GINGRICH HECKLED, very effectively. “Get out now before you make a bigger fool of yourself.” Gingrich’s assault on Ryan was stupid. It was stupid in the narrow sense — it’s made the base hate Gingrich — and it was stupid in the wider sense, since it props up Democratic objectors. In a narrow sense, Gingrich is one of the smartest politicians out there, but in a broader sense, well, not so smart. He’s shown that repeatedly over his career.

UPDATE: Ouch. Is the Gingrich campaign over already?

ANOTHER UPDATE: Funny, Gingrich loved the Ryan plan back in March, when he talked to PJTV’s Tony Katz. I wonder why he’s changed his tune? (Bumped).
