Gingrich uses Abe Lincoln to answer Obama experience question.

Thanks Newt.

...from MTP,

FMR. REP. GINGRICH: I�look, I�ve known Al Gore for many, many years. If he runs, he�ll be a serious contender, but I think he would be fourth on that list of plausible people. I actually think Barack Obama�s having as good as run as anyone could hope for, and he�s doing it by being positive, by being engaging, and by being above all the negative Washington-based, you know, this morning�s hotline nasty attack, you know, e-mail kind of stuff. And I think if he can sustain that, despite the best efforts of many of my good friends in the media to drag him down to mere issues, he could become very formidable.

MR. RUSSERT: Does he have enough experience to be president of the United States?

FMR. REP. GINGRICH: Well, Abraham Lincoln served two years in the U.S. House, and seemed to do all right.

1. He is the ultimate irrelevancy.

He got lost in the 90's and still can't find his balance. He is terminally not of any use to anyone.

3. Yeah, thanks, Newt.

We can always trust Newt to come to the aid of the Democratic Party.

By being forthright and truthful about the campaign ahead, Newt endangers his own party, helping us select the person he sees as our most electable candidate. But that's Newt's way, rarely political and always working in the best interests of the nation as a whole.

Newt Gingrich -- what an American!
