The New Hampshire Union Leader credits Newt Gingrich with engineering the 1994 Republican Revolution when Republicans took their first majority in Congress in 50 years and Newt ascended to the role of Speaker.

But Gingrich deserves more credit for ship-wrecking that Revolution. Within just two years, Newt Gingrich shut-down the government and his approval rating dropped to just 25 percent. It never recovered.

Hilarious, this guy has it exactly backwards. It was Newt, not the media that catapulted him to the leadership, the first R house in 40 years, and the only balanced budgets ever produced by the Fedgov. And it was the MEDIA, not Newt, that put his popularity in the gutter because they had to destroy him with relentless attacks and bogus ethics charges, JUST LIKE THEY DID TO SARAH. Anybody who wants to take their side now, and use trumped up charges against one of our own, is as bad as a lying conniving leftist...
