Newt Gingrich blasts CNN for opening the debate with a question about "open marriage," a topic discussed by his ex-wife Marianne Gingrich in an interview with ABC news.

Gingrich responded sharply saying, "I am astounded that CNN would use it to open a presidential debate."

Gingrich proceeded to attack the media for being biased against Republican candidates. "I am tired of the elite media of protecting Barack Obama," he said. "They would like to attack any Republican."

The audience responded with a standing ovation.

The media just can’t help themselves. They know by now Newt hits softballs like this out of the park every time, but they can’t stop asking stupid, biased questions.

The commies at CNN don’t seem to have a problem with Slick Willie’s “open marriage”. What’s up with that?

And still we know nothing about the man at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. I believe with every personal question asked from now on in a debate the answer should be, did you ask the same questions to Obama and will you ask personal questions to Obama.

Go NEWT Go!

King looked pretty gobsmacked. The crowd was clearly behind Newt’s retort, because they understood what he was saying.

Unfortunately, too many moderates and liberals don’t even understand the liberal media bias issue, probably because they’re CNN and MSNBC viewers.

Both of them? Just kidding, they're aren't too many viewers of these networks. This is probably the best night CNN has had in a long time.

I couldn't have been happier with Newt's opening to King if he walked over and backhanded him in front of everybody.

[savagesusie]

Good for him. I think I will vote for him just because of this. Sarah Palin is right.
