LOL. Not very politic, but funny.

What did mitt say?

[mkjessup]

“The fact is you ran in ’94 and lost, and that’s why you were not serving with Rick Santorum. The fact is you had a bad re-election rating. You dropped office. You had been out of state for something like 200 days and preparing to run for president. You didn’t have this interlude of citizenship while you thought about what to do. You were running for president while you were governor. You were going all over the country, and you were out of state consistently. You then promptly re-entered politics and you happened to lose to [John] McCain as you lost to [Ted] Kennedy. Now, you’re back running. You have been running consistently for years and years and years, and the idea that then suddenly citizenship showed up in your mind, and just level with the American people. You have been running since the 1990s.”

BAM!!!

Now THAT ought to leave a mark on the Mitt-Witt.

[Moorings]

B-e-a-utiful!!! Wish he had done a little bit more of this last night.

“I realize the red light doesn’t mean anything to you because you are the front-runner — but could we drop a little bit of the pious baloney?” Gingrich said.

I'd have phrased it a little differently, something like

Haven't we had enough of people who think the rules don't apply to them because "I won."?

[PittsburghAfterDark]

Sad to say but I agree with Newt.

Romney is just like Clinton was when he was elected governor or Arkansas. The second Clinton won he was looking ahead to Pennsylvania Avenue, Arkansas governor was merely a step along the way. He was able to position himself as a new Democrat who could get elected in the increasingly red state south.

Likewise Romney has never had any credentials or pull other than saying he was a Republican able to hold the state house in the bluest of blue states. We all know what kind of Republican it takes to pull that off, anything but a conservative.

The funny thing is Santorum has better credentials at getting elected in blue districts and then in a blue state. He has also done so without being anything but a conservative.

[NoPrisoners]

GO NEWT!!! So glad to see him taking Romney to task for this BS!

[harpu]

So, Newt, what do you really think?!?

[ez]

Eugene Robinson actually had a good line. He said somewhere in NH, a deli is racing to formulate their new “Pious Baloney Sandwich.”

[MinuteGal]

Where's that great photo of the deflated elephant balloon posted on another thread?

That's what Newt just did to Romney.

ROTFLMAO!

[VideoDoctor]

Whatever anyone's oppinion of Newt this is the kind of candor and TRUTH that the American public needs to hear on a regular basis.

Painting an HONEST picture is an accurate starting point toward bringing about TRUE change.

[kalee]

LOL Gingrich speaks truth to Mitt.

[Christie at the beach]

These were good/thoughtful comebacks by Rick and Newt. To see Mitt, laugh, says it all. Rommey is Bob Dole all over again. ( Bob Dole is a much nicer person IMO) Romney grooms for a long time to be president. Didn’t one of his sons even say that!? Another Obama ( me me me me) Romney cannot win. He’s hoping along with Rove, that anybody but Obama, will get Mitt in. They do not want to accept that many of the voters want real change of how our government works. If Mitt were a conservative, he could have this tied up. I am glad to see voters are wanting a conservative and a change. It gives hope in this time in which our country is out of control and needs a new direction. With Obama and the political correct politicans in the GOP doing nothing to save our country, we need someone to take on the corruption and say it like it is.

[Future Snake Eater]

Debate

The clip in question is around the 9:50 mark.

[Right Wing Assault]

Did Newt and Mitt shake hands and hug each other all smiles after the debate?

[DManA]

Good advice to all of us.

Newt hits Romney: ‘Could we drop a little bit of the pious baloney?’

Best line of the whole debate. The audience loved it!

[the invisib1e hand]

pious baloney. now available where Kosher products are sold.

[familyop]

"Romney explained to the New Hampshire audience why he was running for president and how he is business experience made him different from his fellow competitors."

He and his fellow, bipartisan not-really-competitors have probably done as most established businesses have done for a long time: regulated against any new, small business starts.

No-vote. Starve the B.

[Baynative]

"You were running for president while you were governor. You were going all over the country, and you were out of state consistently. You then promptly re-entered politics ..."

Pot calling the kettle black...

[Salvation]

** but could we drop a little bit of the pious baloney?” Gingrich said.**

Way to go, Newt!
