Perhaps we should put to rest the myth that former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) remains a brilliant political thinker.
On Sunday, Gingrich attacked Mondale for supporting Social Security privatization world wide. Now, stop there for a second. Gingrich supports this Social Security reform, so it is just a teensy bit hypocritical. (Aside: This isn't the first time for the former Speaker, of course. See also: promoting a family values agenda while dating a staffer.)
Worse, there is no truth to the charge. Newt, you may want to doublecheck the opposition research you are handed next time. That would be before you make a fool of yourself on Meet the Press.
