Washington "Outsider" Gingrich to Campaign for DeMint
Posted by Greg Hambrick on Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 2:39 PM
About a year ago, I was at a conference downtown where a speaker announced that the word "grenn" was dead. It had been used so much and stretched so thin that it had lost all meaning.
This year's word may as well be "outsider," and you can point to this Jim DeMint fundraiser when asked what the nail in the coffin was:
Two Washington OutsidersU.S. Sen. Jim DeMint/ Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
One Conservative Mission
Washington outsider?! First, DeMint is celebrating a decade in Washington. Second, Gingrich spent 20 years in the Capitol — most of those at the center of the Washington establishment. Can you really claim outsider status when you were chased out by your own folks? If so, what's it worth?
Apparently, to DeMint, it's worth $200 a couple and $1,000 for sponsors.
