How Gingrich Landed on Love Seat With Pelosi - Bloomberg

...Gingrich, who was promoting his latest book “Contract With the Earth” and urging “green conservatism,” agreed.

It’s an event he describes today as “the dumbest single thing I’ve done.”...Gingrich was warned by his aides at the time that participating in Gore’s “We Can Solve It” ad campaign could have dire political consequences...
