I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you, ABC

Whatever you feel about the media’s tawdry behavior, they have done us a service.

Newt Gingrich indulged in appalling, erratic personal behavior in his first marriage. Then, when his first wife got sick, rather than stand by her, he quit the marriage.

Newt Gingrich indulged in appalling, erratic personal behavior in his second marriage. Then, when hissecond wife got sick, rather than stand by her, he quit the marriage.

Newt Gingrich engaged in erratic behavior as Speaker of the House, as reported by members of both parties and the Administration. Then, when his own party forced him to resign the Speakership, he also resigned the Congressional seat he had just handily won, at the expense of his constituents.

Newt Gingrich has big ideas. He talks tough. He can yell at reporters when he has a friendly crowd behind him. But when the pressure is on, when character counts, it turns out all Newt’s character is bad. He quits and runs.

Is this someone we can rely on to stand up to Obama in the campaign and reform the government machine he has grown fat on over the years?
