Anyone count the number of times Newt said 'Reagan' during the CNN interview

[Fuzz]

with Candy?

Holy crap.

[edhopper]

1. I like how Candy caught him in all the lies

about his ethics. Oh, wait, she let him get away with everything.

2. Noticed that too. She was afraid of being bullied.

3. I think it's more like

she's a Repug shill.

4. You know who can and has taken him down in the past?

Bob Schieffer. I have heard past interviews (including the last time Getrich peaked), where Schieffer eviscerated him into a bloody pulp and all he could do was gurgle.

5. The Tiffanys interview.

7. It's part of the narrative

Romney's narrative was that he was inevitable, and you tea partiers and fundies had better rally around him. Newt is trying to channel Reagan to go back to the future.

The feeling among Republican'ts is that Obama is Carter all over again, and that they had to go through all of this to get a new rebirth of Reagan conservatism. St. Ronnie was divorced, too, you know, although the circumstances were quite different.

We've had over a decade of tawdry entertainment, both in and out of politics that has lessened the shock value of what Gingrich has done in the minds of the fundies, they've become a bit inured to this sort of thing.
