Mitt compares Newt to Lucy in Chocolate Factory. Newt says, "Say that to my face." [View all]

On Newt's Virginia ballot flub:

MITT: I think he compared that to, uh, was it Pearl Harbor? I think
it's more like Lucille Ball at the chocolate factory.

Newt responds in Wolf interview:

NEWT: I have a very simple message for Mitt Romney. I'll meet
him anywhere in Iowa, for 90 minutes, just the two us, in a debate,
with a timekeeper, no moderator. I'd love to have him say that to my
face.
