WASHINGTON (CNN) – Several members of the Republican National Committee are miffed at Newt Gingrich for claiming that they’re a small bunch of egomaniacs who need to be coddled by the party chairman.

“Newt needs to take a breath,” New Jersey committeeman David Norcross told CNN.

Gingrich made the assertion on C-SPAN Thursday when asked about a new resolution put forth by some veteran members — including Norcross and RNC Treasurer Randy Pullen of Arizona — that would limit chairman Michael Steele’s ability to control how the committee spends its money.

That resolution has sparked a fresh round of infighting between Steele loyalists on the committee and entrenched members who backed other candidates for the chairmanship and remain skeptical of his leadership.

Defending Steele’s tumultuous start, Gingrich said the chairman might be under fire from some in the committee because he “probably has not yet learned the art of massaging the egos of RNC members.”

“They all think they’re precious, and they all think they should be taken care of, and they all think the job of the chairman, first of all, is to make the RNC members happy,” Gingrich said of the committee’s 168 members.

Tennessee GOP chairwoman Robin Smith objected to that suggestion, saying that “RNC members, on the whole, are committed individuals who sincerely work for the best of our party.”

“Forming circular firing squads only gives aid to the Democrats who are doing quite nicely in undercutting the public trust in our government,” Smith said.

Oh and about those circular firing squads, if you really really believe you will purify the party and everything will be better, give it a try.

1. They're only fun to watch when they're out of power.

When they're in power, they are downright frightening.

are all in competition for 'purity'.

7. Never going to get close - he makes Bill Clinton look like a saint

Former history professor Gingrich, who championed “family values,” married his second wife, Marianne, within months of divorcing Jackie, his cancer-stricken first wife, and 18 years later divorced Marianne to marry Callista Bisek, a congressional aide 23 years his junior with whom he reportedly had carried on a six-year affair. (You may recall that Gingrich was the sole prominent Republican to say that Clinton’s non-sex with White House intern Monica Lewinsky wasn’t enough of a reason to impeach the president.)



Gingrich later admitted that he had an affair with Bisek before divorcing his second wife.
