stupid knows stupid...Ex-Speaker Newt Gingrich Praises GOP Chair Steele

[spanone]

ATLANTA (AP) -- Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is praising Michael Steele in his first year as chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Gingrich, who served as speaker from 1995 to 1999, says Steele is off to a good start, citing successes in fundraising and GOP victories in governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey.

Steele came under fire earlier this week for saying he thinks Republicans have ''screwed up'' in the years since Ronald Reagan was president and for raising doubt that the GOP can win back the U.S. House in the fall elections.
