Gingrich to Rush Limbaugh: My “right-wing social engineering” comment wasn’t directed at Paul Ryan

As we look back on the tattered remains of the Gingrich presidential run of 2011, even I would not have hoped that it ended this quickly. It wasn't even a full week before he ran it aground. I think this was a combination of the facts that a) he wasn't really running for president and b) he was so roundly disliked that most of his supporters and allies were barely tolerant of him, much less forgiving. He happened to go after the GOP's favorite son right now in a hamfisted, moronic kind of way that made he and his party look like buffoons.

It was not even fun to watch. It still isn't. Gingrich is not a man of any principle or party, but a symbol of the cravenness and rank dishonesty that is possible in politics and in business. His candidacy was an embarrassment and I'm glad its over.
