I agree 100% with what Gingrich said. And it definitely took courage for him to say in in that venue. He's a very bright and perceptive guy -- and always has been. But should we just wipe the slate clean for someone who had no small part in constructing the political sewer in which we all now must dwell?
Newt is a fascinating guy. I could even imagine inviting him for dinner, and not feel compelled to count the silverware afterwards. But even if he's come around to seeing that the movement conservatism he helped found is headed for a bad end, that may be "bright and perceptive," but does it in any way show a new moral compass?
No, it does not.
