The actor at the centre of Newt's mid-90s tax scandal watches the former speaker's resurrection with amazement and disgust
As Newt Gingrich fights to save his political life, locked in a potentially decisive battle in the final days of the Florida primary with his bitter rival Mitt Romney, one man is following the struggle with peculiarly intense and personal interest.
Ben Jones is best known by millions of Americans as the actor who played "Crazy" Cooter Davenport, the truck driving mechanic in the hit 1980s TV series the Dukes of Hazzard. But in politics, Jones is credited with having helped destroy Newt Gingrich's congressional career by leveling accusations of financial improprieties at him, which ultimately led to his resignation from the speakership.

That strange Cooter is Newts downfall.
Really, what did Newt do that Reid and Pelosi haven't done?
Cooter is every mans demise! All jokes aside.the fact that a person was involved in any type of scandal should prove he is unfit for our presidency. I don't care who it is. We already have a scandalous president.
12:37? we are not electing the Pope! I want the smartest man in the room. Which surely leaves obummer and romney out of it!
1:18-Newt definately is the smartest man in the room.Problem is,the rest are not as smart,but they are perfect,ha ha.It amazes me how people overwhelmingly fall for the negative publicity.
just wait till Newt whips out his Daisey Dukes
