Smart move! Leaves the opposition to whine and speculate.
Consulting for Freddie Mac at $177K per year, is something quite short of “scandal”.

See yah around, Newt.

This makes it look like you’re hiding something.

That’s not a good idea.

If Newt is now toast over this, just think how easily it will be to take out obummer with all the info. the press has on him. This should be fun. Obummer will be beaten badly by Newt or any other Repub..

“Newtie is now TOAST!”

According to the standards used agaisnt Cain it would be logical to say that.

I’m expecting all types of cat calls now about how Newt mishandled this or how all of his advisers need to be fired.

I was ready to blast Newt, but after reading the actual article (I did it!), it sounds like the media wants to keep changing the question everytime Newt answers it.

It's a tactic they use to keep the story alive and apparently the Gingrich campaign is not going to play along.

The only real news in the article is that Freddie Mac confirmed that Gingrich was a consultant and not a lobbyist.

I guess Newt’s handlers found something that was even more embarrassing than the original story about his lobbying.

$1.6 million for a former Speaker to help kill a bill to increase oversight on Freddie Mac prior to their $500 billion (and counting) taxpayer-funded bailout is a little more significant than a $45,000 settlement for a frivolous sexual harassment claim.

And Mitt says “’mission accomplish’ - now who else will dare rise in the polls - #1 is my spot.”
