"Newt bit his tongue for months and now feels he has to tell his base the truth: the White House does not have the will or the power to promote any agenda," a source close to Mr. Gingrich said.

The sources said Mr. Gingrich, who refuses to commit to a presidential bid in 2008, blames White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove for Mr. Bush's mistakes, including the loss of Congress in 2006. They said Mr. Gingrich's criticism of the top Bush political adviser has been considered by the president and this could lead to Mr. Rove's early departure.

On Nov. 30, Mr. Gingrich, hosted by dozens of powerful conservatives, spoke at a private fund raiser for the Virginia Conservative Action PAC. Mr. Gingrich, lamenting the waste of the Republican Party's huge ad campaign during the 2006 election, called on Mr. Rove to either change his losing strategy or quit.

"2004 was pathetic, and 2006 was worse," Mr. Gingrich said, referring to the Rove-directed GOP campaigns.

Mr. Gingrich gave several reasons for the GOP’s loss of Congress in 2006. He cited the U.S. failure to stabilize Iraq, the botched relief effort after Hurricane Katrina and the lack of an agenda that could have inspired Americans.

1. Its hard work

maintaining a consistently high level of incompetence and hate throughout the conservative community. Occasionally one or more get lazy and just fall of the wagon. Newt shouldn't be so mean.

5. eye of newt

What is Newt trying to 'foment' here? He is causing the GOP a lot of 'angst'

2. what an arrogant ass

Wasn't he largely responsible for the huge waste of the impeach-clinton-for-something campaign? I don't believe george would can Rove on Newt's say-so, but now Newt will claim credit if Rove goes for any reason.

This ranks right up there with his messianic delusion: "I am seeking to create a movement to win the future by offering a series of solutions so compelling that if the American people say I have to be president, it will happen."

Was he always like this??

3. Newt Gingrich is a lying POS

and I wonder why the RW nutjob machine is trying so hard to refurbish his image right now? Are they really completely out of better potential candidates? That makes me happy. Anytime they bring out somebody as easy to smear as Gingrich as a stallwart of their "values" it makes a really easy target.

4. It's amusing to watch circular firing squads, isn't it? nt

6. Newt's trying to set himself apart, in anticipation of some nefarious

campaign within the next 2 years.

7. You forgot one other reason the rethugs got wiped out Newt.

Your party has finally been exposed as the party of liars, cheats and thieves. Even the fundies are drifting away now.

8. Of course it could have nothing at all to do with their failed policies
