Now that Newt has bullied the debate moderators, are they all afraid of questioning him about the

[mfcorey1]

questionable character flaws that would diminish his decision making as President of the United States? Will the MSM stand up to his intimidations? He makes sure that he has a live audience before he starts his rants. It makes it seem that he is being harassed. I am just wondering.

1. Without the crowd, his "outrage" wouldn't have worked.

Hopefully another journalist will ask him this question in a "quiet room".

2. nailed it

5. hopefully with a camera running, and a certified, third-party lie detector attached

and recording.

12. Mixed mittaphor.

3. Gingrich uses typical distraction tactics

They should hammer him on it constantly. I hate the media but in this instance, the media isn't the problem. Gingrich's hypocrisy is the problem.

4. The moderators need to start the question by using Newt's own quotes from when he attacked Clinton's

infidelity.

6. I'd pay money to the moderator who'd ask him that question.

"newt, please explain why you thought it necessary to spend $50MM+ of taxpayer money to investigate and impeach President Clinton for having consensual sex, while you were cheating on your wife at the same time? How big a hypocrite are you?" Love to see Newt doing contortions as he tries to worm himself out of that question. Oh well, maybe that will be served up in the GE.

9. Let's draft Geraldo to moderate it!!!!!

[blm]

14. So, in a debate questioning infidelity is 'inappropriate' but congress can focus on it for 11 months

and spend all their media time and the taxpayers' money on 'investigating' an infidelity thoroughly and force an impeachment of a president for it?

[nobodyspecial]

16. That would be a GREAT question

Needs a twitter tag.

[Old and In the Way]

18. #ImpeachNewtforsex

[nobodyspecial]

19. Won't work.

How would you impeach someone not it office?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

13. Or the things he said two minutes ago.

7. I think Newt borrowed a play from Poppy.

&feature=related

Outrage has worked to deflect criticism in the past.

[edhopper]

15. Exactly

That's right from the Lee Atwater playbook.

Also, that "spontaneous" crowd looked an awful lot like the folks that stormed the Florida recount. Also orchestrated.

8. if john king had any balls or intellect he wouldn't have stood there like a dork

[treestar]

10. Exactly, I wanted him to launch right into how Newt judged Clinton

on these same issues.

[spanone]

11. i think it was intentional. he knew that gingrich would go ballistic, yet said nothing.

king was complicit

17. Newt is a flip-flopper on adultery, family values, and character ... just keep repeating that.

Then ask him why Clinton's affair with Lewinsky was a "character flaw" that LITERALLY became a FEDERAL CASE, but his own, serial adultery is totally and completely off limits.

It will be fun to watch the GOP flip flop on the issue of personal character. It used to be critical, and now its off limits.

[Atman]

20. Newt believes on one thing, and one thing only: Newt.

He led the Clinton impeachment while he was cheating on his own wife, or divorcing his cancer-stricken wife, or doing three-ways, or whatever. It's hard to keep track. The fact that he has so far been able to successfully turn this into a "elite liberal media" problem is amazing.

That same "liberal elite media" kept its nose up Newt's ass for six years as Newt pursued impeachment of a sitting president for the EXACT SAME THINGS NEWT WAS DOING AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. Truly, hypocrisy begins with Newt and ends with Newt. Anyone trying to defend this fucking arrogant, womanizing, cheating, swinging, cheating, cheating, womanizing, cheating scumbag is...well...probably just another supporter of the GOP.

"Yay, Newt! Rid us of that black man! He keeps killing terrorists, increasing employment, lowering taxes on the middle class, proving health insurance -- you must stop him! Bring us back to the glory days of the Bush Crime Family!"
