The show aired for many years on CNN before being stopped in 2005 after it was criticized by “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart. But new CNN boss Jeff Zucker has advocated bringing it back.

Wow. Interesting that Gingrish and Cupp would be on board for this flogging.

Other than being found “relevant” according to the media, they will ultimately be diminished in the eyes of the LIVs.

Too bad.

The House vote might be cancelled because Bonehead doesn’t want to embarrass the Prez

Yep. Newt and Cupp are not perfect conservatives, not by a long shot. But neither are they wishy-washy Boehner types.

And thanks for the heads up. I'm going to set my DVR for it now.

Boehner needs to resign in shame or be honest and switch parties.

If Boner cancels the vote, 0bama will argue that this gives him the right to attack.

Yes, of course. Boehner would fall on his face and agree.

I guess Newt is getting desperate for publicity. All he will do is provide a platform that will allow leftists to lob more missiles at him.

“CrossFire” was a great show when Pat Buchanan and Robert Novak were on it. Carville and Begala ruined it. S.E. Cupp can be provocative and interesting, but mainly she’s put on to be eye candy to draw in some male viewers.

Yup, CNN had Crossfire, MSNBC had “Equal Time” with Oliver North and Begala and Fox had “Hannity and Colmes”.

Cutter and Jones are intellectually vacant. They’ll be easy pickings for Newt and Cupp.

Not a fan of giving Van Jones more media face time.

He is radical. And he is smart.
A formidable opponent.

Not just that- but that is a great point - Jones will toss the race card and because Newt wants an income, he’ll not be quite the Newt we want on the show and they 4 of them will act like budies...just watch, I’ll be right.

I can’t imagine two people more politically apart than Gingrich and Van Jones.

Cupp is loathsome and this is really funny.

The very last Glenn Beck show I ever listened to featured Beck and SE Cupp yucking it up about how stupid Newt is. Beck called him “dumber than a shoehorn” and Cupp said “the thing most people forget is that Newt is a truly awful person.”

That show will go no where with 10 boobs on it.

SE Cupp displaying cleavage wil be the highlight of the show.

Why have an avowed Marxist (in a suit) on “Crossfire”? Isn’t there a less smirky marxist they could have hired, such as Lawrence O’Donnell or Katrina van den Heuvel?

Cupp ain’t what she used to be.
Neither if Newt.

A waste of time for the non-brain addled viewers.
