Given the continued losses at Freddie Mac, I think Newt should give his consulting fees back. His advice was either unheeded or not worth it.

Well, Freddie Mac did get their $181 billion bailout with support from republicans. For them, buying Gingrich was a very good deal.

It is amazing how ignorant many FR posters are of how things work in Washington. If you pay Newt 300K a year, don’t expect more than a sit down dinner and a six page report. For Henry the K you will pay ten times that much for the same output. For Bill Clinton, a little less.
