Newt Gingrich: Bush Campaign Cheap & Nasty

Nasty Newt

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich recently admitted that the 2004 Bush campaign against Sen. John Kerry was “cheap and nasty.” It’s good when people can admit mistakes; Not that the former Speaker was admitting any wrongdoing, or ever would.

Perhaps Republicans are due.

The actions of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly are certainly coming back to haunt them, which is timely, as Halloween is just around the corner.

And as Bradley Whitford recently said, you can’t out hypocrite a Republican.

After much blathering and speculation, Gingrich has recently decided
not to run his own (cheap and nasty) campaign for president in 2008

But you always have to wonder if it’s a setup with this type of thing. Notice how Gingrich keeps glancing at the camera, as if aware that what he is saying is being recorded and will be disseminated.

Are the Republicans hoping for Hillary? We’ll see, but sometimes fate punishes you by granting your wishes. Either way, Gingrich admitting that Republican tactics are disdainful is a good first step.

But don’t just say the obvious Republicans, let all that guilt out. And don’t feel bad, confessions are making a comeback.
