Newt Gingrich’s on-again, off-again adulation of Hillary Rodham Clinton appears to be back on.
The leader of the 1994 Republican revolution — who as House speaker in the mid 1990s clashed fiercely with then-first lady Clinton and her husband, Bill Clinton — attributed her surprise victory in New Hampshire to the Democratic presidential candidate’s courage, integrity and openness.
After Clinton’s third-place finish in the Jan. 3 Iowa Democratic caucuses, “it would have been very easy for her to have broken, accepted defeat,” Gingrich said in a weekly podcast e-mailed to supporters.
“Instead, starting on Saturday night, she fought back with greater and greater intensity, and she opened herself up," Gingrich went on. “She talked as a person, without all the protection, without all the discipline, and she became more and more appealing.”
Gingrich said that shift demonstrated “the courage to learn” and enabled the New York senator to grow “in the space of three or four days to a much more attractive, much more aggressive and much more appealing candidate.”
As a result, he posited, New Hampshire voters who made up their minds at the last minute “were going to Sen. Clinton, were affected by her campaign, by her integrity, by her openness.”
Gingrich’s podcast, one of many products cranked out by his political groups, also had similarly high praise for Arizona Sen. John McCain, who won New Hampshire’s Republican presidential primary.

That one's a RINO. That one can't win. That one's lazy. That one's another RINO. That one's not pro-life That one's not pro-life enough. That one raised taxes. That one's a Mormon.
Write off al of those, and gee? Where did everyone go?
He’s bucking for a VP slot with Hillary.
Okay. I’m convinced.
He is totally “yame.” In Panamanian Spanish, that means “nuts.”
Well, as I’ve always said, the Democrat Party is the new Socialist Party, and the Republican Party is the new Democrat Party. Look at the likely candidates for both parties in the 2008 election and tell me if this would have been the case even 20 years ago.
What a snatch. He caved at the Government shutdown and hasn’t had any balls since.
Unless there's a dead girl or a live boy, how much could there be that we don't know already? We know that when his wives approach fifty, he changes them in for two twenty-fives.
Newt may not be my favorite guy, but he’s pretty sharp. He wants Hill to be the candidate the Repubs go up against.
Naw, I think this is just proof that Hillary has updated Newts FBI file.
Excellent speech. Thanks for posting it. It deserves to have its own thread—if you haven’t done so already.

Whadda pansy Neutie has become!
Yeesh, what next?
Excellent!
I feel sure there’s at least one illegal woman in that crowd despite what Hillary! says.
Did you take a close look at Hill’s sombrero?? Lol
Yep, and the graphic is good too!
ROTFLOLOLOL!
That is GREAT!
I totally missed it the first time.
But, it’s very fitting, as long as it’s not Hillary. lol
Could be, it’s large looking! snicker
Potlatch...you couldn’t make it big enough. lol
