Really, Newt? And what is this about with the Republican field, anyway? Cain is up, accusations fly. Newt’s numbers rise, accusations fly (though these I totally believe, many people have been saying the only reason Newt is in is for the money since the beginning).
So they’re saying 1.6 million dollars to be “a historian”… who is supposed to believe that? 1.6 million and oh, no… he wasn’t a lobbyist. Of course not.
Curious to see how far this story goes. If Newt Gingrich was paid over a million dollars to consult… which for the last months he’s been preaching that “the politicians who caused this should be in trouble”…. well… that’s you Newt. That’s you.

And he doesn’t deny it, of course… what I don’t get is why he has the smug look and idea that because it’s him, it’s totally OK and there’s no irony hypocrisy in it.
