ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Actors Kathy Bates and James Cromwell have some choice words for Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, who this week claimed he wants to colonize the moon by his second term. While attending a red carpet event in Hollywood, Oscar-winner Bates said "I think he should be the first one to go" when asked about Gingrich's proposal. Actor James Cromwell was a little more terse on the subject: "I think Newt Gingrich is a jerk," said "The Artist" actor. "Is that clear enough? I couldn't take seriously anything that man said."
