Gingrich: You Know He's Lying Because His Lips Are Moving

From Media Matters for America: Gingrich falsely touted GOP governors of Utah and Indiana for "lowest unemployment rates in their respective regions"
During the November 16 broadcast of CBS' Face the Nation, former House Speaker and Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich said that Republicans "who are about to face this question of, how do you get the economy growing again" should ask Republican governors Mitch Daniels of Indiana and Jon Huntsman of Utah, "[H]ow did they get to the lowest unemployment rate in their respective regions?" However, the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics records show that Gingrich's claim is false. In fact, neither Utah nor Indiana has the lowest unemployment rate in its region, and several states with lower unemployment rates are governed by Democrats.
You may want to have a look at this, it's fascinating stuff. I especially mean you, Newt, you libeling lying layabout.
