Did I just hear Newt Gingrich right?
Did Newt Gingrich -- currently the odds-on favorite for the Republican nomination -- just seriously suggest on national television hiring inner city kids at reduced rates so they could fire half the union janitors? Seriously? Make the black kids work for their education the way sharecroppers worked for their subsistence? What's he going to suggest next, a return to slavery?
