Newt's Love

Last Friday, Newt Gingrich called colleagues who would oppose his leadership "cannibals." But by Monday the soon-to-be ex-speaker was all smiles and pats-on-the-back. He endorsed his presumed successor Bob Livingston, and even introduced the Louisianan as "my good friend." Meanwhile, polls show upwards of 70 percent of Americans glad to see Gingrich step down.
