Gingrich gets testy during debate when asked why all his staff quit

God forbid I defend Fox's Chris Wallace, but he asked a valid question, and I paraphrase: All your staff quit, your campaign is a bit of a mess, why shouldn't we take this as an indication of how you'd run the country?

Gingrich got all petulant, in response, and accused Wallace of asking him a "gotcha!" question that no one cares about.

Well, actually, I think people do care.  It's a bit weird to have you senior staff just quit, en masse. It suggests that something bad happened.  And we have a right to know what.  And more generally, Wallace is right, there has been the perception that Gingrich's campaign is oddly off-kilter for someone who ran the House of Representatives.

It's not "I gotcha," but rather is the kind of good, difficult question that people don't ask politicians nearly enough.

I think Gingrich had this answer canned and ready to go when asked about his serial adultery and his interest in "defending marriage" when he's already on his third nuptials.  Instead, he used it here on a quite legitimate question.
