DeLay Slams Gingrich


Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) ripped Newt Gingrich in an interview on KTRH-AM:

"What has been said about Newt is pretty much true. He had to step down because Republicans, conservative Republicans, wouldn't vote for him again as Speaker. Because he's not really a conservative. I mean, he'll tell you what you want to hear. He has an uncanny ability, sort of like Clinton, to feel your pain and know his audience and speak to his audience and fire them up. But when he was speaker, he was erratic, undisciplined."

"While it saddens me to have lost the endorsement of a reality-tv-show star who is facing felony money laundering charges, I'll just have to contain my disappointment and soldier on"

I'd actual have to admit to a wee bit of respect for the guy.
