Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich demonstrated Tuesday why every liberal media member in the country is scared to death of him winning the nomination and going head-to-head in a debate with Barack Obama.
When CNN's Piers Morgan tried to play his normal cocky role of knowing more than his guest, the former Speaker of the House smartly replied, "I've been involved with politics since 1958, I helped grow the modern Republican Party of Georgia, I helped create a national majority, and you're explaining to me the reality of politics" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

You could count on that!
“The President is too busy doing the peoples’ work and saving mankind from the horrors of Conservatism!”
The media can try, but Newt will be prepared and they’re shooting their load on Cain. Their slime machine will have zero credibility when they finally turn their focus to Gingrich.
Ah no he did not. He deferred because by the terms of the debate it was Newt’s turn to go first.
Don't tell that to Jimmy Carter ("there you go again") or Michael Dukakis (Death Penalty Question)
None of these guys are going to hold a candle to Newt in any discussion about politics, foreign policy, taxes, welfare, etc., etc.
He would make a great president, but I do fear that he would be conservatively light on some social issues and immigration and the environment. Too willing to compromise on some of those issues.
That’s why I believe he woudl serve much better as a VP to someone like Cain. Would round him out very, very well.
There are times that I love Newt. He’s so intelligent and so cantankerous. I’d like to see him join forces with Cain.
Newt destroys all media types before him. This is a much different Newt than the one I saw fumbling his advantage away in the 1990’s. He knows they are the enemy and he treats them as such.
Seriously? The Citizens Legislature Act needed a 2/3 majority...wasn’t even close to the required number of votes..
Agree 100%. Let Cain present the initiatives to the public with his speaking ability while Nest hammers the details and works Congress like a rented mule.
You really do not want to go there. I like Newt.
It not his voting record that is the issue, it what he chose to make an issue and how quick he was to cave on principals “to get things done”.
Nest = Newt of course
Why did Newt go into “Brain Science?”
It must have been and editing context thing with the clip. Of all the topics that conservatives are passionate about, having the government involved in another medical solution sounds like spending to me.
I saw it and heard the tone of his voice. He could’t say anything and said “You go first.” I know what I saw.
I have been vilified for similar thoughts here. But I agree. I also want John Bolton as the Secretary of State under Cain.
People change for the better in their personal lives...the Newt of yesterday is not the same Newt of today. I could care less about what happened 20 yrs ago. Newt is the most intelligent candidate we have and the media knows it. Yesterday he left Krauthammer “befuddled,” lol and know Morgan walking on eggshells when it comes to confronting Newt on political knowledge. GOOOOOOOOOOOOO MR SPEAKER
There’s nothing more infuriating that being lectured to about American politics by Brits. Whether it is Tina Brown, Piers Morgan, Christopher Hitchens or Andrew Sullivan, none of these people have been in our country long enough to school another American - particularly someone of Newt’s caliber. And I don’t care whether they are citizens or not: they don’t have a “feel” for America.
Geesh! Don’t you two ever talk in person?
LOVE NEWT. Have been watching the debates, reading the candidates platforms, weighing and comparing and everytime I come up with Newt. I do not care what happened in his personal life 20 years ago..he is the right man for what ails this nation today.
Loved reading his bump plans with Romney...he makes Romney look like an idiot
You don't "work with" an enemy, you decimate them, and defeat them, utterly. The Democrats are enemies of this country. Enemies must be defeated, overwhelmingly.
