Greg Hengler - "I wish Ann Curry had the same umpf, passion, and tenacity when interviewing liberals and Democrats. Geez."
Below is my dictation of the interview of Ann Curry questioning Newt Gingrich after reading the propaganda NYT editorial.
Curry - Are you intentionally playing the race card to win votes?
Gingrich - You know modern liberals are just, I think frankly, are totally off the deep end. I went to the Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast Monday morning with the Republican Congressman who is an African-American Tim Scott. We talked about the corridor of shame, which president Obama campaigned in South Carolina has done nothing for. I outlined a planned to build an I -73 corridor from a corridor of shame into a corridor of hope...
Curry interjects -- I'm asking you Newt Gingrich, I'm asking you Newt Gingrich the nature you are characterizing president Obama as a food stamp president?
Gingrich - I'm trying to make a point to you which is, when conservatives care about the poor, and conservatives offer ideas about to help the poor, and conservatives suggest that the poor would rather have a paycheck than a food stamp, the very liberals who have failed them at places, like places like the New York Times promptly scream racism because they have no defense for the failure of liberal institutions, which have trapped poor children in bad schools and have trapped them in bad neighborhoods. Liberal solutions have failed.
Curry - Alright lets move on. Back in 1995, your X-wife Marianne told Vanity Fair that she could derail your campaign with one TV interview. Tonight she is giving that interview.
Is there anything that she could say, Newt Gingrich, that could end your campaign?
Gingrich - I'm not going to say anything negative about Marianne. My two daughters Cathy and Jackie have sent a letter to the president of ABC News saying from a family perspective this thing is totally wrong...

Curry - Is your X-wife someone that you think that people should see as credible on your character?

Seriously. Newt’s bimbettes ended up married to him. Obama’s toys ended up dead.
First thanks for the agreement, and then thanks for... well... disagreeing. LOL
No problem. You make some good points of course. With Clinton it did escalate way beyond what Newt has been said to have done.
When I first found out about Clinton, it wasn’t for doing anything more than being unfaithful. That told me all I needed to know.
Let’s put that in context. I spent most of my adult life thinking Kennedy was a philandering prick. Along comes Clinton, and he’s doing the same thing. I knew before he was elected the first time. I wrote him off, and then had to endure all that followed.
What I am faced with today is this. Should I lower my standards to include folks like Clinton in the list of people I should consider supporting for the office of the presidency? Was I mistaken to count him out based on his marital mistakes alone, knowing what we knew in 1992?
I don’t think so.
That’s all true.
This is not meant as a defense since its not my place to defend anyone and I'm not a Newtonista, but the late, great Old Atlanta was a friend of Newts for many years and he told me, a short time before he died, that Newt and Marianne had been having a lot of problems because she wanted him to quit politics and she made his life miserable. So they agreed to a separation and Newt met & fell in love with Calista. When Marianne begged to give the marriage another try, Newt tried a second time, but it became impossible.
Like I said, he never lied to anyone about it and never blamed her.
I believe what Rush said this morning, the Left is attempting to "clear the decks" for Obama.
Gingrich like Clinton? Anybody seen a ‘Gingrich Body Count’ list?
Don’t let liars define the terms of the argument. You’ll lose every time.
Accept nothing. Challenge everything. You’ll be surprised.
I’ve said many, many times that Newt has baggage. Some of the things he’s done are indefenseable. He is gonna have to sell himself to the public and let them weigh what he has done against what kind of man people think he is today. Evidently you have made ur and decision and I respect that.
Character does matter, that is one of the things people will have to weigh for themselves.
True there a some similarities between the Bill and Newt but there are also some major differeces. Newt has been contrite, has asked for forgiveness, and given his life to Christ,that means a lot some us. Does that make him perfect? No...! It makes him human.
Clinton was never contrite. He fought, lied, and denied the things he had done to the very end. The man even lied under oath.
None of us is morally pure and neither is Newt. If you are looking for that perfect, moral candidate, you’ll never find him on this side of heaven. That’s life and that’s all we have.
Yes. I've also been disappointed by their choice of photos that go along with their blog posts.
I expect the NYT, WaPo, Time, Newsweek, etc., to use the ugliest pictures, but not our own media.

;^)
Was that when Obama was attending a racist church or when he hanging out with terrorists?
Absolutely! I am sick to death of Republicans acting like limp-kneed pansies.
I am tired of watching the media control the agenda. Someone needs to hand their butts to them and am glad Newt giving it back to them
Yes.
I am Certain that Newt’s sex life is none of my business. I’m relatively sure it’s none of yours.
Not a fan of Newt, eh? Shocker. /sarc
So whose your choice? Mitt?
Do not forget John Edwards...
Go Newt! Fight!
I like this guy! Smart man, quick on his feet, speaks the truth and isn’t intimidated by the MSM.
