Out Come The Knives: Conservative Pundits Slam Gingrich

As Newt Gingrich's surge in the polls continues, the backlash against his campaign for president has begun. Prominent conservatives like Ann Coulter, George Will and David Brooks have started to voice concerns about the former Speaker of the House, comparing Gingrich to everything from a hand grenade to a 1960s-style reveler.

Peggy Noonan, writing in Saturday's Wall Street Journal, posited that most observations about Newt are accurate.

"Ethically dubious? True. Intelligent and accomplished? True. Has he known breathtaking success and contributed to real reforms in government? Yes. Presided over disasters? Absolutely. Can he lead? Yes. Is he erratic and unreliable as a leader? Yes. Egomaniacal? True. Original and focused, harebrained and impulsive -- all true," she wrote.

Here are some of the other criticisms levied against Gingrich in recent weeks:
