Newt apologizes for speaking truth to the powerless

Newt apologizes for talking like a Democrat in going after Willard. But that didn't stop the Gingrich campaign from releasing this delicious Web ad today.



They could have taken the script for that straight off TPM's Guide to Mitt-isms. Funny, I was just thinking the night before that it was time to bring back, "Who let the dogs out?"

But the real blockbuster release of the day from Team Newt is the half hour documentary, King of Bain. I was blown away by how well produced it was. Lot of speculation that this kind of oppo is coming out too soon and will lose its effect by November, but I wouldn't be so sure about that. Powerful piece. I think it has staying power.
