Actually this is good news for Newt. If George Will hates him he must be doing something right.
Will and Newt are both posers.
Neither is really conservative.
Both are little more than opportunist insiders.
RINO fight!
Newt +1
Will -whogivesadamn
Lol...!
Will is on the side of the liberal angels.

Gingrich’s Conservative Bonafides Proven
From the same site: Paul Krugman, George Will, Megan McCain, and Jay Leno don’t like Newt.
I consider that to be all positive for Newt.
Gingrich pursued higher education....He received a B.A. in history from Emory University in Atlanta ...in 1965...a M.A. in 1968, and a PhD in modern European history from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1971. ... Gingrich worked early on in academia, as an assistant professor of history and geography at West Georgia College....years later, in 1993, he taught a class, Renewing American Civilization, at Kennesaw State College in Georgia.[18]
Yep - obviously no historian...
It was at Will’s house that Obama dined with Will and other “conservative” MSM’ers, e.g., David Brooks, Charles “The Kraut” Krauthammer, Kudlow, etc. early on in his administration to give them his rules of conduct. So, that gives us a good idea where Will is.
In one of the debates (or was it a speech somewhere?) Newt listed the first 5 (?) executive orders he would issue as POTUS, all of them realistic and achievable, unlike the vague promises of all other candidates (999 anyone?) requiring legislation, compromises, etc. That’s enough to hold his feet to the fire.
I think George Will is annoyed that if Newt Gingrich is in the vicinity, then Will isn’t the smartest guy in the room, anymore. George may be a RINO but he makes some valid points regarding Newt. I respect Gingrich but I simply do not believe he is a conservative in any real sense and I don’t trust him. Those who claim that because we hold politicians posing as conservatives accountable for their positions and actions, we ‘don’t want to win the election’ are succumbing to the tired old ‘they’re the best we can do’ mindset that gives us ‘compassionate conservatives’ and those who may be conservative on a few issues but overall, tend to look to government as the ultimate ‘answer’ to every problem. Newt Gingrich is bold, clearly intelligent and quite outspoken, which are definitely attributes. But his past actions have shown that he can be mercurial and occasionally downright embarrassing. I believe that any one of the GOP presidential primary candidates are able to defeat the utterly failed Barack Obama but I would prefer to have the candidate that beats him be a conservative, not an unpredictable neo-RINO. That’s why I support Herman Cain.
So, he thinks he is worst than burnt toast!!!
I really don’t like George Will.
George Will once made a clumsy pass at his geometry teacher. He turned him down.
Will is another RINO Romeny supporter.
