Ryan was Wrong – Newt was right

First, I was totally on board the Draft Ryan for President movement from the outset. If he would run, I'd still jump on board. But, via Legal Insurrection, Newt was right:

Newt Gingrich has been raked over the coals for using the term “right wing social engineering” with regard to Paul Ryan’s Medicare Plan released last spring. In context, Newt was making the point that the plan as proposed went to far in one fell swoop to pass unless public confidence had been built in advance of passage.

(...) Newt has been proven right, and is owed a huge apology, which of course will not be forthcoming. Newt was the adult in the room, as it turns out.

Newt was right. So much for Zany, huh?

Update: Newt was right about the Middle East, too. Shocker.
