No, I’m not. Are you?
But I respect the fact that you have made a plausible argument.
That said, I don’t see what conservative in their right mind would take on this consultancy job, unless he could publicly demonstrate that he tried relentlessly to shape the organization’s leadership to conservative principles?
Moreover, why in Hell’s Bells would Freddie Mac hire Gingrich as a consultant in the first place? We all know very well, as did he, that the Freddie/Fannie executives and their cronies in Congress were not in any way, shape or form open to CONSERVATIVE approaches.
Still a little stinky, if you ask me.
Well, I don’t know what he advised them, and it could be that he betrayed his conservative beginnings, but I’m not ready to proclaim that I automatically know the nature of his work like a lot of others have. In fact, I have seen it called a scandal by persons with no clue of what he actually did. Hilarious.
“Moreover, why in Hell’s Bells would Freddie Mac hire Gingrich as a consultant in the first place?”
Why in hell’s bells would Freddie hire Frank Luntz & the host of other conservatives they did? Does Luntz have “cronies” in congress he could influence?
Fannie & Freddie didn’t become inherently bad until Clinton, Frank, Dodd & co. started working their dastardly deeds.
