Ramesh Ponnuru's understated jab at them:
Gingrich has more original ideas than most of us. But for a president, what’s much more important is the ability to tell the good ones from the bad — an ability called judgment.
Ezra Klein makes the same point:
When Gingrich was speaker of the House, Bob Dole was the Senate majority leader. And so Dole spent a lot of time listening to the speaker’s proposals. “Gingrich’s staff has these five file cabinets, four big ones and this little tiny one,” he told The New York Times. “Number one is ‘Newt’s ideas.’ Number two, ‘Newt’s ideas.’ Number three, number four, ‘Newt’s ideas.’ The little one is ‘Newt’s Good Ideas.’”
