On the Romney camp oppo call, Sen. Jim Talent pulls a “more in sorrow than in anger” routine over Newt Gingrich, saying that while he’s often smart, “he also says outrageous things that come from nowhere, and he has a tendency to say them at times when they most undermine the conservative agenda.” The issue he particularly picks out is the Ryan Plan.

Talent also says of Newt, “he’s not a reliable and trusted conservative leader because he’s not a reliable leader.”
