He ripped Romney for holding stock in government-sponsored mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as Goldman Sachs, all while running ads about Gingrich making money off of Freddie Mac for working as a consultant.

HUH? Does Newt realize that Fannie and Freddie historically have been among the most widely held stocks in EVERY mutual fund?

So it is ok to buy and sell them, but to have a consulting contract is naughty, very very naughty?

He ripped him for the flat out irony/hypocrisy of Milt even saying anything about Newt’s Freddie relationship...because Milt or Milt’s company had invested in said company. Not for the investment itself.
