Gregory might have written the questions, but Newt Gingrich's own words are his own. He needs to backtrack or clarify, or live with them. So far I've heard nothing except silence from Newt. He meant what he said.
In which case he's a liberal.
Don't make you believe you are a doufous ~ it's MONDAY MORNING. No doubt Newt spent the rest of the weekend in bed or at church ~ whatever.
Is he on Hannity this evening? They're probably filming his response to himself RIGHT NOW!
