Ouch.

This is gonna leave a mark

"Having a former chairman of Goldman Sachs preside over disbursing hundreds of billions of dollars to Wall Street is a terrible concept and inevitably will lead to crony capitalism and the appearance of - if not the actual existence of - corruption," says Gingrich in his statement. "The Bush Administration has now provided three case studies in arrogance, isolation, and destructiveness: Michael Brown during Hurricane Katrina, Ambassador Jerry Bremer in Baghdad, and Secretary Paulson at Treasury."

"It is a tragic and very expensive legacy," he continued. "No conservative and no Republican should doubt how much it has hurt our cause and our party."

Gingrich has a lot of room to talk about the damage others have done to the party and the cause.

Amen.

Republicans electing socialists doesn't work in the long run. Sure, it keeps the marxists out, but the result is furthering the aims of the marxists without any opposition.

Oh, did I say marxist? I meant to say democrat.

Oh, wait. Gingrich is now in favor of the bailout?

Classic Gingrich. Lots of talk, no action. Principled words, with action conforming to some other standard.
