Poor Newt

He doesn't like the way people do politics nowadays. Like he had nothing to do with it....

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says the 2008 White House candidates are "demeaning the presidency" by focusing on the race rather than ideas.

"We have shrunk our political process to this pathetic dance in which people spend an entire year raising money in order to offer nonanswers, so they can memorize what their consultants and focus groups said would work," Gingrich said.

In a speech to the John Locke Foundation, a conservative think tank, the prospective Republican candidate said he will not consider running until he has created a wave of reform.

We've seen enough of your 'reforms', thanks anyway, Newt. And just what number mistress or wife are you on now?

By the way, just to remind people:
