Gingrich insult rankles RNC members
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/05/01/gingrich-insult-rankles-rnc-members/

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Several members of the Republican National Committee are miffed at Newt Gingrich for claiming that they’re a small bunch of egomaniacs who need to be coddled by the party chairman.

“Newt needs to take a breath,” New Jersey committeeman David Norcross told CNN.

Gingrich made the assertion on C-SPAN Thursday when asked about a new resolution put forth by some veteran members — including Norcross and RNC Treasurer Randy Pullen of Arizona — that would limit chairman Michael Steele’s ability to control how the committee spends its money.

That resolution has sparked a fresh round of infighting between Steele loyalists on the committee and entrenched members who backed other candidates for the chairmanship and remain skeptical of his leadership.

1. Newtie sees himself as Moses bringing the Word of the God Reagan to the sinful Israelite Republicans
He's so full of himself he's ready to pop.

7. Must really sting getting callled out as sheep by the likes of Grinchie.
Reality is biting them in the ass, and they don't like it one bit.
