Newt Gingrich Inserts Foot In Mouth




"How can you have the mess we have in New Orleans, and not have had deep investigations of the federal government, the state government, the city government, and the failure of citizenship in the Ninth Ward, where 22,000 people were so uneducated and so unprepared, they literally couldn't get out of the way of a hurricane."


Newt Gingrich does realize he is saying that the people in predominantly black New Orleans are stupid? Gingrich's remark remind me of Wolf Blitzer's "so poor and so black" weirdness. What is it with how Beltway people view minorities?
