The Media

The Gingrich Script

Written by Bob Cesca

Newt Gingrich is on Face the Nation this morning. For some reason.

Gingrich doesn't hold any elected office currently and he doesn't have a book he's promoting right now. He hasn't done anything recently other than say crazy things like this.

I really have no idea why it suddenly matters what he has to say about anything. But he's on TV all the time.

Wait! I know! It's about the script. See, the last time we had a Democratic president, Newt was a big deal. So the corporate media has dusted off that particular script. I hope it ends the same way this time. Newt resigning in disgrace and going into hiding for a decade.

Got it. Carry on.
