The AP calls Gingrich out

Now, this happens all the time, but no politician wants to see it actually reported.

Potential GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has promoted public policy positions that closely track the financial interests of companies that underwrite a think tank he founded.....

Among his ideas is a health system that lets consumers, not health maintenance organizations, choose the best doctors, medical treatments and hospitals. Such a goal would be accomplished with health savings accounts, which are sought by companies that fund Gingrich's think tank....

A second idea, electronic records to keep better track of people's medical care, is a potential boon to technology companies that underwrite the center.

Rarely does Gingrich acknowledge his opinions would benefit the drug makers, insurers and others who each pay the center up to $200,000 annually.....

Gingrich, through a spokesman, declined to be interviewed.

I have to wonder who spawned this story. It smacks of "opposition research." (Maybe someone who doesn't want him in the '08 race? Or was it McCain's campaign firing back?)
