32. Good thing you didn't see the one with Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson, then.
How can Newt be a GW denier when he volunteered to be part of the campaign? He changed his mind.

“I am honored that Al Gore asked me to be a part of this campaign urging people to take care of the planet,” Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network. “It’s just common sense that we ought to be good stewards of the environment, and do everything within our power to protect this fragile planet that we all live on,” according to an account on the wecansolveit.org web site.

House speaker Nancy Pelosi and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich appear in a similar commercial titled, “Speakers speak out on climate change.”

Using the U.S. Capitol as a backdrop for their ad, Pelosi, a liberal Democrat, and Gingrich, a conservative Republican, find common ground on this issue. “We don’t always see eye to eye, do we Newt?” says Pelosi. “No, but we do agree our country must take action to address climate change… if enough of us demand action from our leaders, we can spark the innovation we need,” responds Gingrich. Pelosi closes the ad with a pitch for viewers to visit wecansolveit.org saying “together we can do this.”

Here's the website for the Alliance for Climate Protection:
