GOPers who are good bull$hitters

Politics completely aside, some GOP spokespeople are good
at verbal comebacks, debating, and BS, right? The handful
that make you want to scream because nothing fazes them and they
can spin anything.

Newt...Carly and unfortunately Kelly Ann ?

whine about how no one could have thought anyone would fly into a building. That's true, but always thought that was so lame. She had warnings about a highjacking - but thought it was going to be a "regular" highjacking. And, the person interviewing her didn't follow up with - Ok, 9-11 would not have happened if these guys weren't on the planes. What did you do to stop a regular highjacking??

It is weird - how she sold her soul to Bush/Cheney - but dropped out of politics/government.
