"The ad opens with Gingrich and Pelosi sitting side-by-side on a couch in front of the Capitol Building.
'We dont always see eye to eye, do we Newt?' Pelosi asks.
'No, but we do agree that our country must take action to address climate change,' Gingrich responds.
Pelosi then says, 'We need cleaner forms of energy and we need them fast,' after which Gingrich calls on voters to 'demand action from our leaders' in order to 'spark the innovation we need.'
In an interview this week with Fox News Sean Hannity, Gingrich said the ad is probably the dumbest thing Ive done in recent years.
You're either for the penguins, polar bears and life as we know it or you're against it.
Newt needs to make up his mind and have the integrity to stand behind it one way or the other before he ever thinks about messing with the polar bears.
Thanks for the thread, Grassy Knoll.

Newt probably used "frankly" one too many times while discussing tax policy with the penguin.

The penguin recognized Newt as a Southern Right Whale (yes that is a real whale species)

The penguin must have thought he was some kind of predator. Kudos to the penguin!
