I was in the “walk in”clinic awaiting diagnosis when I chanced upon a laugh out loud posting over at Lance Mannion about the inestimable Newt Gingrich. Master Mannion challenges the idea that Senor Gingrich has “ideas” and more to the point he looks at the man’s real record in the policy and leadership departments. The post is well worth reading just for the laugh lines. Its more serious contention has to do with the mainstream medias willingness to imagine that old Newt has something like cogito grande in the cabeza. Read Sir Mannion for the skinny.
I must now lie down.
