That Iowa Republican Debate…

…had some interesting moments, to say the least.

   It was GOP verbal wrestling in some spots between Michele Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty,and then Newt Gingrich went off slightly on host Chris Wallace because Wallace asked him about the state of his campaign after the resignations of all of his staffers. Gingrich did not care for the question.

"I took seriously Bret's injuction to put aside the talking points," Gingrich began, referring to a request from Fox New moderator Brett Baier at the beginning of the debate that the candidates not waste time with canned answers. "And I wish you would put aside the 'gotcha' questions."

Wallace sat, silent and smirking.

"I'd love to see the rest of tonight's debate asking us about what we would do to lead an America that has a president that has failed to lead instead of playing Mickey Mouse games," he said."I think that there's too much attention paid by the press corps about the campaign minutiae and not enough paid by the press corps to the basic ideas that distinguish us from Barack Obama."  Source

  Poor old Newt.

  For whatever reason, Fox News video never embeds on this site, so the best that I can do is to provide the links for you.

Pawlenty vs. Bachmann

Gingrich vs. The Media

Rick Santorum vs. The Tenth Amendment
