Veeery interesting.

The right-wing GOP is going ballistic because Newt Gingrich spoke the truth. Twice.

He thinks Paul Ryan is going too far too fast on revamping Medicare, and he said the unthinkable: He came out against right-wing social engineering AND left-wing social engineering. I am a Democrat, but for once, I agree with him.

He is right. Still, I don't trust him.
