ROTFLOL!
Gingrich certainly has a way with words.

A former House speaker who helped engineer a sweeping Republican takeover of Congress in 1994, Newt Gingrich, yesterday criticized two of his party's 2008 presidential candidates for internecine squabbling this week.
"The idea that these campaigns have to be this utterly stupid and destructive," Mr. Gingrich told an audience at the Women's National Republican Club in Midtown. "I saw something the other day where Brownback is attacking Romney. I mean, what a dumb way to spend your life."
Mr. Gingrich was referring to a series of press release barbs traded by Senator Brownback of Kansas and Governor Romney of Massachusetts questioning each other's anti-abortion bona fides — a credential long considered essential to clinching the Republican nomination.
Mr. Gingrich also said candidates shouldn't spend two years running for president. For his part, the former congressman said he would decide by September whether to launch his own White House bid and join the crowded field.
...
As Mr. Gingrich glad-handed, posed for photos, and autographed books yesterday before his speech, dozens of members of the audience urged him to seek the nation's highest office.
"The first five or six didn't get to me, but by no. 60, it is very humbling to have a lot of different people walk up and say, 'You ought to run for president,' and say it with a passion," he said.

Uhh....isn't her criticizing Brownback?
I'm not sure of the presidency, but a Cheneyesque position of Executive VP might be optimal for Gingrich.
Good for Newt! I agree. Especially with all the people attacking Rudy. We should not be squabbling but united against the common enemy - the Democrats.
ROTFLOL!
Gingrich certainly has a way with words.
Heaven's to Betsy! If only Newt took his own advice!
Said the squabbler in chief who is the most disloyal Republican bar none.
I don't know if any of you saw the poll on Fox News tonight but of all the presidential candidates (announced and potential), Newt's unfavorability rating was the highest. It was 60-something percent.
I agree. The man is truly brilliant. Even when I was in Europe for two years (without news other than the European edition of the WSJ) back in the mid-'90s, I followed Newt and his Contract.
People should listen to him, read his resume, realize that he got us the House and the Senate.
Here's a sample for those who know little about Newt.

(can someone hotlink these?)
shhhhh...you're spoiling the surprise...
LOL. Pot calling Kettle. Pretty funny though.

What did he expect from his fans?
I'd vote for Newt in a heartbeat. The other candidates don't interest me enough to even bother leaving the house.
Good points. Maybe a tie :-)
Quite a few FReepers should take note of this. We should work to overcome Hillary and the rest of the liberals. Not each other.
And all the self-styled Reaganites should remember Ronnie's 11th Commandment.
(I'm sure you all know that one.)
