It may be further evidence of the Republican Party’s current doldrums that a top party spokesman, who will appear on Meet The Press this Sunday to debate a high-ranking Democrat, is none other than Newt Gingrich.

Gingrich will be facing off against Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), to discuss national security issues and the controversy surrounding Nancy Pelosi’s claims against the CIA.

Consider the fact that Durbin is a top-ranking elected Democrat — while Gingrich resigned as Speaker of the House a little over ten years ago.
