NEWT: Anger over "slut" remarks a smokescreen from elite media to ignore rising gas prices...

[Amerigo Vespucci]

...and attacks on the Catholic church.

David Gregory asked him about this on MTP and he COMPLETELY dodged the question about "how much damage" has been done by Limbaugh's remarks and IMMEDIATELY went into a rant about the Catholic church and contraception.

Gregory repeated the question.

Gingrich said he was glad Limbaugh apologized and asked if Obama owed our men and women in uniform an apology for apologizing to "religious fanatics in Afghanistan."

Newt's undies are wound WAY too tight this morning. He said "This is a VERY serious fight about religious liberty."

2. Well, Newt certainly obeyed orders...

...you could see the exact moment when he clicked into "talking points" mode. And the key word here is "inevitable"...he also looked very, very pleased with himself when he started reciting from the list.

3. His narrow apology was only for his choice of words

It's not just that he called her a bad word, it's about the massive ignorance and hatred of women behind his statements. He doubled down on all of that in the so-called apology. He actually believes that a woman who has sex out of wedlock is immoral. But a man having a viagra fueld sex party in the Dominican Republic is a stud I guess.

The topper is that he seems to believe that the amount of sex a woman has somehow determines the number of pills she needs and that Fluke should have tried "backing off the amount of sex" she has.

4. Newt's ass is an array of pyrotechnics

A human smoke bomb.

$2.50 gas will never happen under President Obama.

He won't lie about the possibility of it happening either.
