The movie is intended to be a direct attack on their 2002 decision that would have banned the Pledge of Allegiance.
We asked Gingrich whether his new film was intended as a rebuttal to Christopher Hitchens’ popular book, “God is Not Great.” The 64-year-old snapped back, “No! I intended it as a counterpunch to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.”
Hosted at Agraria restaurant Tuesday night, Newt’s movie shindig was sprinkled with D.C. celebrities. Newsweek’s Howard Fineman was in attendance, as was WMAL’s Chris Plante, Rep. Dan Burton and the McLaughlin Group’s Tony Blankley.
Barbara Comstock, Mitt Romney’s press secretary, was seen talking up Fineman, but was necessarily tight-lipped when asked what she thought of Pat Robertson’s endorsement of Rudy Giuliani. “You can’t win all the good endorsements,” she said with a sigh.
