That's the Gingrich I remember - an idea a minute, most of them ridiculous or bad, and without the self-control needed to prevent blurting them out!

Romney to Gingrich: You’re lying when you say I’m lying ( What's next with the clowns? "I'm rubber and you're glue?" LOL! ) by Jane Musgrave \| January 26th, 2012 In what has quickly turned into a finger-pointing game of you’re the biggest liar, Mitt Romney responded to Newt Gingrich’s charge that he is “fundamentally dishonest” by insisting that the former House Speaker “can’t tell the truth.” “Speaker Gingrich has demonstrated that can’t tell the truth about his unprecedented ethics reprimand, his resignation in disgrace at the hands of his own party, and his work as a highly paid Washington lobbyist for Freddie Mac,” Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said shortly after Gingrich blasted the former Massachusetts governor during a morning stop in Mount Dora. Gingrich accused Romney, a multimillionaire businessman, of holding stock in both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and investing in . mortgage-backed securities with Goldman Sachs. The current owners of the mortgage debt are foreclosing on tens of thousands of Floridians. Gingrich said he couldn’t believe his chief rival in the GOP presidential primary had the “gall” to criticize his $1.6 million consulting contract with Freddie Mac when Romney’s own business ties were so deep and led to so much misery for average citizens. “There is something so grotesquely hypocritical about the Romney campaign that it is going to meltdown in the next several weeks as Americans learn more about him,” Gingrich said. Gingrich has insisted he was nothing more than a consultant/historian for Freddie Mack. He has only released one year of a multi-year contract which didn’t illuminate exactly what he did. Pointing out that Gingrich reported to Freddie Mac’s chief lobbyist, Romney has said Gingrich used the influence he gained as House Speaker to pad his own wallet at the expense of homeowners who later fell victim to Freddie Mac’s bad decisions. postonpolitics.com
