Unforgivable: Intense Video Captures Iowa Voter Calling Gingrich Embarrassment for Ryan Remarks
This was the spontaneous encounter that Newt Gingrich absolutely did not need today. Already in damage control for his comments implying that Rep. Paul Ryans plan to fix Medicare amounted to right-wing social engineering, and the fuzziness of his how his views on individual healthcare mandates might differ from Obamacarian ones, Gingrich had even posted a video clarifying his views. And then this happened. Just one of those chance meetings in the lobby of a Holiday Inn that can prove enormously problematic for a presidential candidate. Key part of the clip hits about 1:40:

Thanks for posting that so close to bedtime. If I have nightmares, it will be all your fault, martin_fierro!!!
That is seriously freaky, but with more than a hint of artistic genius.
newt has just proven himself the political whore. he likes the sound of his own words so well it matters not what he says.
So sorry, newt.
Good points. Can’t argue.
At this time there is no cream to rise to the top.
No kidding.
Only dregs to sink to the bottom.
We’re having enough trouble getting traction for Ryan’s plan. There is no excuse for Newt to undermine all of Ryan’s hard work like this.
Just watched; nice. Nice to see good conservatives here Iowa getting some press.
Haven’t laughed this hard all day. I needed that :)
Newt is a long time proven failure.
He just proved it again.
GOP has quite a long line of proven failures.
I think we should ignore all of them if we are serious about winning.
Exactly
(Just D@mn, that Pelosi dame must've really been smokin' HAWT on that couch they shared.)
Cheers!
Dude.
Stop that.
You’re gonna scare small animals and children.
The mainstream press is looking on in horror as each of their “acceptable Republican candidates” (Gingrich, Huckabee, Romney, and even Trump) either declines to run or self destructs.
Deep in their guts they know that Palin is going to be the last one standing and that they have already expended their ammo; yet still she survives. All she has to do now is announce her candidacy and she immediately becomes the front-runner.
Caught a little of him on Levin this afternoon back-peddling like an advanced spinning class - brought a smile to my face.
That’s how it appears.
There won’t be enough supporters to fill his newt-ist camp.Sorry I couldn’t resist :-)
Quite true. Let’s hope otherwise else the country is screwed.
Bret Baier aired this on his show last night and the panel also referrenced it in their discussion of Newt’s trip up.
The panel unanimously opined that Newt is now toast.
Nope, the anti-0bama candidate must be a “fighter-statesman” this time.
The moderates will have to decide whether what the candidate says is true or not, and not just decide on who is “least offensive”.
