Newt would have been better served had he just said he made mistakes and engaged in inappropriate behavior and has asked God for forgiveness and is attempting to live the rest of his life in a better way. And maybe he is but he did not articulate it very well.
I think Newt needs to do a sit down interview with somebody like Brit Hume and expound on this issue in a more forthright way. He needs to address his Nazi Pelosi thing and why he was bamboozled into backing Dede Scuzzafuvva even when he had to know he was on the wrong side. Americans are pretty forgiving if they think someone is being genuine. Otherwise he may as well forget it.
