Gingrich:
GINGRICH: Well, I got a very funny e-mail from a retired military officer in Tampa who pointed out that most tire inflation is done at service stations and you pay for it. And it’s actually a higher profit margin than selling gasoline. So Sen. Obama was urging you to go out and enrich Big Oil by inflating your tires instead of buying gas.
Errr…I go down to the QuikTrip and they don’t charge me for air. Neither do the other places locally. I’m sure somewhere they do, but Think Progress is over analyzing the whole ...
Newt
Political Animal —
NEWT.... I've been told a number of times that, movement conservative though he may be, Newt Gingrich is at least a serious person driven by serious ideas. Light years better than pure partisan animals like Tom DeLay and Karl Rove, for example. Well, he might be better than DeLay and Rove (YMMV of course), but there's no way you can read this and tell me that you still think he's a serious person. I really hope nobody ever tells me this again.— ...

More douchebaggery by the GOP
BlondeSense —
... mind a bumpy ride you can over-inflate your tires for long trips. Not only that, it's a good idea to replace your air filter yearly or clean it out for more fuel efficiency. It boggles the mind that there is even a discussion about this. You would think that all those blow hard gas bag politicians would be on board with the suggestion that all Americans check their tire pressure especially while gasoline is expensive. One blow hard gas bag, Newt Gingrich was on Hannity asserting that filling your tires with air benefits big oil because you have to pay for it, not realizing ...

Political Animal —
... for its skits about Palin, and laughing like a school-boy about the notion of improving fuel efficiency with properly inflated tires. But Gingrich's ridiculousness notwithstanding, it's interesting how Republicans like Novak continue to look backwards. While Democrats chose a new, forward-thinking leader for the 21st century, Novak is arguing that the Republican Party needs to look to a failed former Speaker who made his mark in 1995, before becoming widely loathed by the electorate, and ultimately forced from office by his own Republican colleagues. The GOP's Moses? I don't ...
