Enter Stage Right: Newt Gingrich

Posted on February 1, 2005

He's Back! The Contract With America, the Bill Clinton Impeachment....Fans can now re-live those good times with fomer Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich by buying his new book, Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America (Regnery). Newt is doing the rounds of the talk shows, railing against the liberals, but what's new is his pointed criticism of the handling of the Iraq War.

"Iraq is a mess," he writes. "It is going to remain a mess for a long time." Michiko Kakutani savages the book, calling it "sloppy," "poorly reasoned," and "riddled with gaps in logic," but -- perhaps in the spirit of bipartisanship -- she also really hated My Life by Bill Clinton. The book is selling like crazy.
