Gingrich regrets his 2008 climate ad with Pelosi; conservatives still not amused

“Newt Gingrich regrets that he made a television ad sitting on a love seat with then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi on behalf of Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection only because it has come back to bite him politically,” Competitive Enterprise Institute’s director of energy and global warming policy Myron Ebell told TheDC. “Had a cap-and-trade bill been enacted with bipartisan support, as looked likely when he made the ad for Gore’s group, Gingrich might be crowing about how he led Republicans to support sound energy-rationing policy.”
