William Jefferson Gingrich [BAD BEAT, RIVERED]
New York Sun ^ | January 25, 2012 | R. EMMETT TYRRELL

Posted on 01/25/2012 3:53:39 PM PST by Nonstatist

Newt up against the Prophet Obama would be a painful thing to watch. He might be deft with one-liners but it would be futile. There are .. uncommitted voters to be cultivated in 2012 — all would be unmoved by Newt’s juggling of conservative shibboleths..

Now Newt is hustling my fellow conservatives .. The last time around he successfully hustled conservatives in the House of Representatives and on the House impeachment committee.. He blew the impeachment and .. his role as Speaker. He now says Republicans in the House were exhausted with his great projects. Nonsense, they were exhausted with his atrocious leadership...

He is playing the liberal media card and saying he embodies conservative values. Newt is hoping conservatives suffer amnesia. Perhaps they cannot recall mere months ago when this insufferable whiz kid was lambasting the great Congressman Paul Ryan for “right-wing social engineering” — more evidence of Newt’s not-so-hidden longing for the approval of the liberal media.

Newt and Bill ..went on to create empires, Bill in philanthropy and cheap thought, Newt in public policy and cheap thought. Bill has wrung up an unprecedented $75.6 million since absconding from the White House with White House loot and shameless pardons. Newt .. got between $1.6 million to $1.8 million from Freddie Mac, and he lobbied for Medicare Part B while receiving, according to the Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney, “Big Bucks Pushing Corporate Welfare.” Now after a lifetime in Washington he is promoting himself as an outsider.

Conservatives should not be surprised by the scandals that lie ahead, if they stick with him. Those of us, who raised the question of character in 1992, were confronted by an indignant Bill Clinton, treating the topic as a low blow. By now we know. Character matters.. Newt has Clinton’s character.

R. Emmett lost my following years ago. The man has been out of touch with conservatives for years. His analysis is useful over the many cocktails he consumes otherwise....not

Mr. Kudlow calls Mr. Romney “Reaganesque.”

So sad Larry back hitting the crack pipe again.

Aside from all of the obvious tripe in the article...

How did Newt blow the impeachment? Didn’t that happen in the Senate?

Buh bye to Terrell or to the poster? Are we really an echo chamber? There is some real meat here regarding Newt’s character.

Your comment suggests that it is YOUR deck that is missing a few cards.

Newt has Clinton’s character.

Deeply flawed? Absolutely. Caligula? Not quite.

Didn’t that happen in the Senate?The trial was in the Senate. The honorable (NOT) Trent Lott made sure nothing happened to Clinton. The GOP-e protects the elites of bother Parties. Lott and the rest were slimny in their efforts.

I don't think Newt serially raped woman, murdered
White House staff and State Police security.
