Harriet, I’m impressed. Truly. Not that you’re out to impress me, or seek my approval. But you have it. Not necessarily on the Supreme Courty stuff. Verdict’s still out on that one. I’m talking about the little things. On how you handle yourself. On your restraint. On your choice of...

Years ago Connie Chung roped Newt Gingrich’s mom into revealing that her son had called Hillary Clinton a “bitch” by suggesting her question about what Newt thought of the First Lady was “just between you and me.”
