DES MOINES -- Newt Gingrich says he has killed a chapter on climate change in a post-election book of essays about the environment. But the intended author of the chapter, who supports the scientific consensus that humans contribute to climate change, says that's news to her.
Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist at Texas Tech, confirmed in an email interview that she had been asked to write a chapter on climate change for the speaker's book. She said was approached by former Palm Beach Zoo CEO Terry Maple, Gingrich's co-editor, at an annual meeting of Republicans for Environmental Protection. Asked to confirm her chapter was dropped, she replied, "I had not heard that."

Doesn't matter what Gingrich does with his book, his opinion is public record.
Now he looks like an even bigger fraud trying to stifle his own opinion.

Gingrich is a political prostitute. He will say, deny having said, or attempt to explain away anything that he believes will help get him elected. He is a prime example of everything that is wrong with our broken political system.

I rather think that he is an example of what is right with our system - that even wingnuts have a right to show the world how wrong they are.

I could agree with this were it not for the fact that a number of misguided partisans that believe the letter following a candidate's name is ample proof of their qualifications to hold office will likely vote for him and could well subject all of us to yet another crappy President.
