Equal Time

Now that you've read the Pruden piece I mentioned in my previous post, be sure to complicate your consideration of Newt by reading as well this one by The American Spectator's Jeffrey Lord.

  3. I'm with you both on this one. I find Newt's self-promotion and arrogance nauseating. He's long-winded. Sometimes listening to him is like hearing a stream-of-consciousness ramble. As for his personal failings, it's in many ways a sad history. Even if he didn't actually ask his wife for an open marriage it's a tangled and unpleasant to watch.

    Having said all that, I can at least respect the fact that he can get in there and pull off the gloves. By comparison, Mitt Romney seems thin-skinned (which I find particularly irritating).....he should put his "big boy" pants on and get over it. On top of that, he seems unable to project a strong and steady presence. Hardly the stuff of a confident, effective world leader, let alone his lack of a consistent, conservative history. I will be holding my nose when I vote this year.........
