Man, they are really eating their own lately, aren't they?

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's latest comments regarding the controversial Islamic center near the site of the 9/11 World Trade Center attack are being called "absurd" - from no less a conservative stalwart than Pat Buchanan.

the former presidential candidate and conservative commentator said recent comments from Gingrich likening the proposed project to the hanging of a Nazi symbol outside the Holocaust Museum were merely part of the former Speaker's efforts to appear more controversial than Sarah Palin.

"Newt is a political opportunist," Buchanan said. "What Newt is doing is he's trying to get out and be more flamboyant and more charismatic, if you will, and more controversial than Sarah Palin, who is his primary challenger, if he gets into Iowa and New Hampshire. She will take all his oxygen and a lot of his support."

"I think bringing the Nazis into the argument is always absurd in American politics, because there is no valid comparison there," Buchanan said. "And secondly, you know, you bring that in, and that's all we start talking about. So I think Newt went too far with that comment. But I know why he's doing it."

Buchanan is no stranger to controversial statements - he's perhaps best known for his 1992 Republican National Convention speech that, among other things, derided abortion rights and the homosexual rights movement.

WHOZIT


One has-been takes a shot at another has-been, their futures are as guests on TV and radio talkshows. Govenors Chris Christie, Haily Barbour and Sen. Scott Brown are the presant and future stars of the Republican party, Pat & Newt should go back to the 90's where they belong.

I actually agree with you whozit--completely, no less!

I KNOW that happened once before, but I can't remember about what. I guess anything IS possible in this strange world of ours!

Newt didn't offer up the best analogy ever.

This is the sort of thing that, if you can't really nail it, don't bother.

"The modern definition of 'racist' is someone who is winning an argument with a liberal."
