Newt Gingrich Was ‘Debating the Left’ When He Cuddled With Nancy Pelosi on a Couch

Time and again, the meager minds of the common people have proven woefully incompatible with the higher-plane mental capabilities of Newt Gingrich. Yet another example of this phenomenon was brought to light earlier today when Gingrich, talking to a New Hampshire radio station, explained the real message he was conveying in a famous 2008 climate change ad featuring himself and Nancy Pelosi.


I was trying to make a point that we shouldn’t be afraid to debate the left, even on the environment,” Gingrich said on WGIR radio of the 30-second television commercial. “Obviously it was misconstrued, and it’s probably one of those things I wouldn’t do again.”

Ugh, sorry for misconstruing, Newt. We can be so useless sometimes! In retrospect, your point will probably be self evident. Let’s watch it again.

Um, oh geez, this is embarrassing but … we’re still not seeing it. It still just looks you and Nancy Pelosi are sitting on a love seat and agreeing on the need to combat climate change. Your point about debating the left is probably too subtle for us to pick up on. We’re so dumb.
