Gingrich Slams MSNBC's Ron Allen

This is why the media don't like interviewing Newt Gingrich. Ron Allen said to Gingrich about Sarah Palin,

"But to be fair, her resume is not something we're familiar seeing with presidential candidates."

To which Gingrich responded:

"It's stronger than Barack Obama's. I don't know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She's been a real mayor, he hasn't. She has been a real governor, he hasn't. She's been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn't. She was a whistleblower who defeated an incumbent mayor. He has never once shown that kind of courage. She's a whistleblower who turned in the chairman of her own party and got him fined $12,000. I've never seen Obama do one thing like that. She took on the incumbent governor of her own party and beat him, and then she beat a former Democratic governor in the general election. I don't know of a single thing Obama's done except talk and write. I'd like you to tell me one thing Sen. Obama's done."

Unable to defend his man, Allen ended the interview there.
