Newt Gingrich is a YouTube Director

... and "he" posted a video in response to the 1984 anti-Hillary ad, the so-called 'first viral online ad of the 2008 campaign.'

Gingrich hasn't publicly said whether he'll join the campaign, but he's certainly entering the fray and trying to cultivate an image as a smart and principled public servant who strives to solve problems rather than win political points. Granted, he's doing that on the heels of his admission of an extra-marital affair while he was antagonizing Bill Clinton.

Anyway, here we have it: a politician... using YouTube... to castigate someone for... using YouTube... in a way that he finds unproductive.
