NEWT TAKES ON ‘MONEY HONEY’

BARTIROMO: Mr. Speaker?

GINGRICH: Well, I just want point out, my colleagues have done a terrific job of answering an absurd question. To say in 30 seconds…

BARTIROMO: You have said you want to repeal “Obama-care,” correct?

GINGRICH: I did. Let me finish, if I may. To say in 30 seconds what you would do with 18 percent of the economy, life and death for the American people, a topic I’ve worked on since 1974, about which I wrote about called “Saving Lives and Saving Money” in 2002, and for which I founded the Center for Health Transformation, is the perfect case of why I’m going to challenge the president to seven Lincoln- Douglas style three-hour debates with a timekeeper and no moderator, at least two of which ought to be on health care so you can have a serious discussion over a several-hour period that affects the lives of every person in this country.

BARTIROMO: Would you would like to try to explain…

(APPLAUSE)

BARTIROMO: Would you like to — would you like to try to explain in simple speak to the American people what you would do after you repeal the president’s health care legislation?

GINGRICH: In 30 seconds?

BARTIROMO: Take the time you need, sir. Take the time you need.

GINGRICH: I can’t take what I need. These guys will gang up on me…

(CROSSTALK)

BARTIROMO: Do you want the answer the question tonight on health care or no?

(CROSSTALK)

BARTIROMO: Do you want to try to answer the question tonight, Speaker?

GINGRICH: Let me just say it very straight. One, you go back to a doctor-patient relationship and you involve the family in those periods where the patient by themselves can’t make key decisions. But you re-localize it.

Two, as several people said, including Governor Perry, you put Medicaid back at the state level and allow the states to really experiment because it’s clear we don’t know what we are doing nationally.

Three, you focus very intensely on a brand-new program on brain science because the fact is the largest single out-year set of costs we are faced with are Alzheimer’s, autism, Parkinson’s, mental health, and things which come directly from the brain.

GINGRICH: And I am for fixing our health rather than fixing our health bureaucracy because the iron lung is the perfect model of saving people so you don’t need to pay for federal program of iron lung centers because the polio vaccine eliminated the problem. That’s a very short (inaudible).

(APPLAUSE)

Looks like the “money honey” is getting too big for her britches! Newt put her in her place! Speaker Gingrich is a brilliant man who like other brilliant men does not tolerate fools easily. That was a stupid request afterall. It is preposterous to think that a candidate can answer that question in an intelligent manner in thirty seconds. Not only were her questions ridiculous but the time frame in which she demanded that they be answered was ludicrous. I think the “money honey” is turning into the “Brooklyn Bully” not to mention that there are much younger and prettier flowers in the garden like Megyn Kelly for one. Megyn did a much better job and was much more respectful of the candidates. I always admired Maria but now she is getting to be too Big for her Brooklyn Britches. Very unattractive. : (

Bartiromo – Would you like to — would you like to try to explain in simple speak to the American people what you would do after you repeal the president’s health care legislation?

Simple speak? Why? Are the American people retarded and incapable of understanding anything that isn’t dramatically dumbed down? It is only our lives you are talking about! Thank god he had the decency to take the time and explain the steps!

Also, the questions were so bad that Herman Cain was able to answer every single one of them using his 999 plan and more than one of them was about the sexual harrassment allegations. How ridiculous is that??? The plan is called 999 not 969 for crying out loud!
