Having declared earlier in the show, "I have never said ANYTHING about President Obama which is racist", David Gregory inquires about Newtie commenting on the President, when he said "What if is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece this together?" Gregory asks if it is 'ill-informed, or at worst, bigoted?" Of course "Newtie" has no direct answer...

David Gregory confronts Newtie with his own words, having proclaimed 'I'm not a natural leader; more of an intellectual gadfly', and yet he is now running for the Presidency....?

Gregory also picks up on Newtie's sexual indescretions, noting that Gingrich excused himself about it all, saying 'he has matured' - but David notes that at the time of his acts, Gingrich was 55 '- HARDLY a young man.'

The host of Meet the Press also replays video of Newtie's excusing himself for cheating on his wife to Christian Broadcasting, asking 'should people take his statement as an act of contrition -- that you were SO patriotic and SO passionate that you cheated on your wife?'

David also asks about all the incidents of unpaid taxes of his various businesses revealed in a recent report, Newtie saying it has all been resolved, blaming it on the idea that 'stuff largely got lost in the mail'.

He also got Newtie to say there IS NOT a majority right-wing in this country (something I bet his right wing fundies neither want to believe or want to hear) and replays video Bush-era video where he says Reagan's presidency was not an era of pure conservativism and was NOT an era of Camelot -- all disses to his royal highness Ronnie.

Oh poor Newtie, those GOP'ers running against him are going to have lots of ads to run on this little bit of rodentia squirreling around on the Sunday talk show circuit.

Poor thang.

1. Ugh, can't get this to load/play any more than about 3 seconds at a time

I'll have to check back later

2. I can't stand Gingrich ...

He is everything that is what's wrong with the Republican party. Our young people need to get rid of all these old farts within the political arena... and start all over.

3. Hard to watch this piece of grissle. I think he is mentally ill.

4. Made it to 2:19 before having to shut it off...

...lest I put a fist through a perfectly good laptop screen.

Self-serving, self-promoting sack of (insert vile substance of your choice).

Newt's MO is that he will say anything to promote himself and whatever agenda he's pitching at the time. Absolutely freaking anything. He's not a scholar, and he's no one to parse someone else's words for motive or intent.

There is nothing that comes out of his mouth that should be taken at face value. Not even the spittle. he's that bad.

5. more of an intellectual gadfly

Uh huh.....




Ever feel like you're in a Tim Burton film?

6. Yeah, I saw that today. Yuk! He says God has forgiven him

because he couldn't keep his weenie in his pants all those years.

I always wonder how many do-overs those faux Christians get. What a hypocrite! :puke:

[JAnthony]

7. God has forgiven him??? He has talked with God?

God forgot to talk to the rest of us!

God only talks to Newt!

What a gigantic ego in that man!

[truth2power]

9. To be accurate, I think he said he's sorry and that he asked for

God's forgiveness. He seemed pretty certain it's a done deal.

8. Did he also say, "me...WINNING!" and hold up a bottle of choc. milk...

with his goddesses seated by his side?
