President Obama’s senior adviser Robert Gibbs took a shot at Newt Gingrich when asked about the former Speaker’s take on the situation in Afghanistan.

“Quite honestly, I’m not sure many people are looking to Newt Gingrich for foreign policy advice,” Gibbs said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union. “If there’s a problem on the lunar colony, he’ll be among the first we call.”

He was asked about Gingrich’s view that the U.S. should demand an apology from President Hamid Karzai for the recent killings of two American military advisers in an Afghan ministry.
