Fake news story

Speaking this week on a cable news program, Newt Gingrich unexpectedly said, "But I would prefer that I mean if it's a close -- if it's close and there's an opportunity to litigate, I would say to George W. Bush don't litigate. Let Kerry be the president." Surprising, isn't it? I mean it's hard to believe that any Republican would ever suggest under any circumstances that George W. Bush should let Senator Kerry be President.

Well not to fear, as noted above, this is a fake news story. The speaker wasn't the former Speaker, but in fact Democrat Bob Kerry, and he was suggesting to John Kerry to, more or less, just give up if the race gets too close. Kind of nice of us Democrats, isn't it?
