Anybody see New Gingrich take over MTP at the end of the show?

With a few minutes to go on the show he turned it into a program about the Democrats supporting tax funded abortions for 9 month term fetuses.

Friedman was asked to defend that position and he did a rather poor job.

Meet The Press was almost out of time so they had to leave at that.

I wish Tom and Thomas and what's her name had just openly laughed at Newt rather than give him the serious attention he never deserves.

3. Yes, better to let the mother die in these cases

Doctors do not abort viable fetuses on demand. These are extreme medical scenarios and very, very rare. But, I guess it's best to let the mom die, even if she has other children, a spouse or parents that love and need her.

Why is he always given attention as being a serious man with big ideas?

Fuck him. They should have asked him about colonizing the moon.

He began by saying that Biden's comments about chains was racial because Biden wouldn't be talking about economic matters, i.e, Wall Street regulations, to a black audience. Racist much?

Then he bit into the abortion thing. No one came to his rescue. Friedman declared that he personally is a pro-choice Democrat and as a journalist wouldn't say any more. Newt filled the void with anti-woman propaganda. Republicans are not pro-life; they are pro-unborn at all costs.

I thought the show left that old pig Newt taste in the back of the throat. The one that you have to hack out.
