Sunday Afternoon Flashback: Nancy and Newt Sitting in a Tree ...

Dateline 2008

Speaking to [Bill] O’Reilly, Gingrich called the 31-second spot the “one of the dumbest things I’ve done in recent years.”

“It was an effort in my part to say that conservatives are concerned about the environment…But the commercial is just a mistake,” he told O’Reilly.

However, in a video interview with Human Events magazine in May 2010, the former speaker not only defended his commercial with Pelosi, but he said he would do it again even after the 2009 e-mail hacking scandal raised serious questions about the science behind so-called global warming.

“If they offer the chance to, then sure,” Gingrich replied, when asked if he would film the commercial another time despite the climate science controversy.

O tempora, o mores. Eheu. Eheu.

Romney’s people are all over this in FL. They have an interesting angle: They have Obama as Newt’s puppetmaster.

Romney = weathervane.

Newt = mean and nasty weathervane.

Bob: Free Republic’s got more comedy value than Wonkette at the moment.

Sweet!

I hope they’re also focusing on Newt and Nancy’s body language.

I believe Newt when he claims to be an amateur paleontologist- after all, he did spend a lot of time digging up old skeletons in Clinton’s closet.

In order for Newt Gingrich to win, the former Speaker of the House will have to plan for and play a very long game. Here are five things Gingrich can do to improve his odds of winning the Republican nomination.

I think Catholic online wants him to win.
