Gingrich's new DVD ads explained

Gawker explains that an outside political group is running Iowa ads in support of Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign as time runs out, but the outside group's ad is actually a two-year-old commercial for a DVD that Gingrich has a financial stake in. So Gingrich gets traditional campaign-ad help by having a message reinforced — that he's Ronald Reagan's guy — and both Citizens United and the Gingriches make more money by selling copies of their forgotten DVD, while Gingrich is in the news.
