Newt sounds off, in this off the wall interview...
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Former house speaker and potential GOP presidential
candidate Newt Gingrich ripped conservatives and liberals alike Monday at a
breakfast sponsored by the American Spectator. Here's how Newt unloaded on
half a dozen newsmakers:
REPUBLICANS:
Fred Thompson, potential presidential candidate "I'm excited to see whether
Fred turns out to be as decisive a front-runner as John McCain...The guy who
wasn't even in the race is now the exciting new name, having decided that he
would leave television for the purpose of entering television."
Sen. John McCain, presidential candidate "The guy who had spent the most
on consultants is on the verge, I think, of dropping out of the race, right
after he collects his FEC [Federal Elections Commission] money."
Robert Novak, conservative columnist and author "Sometimes he's right and
sometimes he's just venomous....He was once a good reporter, he's now just a
personality."
Al Gore, maker of documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" "[Not] in touch with
reality. ... The advertisement for his movie was the most viciously anti-animal
advertising that I've seen in a long time. They had these little penguins
walking on sand. It was terrible."
Michael Moore, maker of documentary "Sicko" "I find Michael Moore so
despicable I can't imagine looking at a movie by him. It would be like looking
at a movie by Goebbels."
Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC's "Hardball" "An utterly irrelevant, shallow
television celebriity... (who) doesn't know anything."
