Video: Newt Smacks down CNN's Erin Burnett on Lewinsky question

Folks, Newt Gingrich strikes fear in the heart of two entities. The first is Barack Obama, who absolutely does NOT want to face the former Speaker in November. If he did, the media would be demonizing Mitt Romney far more than it is Gingrich. The other entity is the liberal news media. Conservatives all across this country are sick and tired of the liberal media's double standards and bullying.

Newt put that frustration on full display at the CNN debate during his exchange with John King. One day later, he did it again with CNN's Erin Burnett, who wilted in this exchange.

Burnett attempted to paint as hypocritical, Newt's infidelity in his own marriages while going after Bill Clinton in the 90's over Monica Lewinsky. Newt's answer didn't just shut Burnett up. It did exactly what his scolding of King did at the CNN debate; it caused any conservative who watched it to pump his/her fist in the air.

If the strategy of the Obama administration - and by extension, the media - is to smear every Republican candidate with these tactics, there is one candidate who short-circuits that strategy. In fact, Newt actually uses it to his advantage and does so masterfully in this exchange.
