Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich defended former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain on Monday, saying Americans might be more interested in finding a “solutions-oriented leader” than obsessing over another political scandal.

“What does it mean to the elite news media that nobody in the country ever comes up to us and raises questions you all raise?” Gingrich told NBC’s Ann Curry when asked what the Cain sexual harassment scandal could mean for the Republican ticket in 2012. “I went through two months in June and July where folks in New York and Washington said my campaign was dead, I was gone, that it was hopeless. Nobody in the country said that.” (RELATED: Angry Iowan confronts Newt)

1. Shit - that's the most intelligent thing Newt's said in at least 30 years.

[Rambis]

2. He also said this week- gov't regulations and taxing rich kills jobs

:crazy:

[dembotoz]

3. and there is plenty to gossip about good ole newt.....

[gratuitous]

4. Newt's statement issued from his glass house

By the way, Mr. Gingrich, where have you been during this whole "birth certificate" nontroversy, and why haven't you been on your former colleagues on the House about their failure to provide some of those "solutions" you're on about now? Some serial groper trying to win the GOP booby prize for 2012 is in position to do anything; your erstwhile pals in the House could be doing something, but they prefer to do squat-ah.

Dingbat.

5. Newt, just because you picked up your 3rd wife like Cain moved on

woman #4, doesn't mean that is the right way to impress a woman.

6. why is newt on any television show?

[Shagbark Hickory]

7. OK. so even if he's right, Cain's not the right guy for the job.

We need someone who has solutions but provides minimal scandals.

[JoePhilly]

8. They should explain that NEWT is an expert on UNFAITHFULNESS, and so his opinion could be relevant.

[Angry Dragon]

9. If I remember correctly newt had so many ethics violations

he had to step down as speaker

And in his own words when he is patriotic he gets an erection and has to find another woman

[Avalux]

10. He only said it because Cain is one of theirs. Hypocrite. n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Haha. Cain must be delighted to have Newt's blessing.

[classysassy]

12. Birds of a feather stick together

Those dirty old skirt chasers always stick together,there is safety in numbers.

[ThomWV]

13. Newt knows this will blow over in no time at all. Cain will still be Newt's VP pick.

[DenverDad]

14. Exactly Newt! In fact, I remember you saying the same thing

during "Weinergate". . . wait. . .no. . .hmm.

:sarcasm:

[Johonny]

15. Maybe Republicans need to have some solutions

really Cains sexual harassment has been the only interesting thing out of any of their mouths this whole campaign. None of them have offered much more than vague warmed over failed Republican policy. Heck Cain is where he is because his 9,9,9 plan was at least newish sounding. Newt can even find interesting packaging for his stale empty ideas. I have a deal ill focus on their solutions when they have one.

[fascisthunter]

16. you all have no solutions... your plans are to destroy democracy

and give the country to a wealthy few.
