“At a town hall in Atlantic, Iowa, Saturday afternoon, Gingrich gave an unusual reason for his present denial of man-made global warming. ‘I’m an amateur paleontologist,’ Gingrich said. ‘I spend a lot of time looking at the Earth’s temperature for a very long time. I’m a lot harder to convince than just looking at a computer model.'” [Think Progress]
Bill Maher: “If you were a Republican in 2011, and you liked Donald Trump, and then you liked Michele Bachmann, and then you liked Rick Perry, and then you liked Herman Cain, and then you liked Newt Gingrich … you can still hate Mitt Romney, but you can’t say it’s because he’s always changing his mind.” [NYT]
Like an endorsement from a guy who helped ruin our economy will help: “The Gingrich campaign has announced that they have received the endorsement of Arthur Laffer, “father of The Laffer Curve and supply-side economics, and architect of the Ronald Reagan economic plan.” Laffer will appear with Gingrich later today in Iowa.” [TPM]
