GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is facing more scrutiny about his 2008 global warming ad for Al Gore with former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. [See Gingrich/Pelosi video here.] [Update: May 16: Gingrich tries new spin, claims he used word he never used.]
On the May 13, 2011 edition of 'The O'Reilly Factor', host Bill O'Reilly and guest Lou Dobbs mocked and ridiculed Gingrich's climate ad with Pelosi and warned it could single-handedly derail his presidential bid. [Note: Gingrich has refused to apologize or recant the ad and instead now claims it was a 'debate' with Pelosi.]
Newt may deserve his reputation for brilliance, but he apparently alsod eserves his reputation for a lack of discipline, too.
I remember that I was laying sod with a neighbor when someone showed me this add on his phone. I remember being a little stunned. I definitely think that this will hurt his campaign.
