Gingrich "bitch-Slaps" MSNBC's Allen Over Palin

An MSNBC Reporter tonight learned a very important lesson about political Journalism, you don't mess with Gingrich. Fresh from the evenings activities Gingrich was approached on the convention floor by MSNBC's Ron Allen who said to the former Speaker, "But to be fair, her resume is not something we're familiar seeing with presidential candidates."

This didn't sit well with Gingrich who strongly replied (video embedded above):

It's stronger than Barack Obama's. I don't know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She's been a real mayor, he hasn't. She has been a real governor, he hasn't. She's been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn't. She was a whistleblower who defeated an incumbent mayor. He has never once shown that kind of courage. She's a whistleblower who turned in the chairman of her own party and got him fined $12,000. I've never seen Obama do one thing like that. She took on the incumbent governor of her own party and beat him, and then she beat a former Democratic governor in the general election. I don't know of a single thing Obama's done except talk and write.

Newt then challenged Allen:

I'd like you to tell me one thing Sen. Obama's done.

With that, Allen retreated, and said:

Thanks very much, Mr. Speaker. I'm going to leave it there. I'm not going to argue the case. Thanks very much.

Hmmm. Imagine that. I guess folks like Allen are only willing to argue the case when there's nobody playing the part of the defense attorney.

How convenient.

The best 65 seconds of the campaign so far. Republican surrogates and talking heads should simply memorize Newt’s response because they are doing a lousy job of defending Palin, IMHO.

After the video went to Olbermann the snark and he said there were openings there.

Ha! Olbermann thinks he’s Obama’s press secretary. I’d love to see him go head to head with Newt. Newt knows what he’s talking about, and all KO can do is spout a bunch of koolaid nastiness. He’d have to do the change the subject routine on a regular basis.

Colmes told Rudy that what Obama did was “pass ethics legislation”. To which Rudy and Sean had a laugh attack.

Worth repeating:

She has a stronger resume than Obama. She’s been a real mayor, he hasn’t. She has been a real governor, he hasn’t. She’s been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn’t. She was a whistleblower who defeated an incumbent mayor. He has never once shown that kind of courage. She’s a whistleblower who turned in the chairman of her own party and got him fined $12,000. I’ve never seen Obama do one thing like that. She took on the incumbent governor of her own party and beat him, and then she beat a former Democratic governor in the general election. I don’t know of a single thing Obama’s done except talk and write.

Nicely done, Newt.
These points should be repeated at every opportunity...

Ron allen almost turned white - was very funny.

He should maybe try to be a sideline reporter for the NFL.

Newt has a copy of The Game Plan, and I think he helped script it.

I hope the rest of our guys start taking this aggressive tone towards the openly hostile media.

We are still waiting to see Obama's resume. "Community organizer" just sounds so, like you know, sounds so wussy, prissy, sissy!

I must admit that I have never been that big of a Newt fan, until seeing last night's video of him being interviewed by this idiot with a microphone.

Way to go Newt!

It’s stronger than Barack Obama’s. I don’t know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She’s been a real mayor, he hasn’t. She has been a real governor, he hasn’t. She’s been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn’t. She was a whistleblower who defeated an incumbent mayor.

“Community Organizer” = professional grievance monger who does no actual good for society.

yes, its here

Newt is brilliant in giving unprepared, thoughtful analysis, and gives Palin highest accolades as a Leader for many years to come.
