Apparently Newt Gingrich is seeking to reinvent himself as a conservative environmentalist. David Roberts at Gristmill is skeptical, and contends that Newt-brand conservatism will always sacrifice the environment to its economic agenda when push comes to shove.

Personally, I say with the endless parade of Bushes and Clintons dominating our politics, the last thing we need is another 90s re-tread. Shouldn’t Newt be hosting something on VH1 at this point?
