Frankly I’m puzzled by the pungent vitriol that beck, coulter, krauthammer, hume, etc are showing.

Krauthammer just seems to be in the 'Newt can't get elected camp' but the others seem to have a personal animosity against Newt.

I wonder what it is?

Toss out Beck. He's full of himself and out of his mind.

IIRC, Hume's family is Virginia landed gentry, but Krauthammer, Noonan, George Will the other Beltway pundity are mostly NorthEastern snobs.

They're the same snooty peeps who looked down at Sarah Palin's journalism degree from the University of Idaho.

I think they're torqued that the Southern boy from Georgia, Newt Gingrich is smarter than all of them put together, and they look down on him because his PhD is from Tulane. Oh the horrors! He's not Ivy league! He's unfit. He's Southern and "common."

I also think it's fair to surmise that several of them back-stabbed him and fear he might hold grudges and don't want him in power, because he fully intends to radically change Washington.
