Closing the book

When former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich visited Council Bluffs, Iowa, in May, we knew he was up to something.


But as he signed all those books, some people couldn't figure out what it was.


He kept the door open to a possible presidential bid, but now we're glad that we kept a rather skeptical view (see HERE).


"Bluffs. As in, Council Bluffs. As in Council Bluffs, Iowa.


That's where former House Speaker Newt Gingrich made his first book-tour stop on Tuesday.


The question is whether he's bluffing when it comes to his possible entry into the Republican race for the White House later this year."

Finally, Gingrich has closed the book on his White House flirtation. As he told FoxNews:


"For the moment, I'm just going to watch the race."


Wait, wait... Doesn't that leave the door open? We'll have to buy his next book to find out what he's really up to.
