That King guy on CNN was an idiot last night.

Leads off questioning Newt with salicious crap about his ex-wife.
(And that's all it is. Supermarket tabloid shit.)

Meanwhile Newt's far worse problem, namely his intention to ignore the Supreme Court if *HE* doesn't how they rule, got ignored.

Maybe some tough questions and follow-ups would be asked if O'Donnell, Maddow, Schultz or Sharpton was the moderator, possibly even Matthews. It's about time these right wing jackasses finally faced some left or left-leaning questioning.

you were not the intended audience last night.

Plenty of time to destroy that SCOTUS gaffe. They need the quick hits and attention grabbers to get through Saturday.

I had to almost swallow my pride and side with Newt. But, there isn't enough soap in the world that would've made me clean, again. This wife/ex-wife/mistress thing is interesting as far as the lies go and how it represents his lack of character. It doesn't show what a complete maroon he is as far as knowing what power the POTUS has or doesn't have. Nor does it expose the dangerous attitudes he has towards minorities, the poor and middle class, or children.
