Newt Gingrich (the guy not running for president) has a new ad out against the McCain-Bush-Kennedy immigration bill:

It's worth noting just how misleading this ad is: 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were in America legally on visas. Punishing Mexican immigrants for Saudi terrorism is more than a non-sequitur — it's a transparent fig leaf for pre-existing nativist sentiment.

UPDATE: No sooner does Mr. Gingrich drop an ad than someone drops oppo research on him (hmmm... who's pro-comprehensive-immigration these days and running for president?) showing that he used to support the president's approach.
