The blurb made it sound like Newt was encountering air turbulence while being interviewed.

Beck asked some tough, pointed questions about Newt's support for universal health care, part D medicare, global warming, ... basically revealed Newt's progressive tendencies. It was not contentious, nor was it a "gotcha", but Beck stood his ground and used Newt's own words from previous statements and interviews to confirm his points.

I listened to it. Beck was bloviating. Newt did ok. Not everything Newt does - I agree with, but we’re so screwed at this point, I’m voting for some good debate action between Newt & the Commie in the WH.

At least Newt can back up his positions in a coherent way.

I just don’t like Beck’s approach, although, he and others have every right to ask Newt (and all the others) hard questions.

Who is Beck supporting?

Does he want Mitt? I was just wondering.

Bullcrap. Since when is playing someone's audio clips and then asking about them "bloviating"? The Newt-Kerry "debate" was stunning: Kerry wanting to use the private sector (carbon tax) to "fix" global warming, and expressing shock as NEWT wants a big government approach. You can support Gingrich all you like, but you cannot deny the man has a neo-Progressive streak a mile wide.

Beck is following Mormon orders:

For a man of his own admitted inconsistent past, Beck has become rather arrogant and self-righteous to the point where I can’t listen to him any longer on radio.

Was wondering the same thing. Missed the first hour. Was there a ‘gotcha’ somewhere in the interview?

I remember Newt said in 2008 that Hillary would be a great leader.

I’m taking another look at Perry. I prefer Newt over Romney, but I am far from sold.

For instance, did you know that in the GWBush drug bill was the extension of Healthcare Savings accounts? Gingrich brought this up in the interview.

That’s what I like about him. He knows legislation so thoroughly that he can point out details like this that support (somewhat) his decisions.

Newt-haters point out that he supported the Fairness doctrine many, many years ago but fail to mention that it was during the time that the only source of “news” was CBS, NBC and ABC, hardly conservative outlets.
