What that has to do with Perry's comment is the issue...
Nice attempt at diversion though...
I give it an 8.
This was from a recnt article just to get an idea of how Newt is going to be destroyed leaving only Romney and Perry (unless Perry drops out but my guess is he's in it for the long haul and you'll be glad he stayed in)
In last week's CNBC debate, newly-minted top-tier Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich claimed he was hired by Fannie Mae to be a "historian," and claimed that pointed out flaws in their "insane" business model.
But an investigation by Bloomberg reveals that Gingrich was much more involved with the government-backed lender than he let on and that he was hired to promote the company (and its business practices) to other conservatives.
Bloomberg reports:
"Former Freddie Mac officials familiar with the consulting work Gingrich was hired to perform for the company in 2006 tell a different story. They say the former House speaker was asked to build bridges to Capitol Hill Republicans and develop an argument on behalf of the company's public-private structure that would resonate with conservatives seeking to dismantle it."
