Ann Coulter on Newt Gringrich circa October 1999

In her Right Now column in the October 1999 issue of George Magazine, Ann Coulter blasted Newt Gingrich for, as she called it, "fooling around with some little filly". In the final paragraph, she said "I mention that politicians are not exactly paragons of virtue simply to suggest that you might want to reconsider your joint-checking arrangement with the U.S. government. If their wives can't trust them at the office, neither can we."

With Newt Gingrich shaping up to be the most conservative of the electable Republicans, will Ann Coulter flip-flop on her views of Gingrich?
