Pot calls the Kettle black

"I think the disruptive, vicious, negative nature of the news media makes it harder to govern this country," Gingrich fumed at the debate moderator, John King of CNN. "I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that." (South Carolina debate in which Newt's smarmy behavior was the first question). Reminds me of Obama blaming Bush for his bad governing. Sorry, Newt, you can't deflect the adultery of your and Callista by criticizing a reporter doing his job.

Newt pulled it out. One news commentator suggested that if he ever gets into the white house he should give John King and endowed chair in the newsroom for giving him the opportunity to start with a bang.
As a former public speaking teacher I would give all four candidates high grades for their victory or concession speeches. Well done all around but Newt was really on his game tonite. (Regarding Newt's morals, on of the talking heads (I hadn't heard this before) said that Newt and Calista had spent some time asking for forgiveness from God, and the talking head stated that no one is perfect but that confessing before God and witnesses probably helped Newt in the election tonite.
