Why, another one of those famous third party posts, Bill. Have you written to Newt, to tell him who really caused his tragic downfall? All the idiots who disagree with your politics wasn't the problem, according to Newt. Maybe it would comfort him if you set him straight on the matter. Gingrich's reflexive pugilistic response was evident even tonight. In his second conference call, said several members who listened, Gingrich blamed House conservatives for his downfall. Although it was their revolutionary zeal he harnessed to take control of Congress, they have become his most bitter critics in the last two years of his tumultuous speakership. Friday night he called them cannibals who had "blackmailed" him into quitting, said those listening to the call. Representative Michael P. Forbes, Republican of New York, said, "Newt said all those who had marginalized the Republican Party had engaged in cannibalism." Another Republican, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described the conference call this way: "He started off very statesmanlike, but then you could see the anger building. When someone asked him why he was leaving, he said, 'A handful of members have blackmailed the conference.' He said, 'They're hateful.' And he said, 'They're cannibals.' " (from nytimes.com That cannibal thing is a new one, Bill. I await with great anticipation you tossing it back my way. So much hatred, Bill. How strange that it would show up in the Republican party congressional delegation.
