Nearly 14 years ago in an appearance on “The Charlie Rose Show,” former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich revealed that he had sought advice from Pennsylvania State University coach Joe Paterno while at the helm of the U.S. House of Representatives.
“I’ve talked to Joe Paterno at Penn State a couple of times and said, ‘Alright, I’m not getting this thing done right. What would you change?’ He gave me very good advice about how he coaches and how he brings along his assistant coaches and how he deals with the players. He said, ‘First of all, you’ve got to be clear in your own mind,’ and that’s one of the reasons for writing the book.”

Good question! Ronald Reagan shook Michael Jackson's hand at the WH does that make him a child molester?
I heard Newt used to enjoy watching OJ Simpson play for SC.

I don’t plan to read an article with a headline like that....any new revelations about Obama and the White Hating Rev Wright.. “No?”....of Larry Sinclair....”No?”....If not, I not interested.
Reagan a child molester? Not so bad. After all, it is only a sexual lifestyle choice, isn't it? I'm not going to criticize someone's choice of lifestyle.
However, Ronald Reagan shook Michael Jackson's hand at the White House! Therefore, Michael Jackson is a conservative, which deserves the highest level of outrage, loud condemnation and social ostracism!
Tough crowd.
