Old news. Anyways the Newt reference to rational talk about Bain was with Obama lurking in the background. This is merely CBS going to bat for Mitt as would be expected.
Misleading title. In fact, the whole CBS story is designed to mislead about the entire exchange Gingrich had with the ROMNEY voter.
It is true that it’s difficult to criticize Mitt on his Bain activities without it dovetailing with Obama’s and the Left’s anti-capitalist, class warfare campaign.
Hey, Ann, is that you?
Headline—>Newt Gingrich: I can’t talk rationally about Romney’s Bain record.
Actual quote-—>”Obama just makes it impossible to talk rationally .....”
No wonder they are called See BS.
Why is Gingrich always so influenced by Democrats? In the 90s, Gingrich lost the Speaker’s chair in a conservative rebellion because Clinton made him allow too much federal spending in the late 90s, running up what was then a post WW2 high of federal spending at 21% of GNP. Now he claims Obama’s making him out OWS the OWS on venture capitalism. And of course Nancy Pelosi made him jump the shark on global warming. Which Democrat’s thrall will Gingrich fall under if he’s president?? Santorum is the true conservative in the GOP field. Enough phony Newt.
“I want to beg you to redirect and go after his obvious disingenuosness about his conservatism and lay off the corporatist versus the free market,” said the voter. “
Conservatives are all vulture capitalists? Nah.
Screw CBS...as all of the MSM, they vehemently want Willard the Lib to prevail over the CONSERVATIVE Newt.
Polling today tells them that Newt wins SC if CONSERVATIVES UNITE.
AND SC has decided our eventual nominee since 1980.

That headline is no more accurate than the phrase “CBS News”.
The title is an outright lie, and the rest is typical CBS garbage.
That was a pretty lame answer. He cant talk rationally about Bain because Obama is playing class warfare? That is not the thinking of an adult.
OWS rhetoric is alive and well on both sides of the aisle.
I want to see Mitt’s tax records. I think he is still a partner at Bain & that he is still making an income from such association.
Nice misleading headline, CBS.
Remember Newt Gingrich in NY23 and Dede girl!!! Apt Newt Gingrich description, political traitor to conservatives, he cost us NY23!!! And....Pelosi lover, and...James Clyburn lover!!! Lots of fooled folks on this site!!! Newt is, without a doubt, not the one!!! Broom him!!! As for Perry, poor guy is just not the sharpest gent in the drawer. Perry/Gingrich, morning toast!!!
That is some amazing spin.
These guys (CBS) are so dishonest!
