Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter Criticize Newt Gingrich And His Doodles

Glenn Beck and conservative pundit Ann Coulter laid into GOP candidate Newt Gingrich on Wednesday morning.

Beck welcomed Coulter on his show by describing her as his best radio guest, and "someone who engages her brain into the conversation."

Beck asked Coulter about Gingrich's doodles that, according to Coulter, were found during the candidate's 1995 ethics violation investigation. "There were these doodles of himself at the center of the universe...and it's Newt defining himself as designer of civilization," Coulter said of the drawings.

Beck described the doodles as "disturbing." He added, "He writes 'systems designer', and it's pointed right to him..what is that?!"

"It's not a small government conservative," Coulter said. "I don't think the pope describes himself as that," Beck said.

Beck also compared Gingrich's favorability ratings with those of Nancy Pelosi. "He makes Nancy Pelosi look like a superstar to the rest of the country," Beck said of Gingrich's low rating. Coulter warned that Republicans must focus on who can beat President Obama, and said that Gingrich comes off as "pompous and boring" during debates without rowdy audiences.

I am not a Newt fan, but in all fairness... Does Ann Coulter ever hear herself ever?! She is the definition of pompous without substance. She is the the Howard Stern of the Neocon blog world. I think the only reason Ann Coulter doesn't support Newt is because he is the only person in this country with a larger ego then her.

Yes, but what about Saul Olinsky's doodles...that's the real story.

That pretty much descibes Romney and Santorum too.

'Pompous', yes. 'Boring'? Never. He inspires too much disgust and hatred to be that.

I like Beck but on this he is right of the deep end. He has been kind of kooky on the Gingrich thing ,

Ironic observation there Beck, aren't you the blow hard who had the gaul to present your manifesto to America on MLK day? Priceless I don't always follow along with Coulter political leanings, but at least she's doesn't compare herself to Mother Teresa...

At CPAC Coulter said that if the gopers didn't nominate Christie, Romney would be the nominee and Pres. Obama would win. Now she says pretty much the same thing about Gingrich--that if he wins, Pres Obama will win. Me thinks she is prescient.

Well, I am thinking that Obama IS going to win, just because common sense must rule.

I turn into conservative radio periodically just for sh*ts and grins and whenever I do they seems to be advertising some weird thing and talking out of their butts. We have this woman in St. Louis, her name is Dana, on talk radio, and she is crazy and mean.

I haven't heard your Dana, but I'll trade you for Austin's Alex Jones... sight unseen. He's crazier than a sh*thouse rat.

Every time I see Ann Coulter, I think of Xanax and alcohol. She is always acting like she's on something.

That combo may actually give her a personality which she desperately needs.
