I think that Gandalf was pointing out that the way that Saruman talked was much like Grima Wormtongue. Wormtongue was always wispering in the kings ears, pursuading the king that he was too weak and getting him to do things that were not in Rohan's best interest. Saruman was talking in the same way, acting as though he was innocent. Gandalf is saying that these words mean nothing, I see your plan, it won't work on me! You are as bad as Wormtounge. Thats what I think.
