Newt seems to be pretty proficient at doing "hit pieces" on himself.
Damn close, the man is a self centered a hole.
Newt = the gift that keeps on giving. To Democrats. Or himself. But I repeat myself.
Shades of Gingrich of the 90s who was under ethics investigations then.
Newts problems have never been his intelligence or political acumen. His problem is his character. (or lack thereof).
But I'm sure glad to see that the MSM is all over this, it's only fair seeing how much attention they have paid to all the members of 0bama's administration that have had tax "troubles". < / sarcasm >
The Left is really giving him the Richard Nixon treatment. Nixon was a strong anti-communist in the 1940s and 1950s. He was an important part in the Alger Hiss case. The Left never forgot that. In the end, the Left used a third-rate burglary to bring Nixon down. They had to treat Watergate as the worst crime ever committed against humanity, but in the end Nixon resigned and the Left was happy.
Gingrich is the guy who gave Bill Clinton the most trouble. The Left has never forgotten that. They will work tirelessly to bring him down. Taxes? Bills at Tiffany's? Whether these are important or not does not matter to the Left. They will use any tool they can find to destroy Gingrich.
They do the same to Palin, of course (because of Trig) but their attacks against her have a harder time sticking because she doesn't make the mistakes that Gingrich does.
Boy...would that ever be full-circle political poetic justice karma.
It’s been called “founders’ syndrome”. Often the founder of a nonprofit will treat it like his own for profit business.
What Gingrich is accused of - setting up a nonprofit that is in reality a political entity - is what the Left does all the time, by the thousands.

Notice Gingrich is not offering to open up his books. It is likely the IRS will now do it for him.
If they go after Gingrich for this, they should go after all of them, because they all do this funny accounting. And I say good...they make the rules for us, and then create the loopholes for theselves.
Weiner will resign and the Rats need something to completely wipe that slate clean in the sheeples memory, enter the IRS Gingrich investigations.
Gingrich will be the new MSM and late night comedians focus.
