Note to John J. Pitney Jr., (and your cronies at the Post): That feature that dismantles myths, clarifies common misconceptions and makes you think again about what you thought you already knew might seem a bit more credible if you started by correcting the numerous outright lies about Gingrich's first marriage, his departure from the Speaker's office, the false ethics charges filed by political opponents, and the circumstances of Bill Clinton's impeachment, all of which your paper has reported as fact in an attempt to damage Gingrich's character. My advice to you is that its all going to come out anyway, so you might as well get ahead of the story.

Well said. A significant amount of what the WP publishes is distorted, biased BS designed to enhance circulation rather than to report news.

Pitney's not a Post staffer.

He's a professor at Claremont McKenna College who's written for National Review, Reason, City Journal, and the Claremont Review.

If he's dumping on Newt, it's because Newt is such an easy target and such a lousy candidate.

“Five myths about Newt Gingrich (the candidate WaPo fears most)”

This is ridiculous. EVERY GOP candidate has been the one WaPo fears most...except for wormney. It’s just Newt’s turn.

They fearing him for his progressive amnesty plans or his progressive algore global warming agenda? Yeah. They are real scared!
