If you aren't watching maybe you'll get the tail end. He spent like 10 minutes talking about a tree while he was live on CNN. What the heck???

I heard something about a tree and then I turned off the TV.

Wolf cut away from it, just as Newt was "getting to the meat of his speech."

From what I could tell, it was a very long story about a 15,000 pound tree that Newt wrapped a rope around to try to pull down, and then... stuff happened. Hilarity ensued. There was something about a broom, and a tree surgeon, and it went on and on until even Callista had that "dammit he's telling the tree story again..." look on her face.

It was funny that the voter reaction lines just stayed dead. Newt was just rambling on about thanking people and a story about cutting down a tree. I'm sure the team at CNN were going "WTF is this?"

Made him look like a fool. I'm all for that.

If there was actually meat to his speech, they must have missed him saying, "I'm stupid, please don't vote for me. I'm just a pandering, babbling fool."
