McCain brushes off Gingrich criticism of GOP presidential field

The Arizona Daily Sun

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - John McCain on Tuesday brushed aside derogatory comments made by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who called the Republican presidential field a "pathetic" bunch of "pygmies."

"I see the former member of the House of Representatives as a person who has many, many comments to make and he's made many, many comments critical of me in the past," McCain told reporters Tuesday after attending a fundraiser in Grand Rapids. "We had a fundamental disagreement about the role of money in politics."

Speaking at a Monday breakfast sponsored by The American Spectator, a conservative magazine, the Georgia Republican labeled the nine-man GOP presidential field as a "pathetic" bunch of "pygmies," the San Francisco Examiner reported.
