What an idiot! Some of what he said rang true, but this is ridiculous.

Plus this other statement from him, makes the above statement really stupid

Gingrich sharply criticized campaign finance laws he charged were reducing free speech and doing little to fight attack advertising.
So, free speech when it involves campaign finance is Sacrosanct. Freedom of speech which can't make him or his buddies money is Evil and should be abolished??!

Well, in the last few days I think we've learned you can't say "gun" around an undercover cop.

Unfortunately, that could be just about anybody. :(

"Free speech? But it's a Post-9/11 World!"

It's moments like these that make me truly believe we are so screwed.
