CNN to relaunch ‘Crossfire’ with Newt Gingrich, Stephanie Cutter?

CNN is reportedly in talks with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Barack Obama’s deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter to host its reboot of “Crossfire,” which was cancelled in 2005 but is set to return this June. We’ve found at least one person excited to see Cutter on air: fellow Obama for America veteran Lis Smith.
Good to see a network taking interest in smart women who have, you know, actually worked/excelled in politics politico.com/blogs/media/20…

Whether or not Cutter excelled at politics is up for debate, but her on-air meltdowns during the campaign, such as her epic meltdown with Bret Baier over Benghazi, lead us to believe there just might be some entertainment value, especially when you add Newt Gingrich to the mix. The only thing missing is the conservative. Zing!
Dear CNN: the only Newt Gingrich/Stephanie Cutter TV show I’d be interested in would involve them fighting in a pit with rusty broadswords.

Don’t know why they’d broadcast if for free, @cnn would make more money with a Newt vs Stephanie Cutter pay-per-view. Newt would destroy her

I do, however, relish the idea of Newt completely obliterating anything Stef Cutter has to say. That’s not a fair fight. #Crossfire

Gingrich and Cutter. Can you find two more unllikable people? #crossfire

@memeorandum @dylanbyers #Newt is sometimes tolerable.#Cutter is a compulsive liar sociopath and completely unwatchable. Bad move, #CNN.

Newt Gingrich would make Stefanie Cutter look like Simple Jack.

I was kind of excited to hear Crossfire was coming back. But this is not what I was hoping for: politico.com/blogs/media/20…

Also, nothing against Cutter, but the ideal place for Newt is MSNBC, teaming up with Chris Matthews and talking about animals

1. Newt vs Cutter not fair to Dems. 2. Also not fair to guests who may want to talk.

So will Newt vs Cutter Crossfire show be done in Lincoln-Douglas debate format? Newt gets one show to talk, Cutter rebuts in next show?

Wait wait wait…..something is happening with Newt Gingrich and Stephanie Cutter?!?!?! LMFAO.

Stephanie Cutter and Newt Gingrich for the new Crossfire? CNN do you WANT us not to watch?

Is it really going to be that bad?
Oh man, the new Crossfire is going to be even more horrible than the snarkiest Twitter user could have imagined. politico.com/blogs/media/20…
