The article discussed Gingrich learning that in today's world, a mouth is best supervised. But the implication are clear. No longer can a pol state A at a meeting of radical leftists in the morning and say B to a group of conservative stuffy businessmen in the afternoon.

While I disagree with Palin, Bachmann, etc., they are somewhat consistent in their messages. This will be something all pols need to do in the future...

Not convinced of that flacouple I'm sorry to say.

He's about as entertaining as Accountant's Convention on a damp dreary Monday morning in Woop Woop.

"Dangerous" is one word I associate with that lowlife. With his history of treating women, the only way he can be consistent with words is to stay silent.

Ya know, Newt announced his candidacy on youtube. To date, and, sadly I am one of them, he has had 151, 035 hits.

If it's any consolation tazzy ( and I really hope it is!) that's less than a half of one per cent of the US population ......

To me, that doesn't sound like his candidacy is setting the North American continent on fire .......

He couldn't get "caught" in anything if he was just honest. Honesty. How about that for a concept?
