Seattle PI: Ex-House Speaker Newt Gingrich is still trying to live down "Meet the Press" remarks on Sunday, in which he described as "radical" House Republicans' plan to turn Medicare into a voucher system. After calling the budget plan's author, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, to apologize, Gingrich went on Fox News with orders to the political opposition: Don't quote me. "I want to make sure every House Republican is protected from some kind of dishonest Democratic ad," he said. "So let me say on the record, any ad which quotes what I said on Sunday is a falsehood. Because I have said publicly those words were inaccurate and unfortunate and I'm prepared to stand up . . ."
