At the end of Charlie Rose's interview with Gingrich (which I did not think was particularly better or worse than any other such interview, but had to be one of the all time top ten jowl and wrinkle festivals in morning television, glorious on my HD) Charlie said, very earnestly, something like "all of us here at CBS News join you in mourning the loss of Tony Blankley. Gingrich responded with a laugh so loud, hysterical and inappropriate that I was sure he was about to deny that he had ever had a homosexual relationship with Blankley - it really seemed quite odd. I assume he initially misheard or misunderstood the question. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
