Newt Gingrich has adopted a populist stance starting in New Hampshire and reaching a peak, of sorts, in South Carolina. They fell for it there, turning against Romney because he was an investment banker.

There's nothing wrong with that. Romney is the bionic candidate, the one who spouts the line of The Money Party whenever his lips are moving.

But please, Newt, you are the great Whore of Babylon when it comes to coddling the financial elite. There isn't a regulation you won't bend for your pals. You raise money by the millions from gambling interests, while you shop at Tiffany's.

The "New Newt" may sell with South Carolina Republicans but the rest of us know what you are - a made man in The Money Party.
