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."

is like the Marquis DeSade calling someone a misogynist.

Polls already show Newt loosing Texas to Obama in the general election.

(2,097 posts)8. You know, if Gingrich responded with:
"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.
