It may feel comfy to remain filled with half truths which support your dislike for Newt Gingrich, but on the off chance that there are more open readers, here's why Newt made that stupid error: he has said on Special Report that he had hoped to have conservatives in the global warming deabte rather than just giving the issue over to the democrats. He has siad the photo op and ad were just 'dumb', that he was ambushed and should have known better. That is the reality of the couch scene ... and that was the single biggest drawback I had over Newt, which he answered quite satisfactorily for me, both in the debate and in that lengthy Special Report interview with Bret Baier's 'team'.
here's the interview:
