Gingrich spokesman Rick Tyler slams the media coverage of Newt Gingrich in the aftermath of his remarks about Paul Ryan’s medicare plan and the individual mandate. His statement to the Huffington Post:
The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding. Washington cannot tolerate threats from outsiders who might disrupt their comfortable world. The firefight started when the cowardly sensed weakness. They fired timidly at first, then the sheep not wanting to be dropped from the establishment’s cocktail party invite list unloaded their entire clip, firing without taking aim their distortions and falsehoods. Now they are left exposed by their bylines and handles. But surely they had killed him off. This is the way it always worked. A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught. But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich, once again ready to lead those who won’t be intimated by the political elite and are ready to take on the challenges America faces.
What?

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThis from The Onion, right?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWow. This really made me laugh.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseRead the statement with the music from "A Fistful Of Dollars" by Ennio Morricone. Makes it more fun.

You got to be kidding me! Was this on the Onion?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSo many metaphors, so little time....
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWow. Sounds like the delusions of Newt, but it claims to be a new delusional character.
Perhaps there will be a new offer by Newt. Republicans attacked by Dems using Newt's words will get Newt doing a campaign commercial, PLUS Newt's media guy will write one of these nifty press releases too.
Placement in the HuffPo is appropriate. Crossover Dems looking to destroy the GOP are Newt's best path to the nomination.
The guy in Iowa is right.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAny other GOP luminaries want to publicly hedge on difficult answers to difficult questions?
Because if you do, you too will be reduced to having to sputter the kind of incoherent babble contained in this statement.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseTwo things, I think everyone would survive a few minutes of hostile "tweeting" and news stories. Our papers were filled with mocking stories about Hitler and the Japanese but no newspaper brought any of our enemies down.
Also when did Ryan's plan become an establishment plan? Is this guy actually claiming that Washington "elites" are behind Ryan and that Newt is speaking for the masses? Man I am more hostile to Newt after reading this tripe...
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI wonder if any tweet which quotes this message will be a falsehood, too. To think we had to take his campaign seriously for almost half a week.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWow. Going down with all guns blazing. I only wish I had listened to it with the "A Fistful of Dollars" music.
That's one awesome display of disconnect.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseRick Tyler, the Tiffany's man's Tennyson.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseGood grief! Newt, exit stage left already so Rick Perry can enter stage right!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseNewt: you're finished.
Please go pull up a chair next to Trump and leave the 2012 cycle now. Anything less is simply proof that your ego is out of control.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI'll agree with Daniel Foster's post about the style of the quote, but Newt as an outsider? Puffington Host indeed.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSee, I thought the name they were building up to would be "Sheen".
Losers, winning.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHuh? Not tracking with the Gingrich strategy at all. Unless it's to crash and burn.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWith "outsiders" like Newt, who needs Washington?
This is proof - in case anybody needed it - that the establishment is so bloated it has burst its Beltway.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHuh??? This is the most bizarre campaign by a supposed experienced and seasoned candidate ever.
