up a ?year of divisiveness? ahead.
?On the one hand he has a lot of good rhetoric. I like a lot of his rhetoric,? said Gingrich. ?Yet last night he seemed to set up a year of divisiveness, of getting nothing done. I thought it was a sad decline from the hope and optimism he ran on in 2008. I think it reflects the last couple of years.?
