Gingrich on Ethanol ...

In case you needed another reason to distrust this creature. (previous post)

Review & Outlook: Professor Cornpone Inc. - WSJ.com: "What an interesting turn in our running debate over ethanol with Newt Gingrich, the former GOP Speaker who wants to be President. Professor Gingrich says his ethanol support is grounded in his lifetime of studying history and intellectual problems, but what about that $312,500 from the ethanol lobby? The Center for Public Integrity has examined IRS records and reports that Mr. Gingrich's shop earned that sum for his role as a 'consultant' in 2009 for Growth Energy, one of the ethanol lobbies. The center cites documents listing his duties as speaking 'positively on ethanol related topics to media,' plus giving advice on 'strategy and communication issues.' Mr. Gingrich's salvos against us came in a lecture to the Renewable Fuels Association, a separate ethanol lobby, so we have to admit the Speaker is ecumenical in his salesmanship."
