Political Quotes

“like the energizer bunny, the Christina Jeffrey story keeps going and going and going. Yesterday Speaker Gingrich's spokesperson, Tony Blankley, said that they did not know that Christina Jeffrey believed that a Holocaust class should reflect the views of the Nazis. Today we read in the Atlanta Constitution that Ms. Jeffrey told Speaker Gingrich's staff a month ago. But even worse was today's revelations of why Ms. Jeffrey thought she was fired. Yesterday Mr. Blankley said that Speaker Gingrich held Ms. Jeffrey in high regard, and today we find out she believes that she was told she had to go because "There would be marches and demonstrations and fundraising efforts to raise money to turn over the House to Democrats." What was Speaker Gingrich's motivation in firing Ms. Jeffrey? Was it because he disagreed with her views, as he should have, or was it because of adverse publicity and bad political consequences? Yesterday I praised the Speaker for quickly firing her. I stand by that, but there are many questions that must, must be answered.”
