Newt Just Gave the Smackdown to Ron Allen at MSNBC
I’ll add the video clip as soon as I can, but Newt Gingrich just demolished Ron Allen of MSNBC regarding the allegation that Sarah Palin lacks experience.
Here’s my quick transcript:
Allen: Her resume is not something we are familiar seeing with Vice Presidential candidates.
Newt (getting really animated): Well, it’s stronger than Barack Obama’s. I don’t know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She’s been a real Mayor. He hasn’t. She has been a real Governor. He hasn’t. She’s been in charge of the Alaska National Guard. He hasn’t. She was a whistle-blower who defeated an incumbent Mayor. He has never once shown that kind of courage. She’s a whistle-blower who turned in the chairman of her own party and got him fined $12,000. I’ve never seen Obama do one thing like that. She took on the incumbent Governor of her own party and beat him. And then she beat a former Democratic Governor in the general election. I don’t know of a single thing Obama has done except talk and write. And I’d like you to tell me one thing you think Senator Obama has done.
Allen: Thanks very much Mr. Speaker. I’m gonna leave it right there. I’m not going to argue the case.
Newt: Thank you.
OUCH!
Here is the MSNBC video. The key exchange begins at the 2:33 mark:
