backs down on your ass, then you are truly, "Dished, Diddled and Done!" to quote the late Billy Bunter.
And so it is with Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich who two weeks ago bawled for an immediate imposition of a "No Fly Zone" over Libya and then when NATO dropped the hammer on Colonel Khadafi, America's Eternal Sophomore In Politics, howled that the Obama Admin had acted amateurishly and provocatively.
And what is worse he expressed himself in fatally unheroic terms, "I would not have intervened...I think there were a lot of other ways to affect Khadafy."
For a politician who fairly quivers at the mere mention of Ronald Reagan's manly monicker it was a cringe worthy moment.
I mean Geezus sort your trash better Newt.
And so hung on his own petard, Gingrich twists slowly in the wind, if he was a democrat he'd be out of the presidential race by now but likely Newt will stagger on into Fred Thompsonville tattered and alone.
He ought to drop out, as this was a situation that exposed for all to see the sheer shallow and forensic reaches of the Former Speaker's mind.
For my part I hope he stays in, the GOP presidential primary slate is beginning to have definite "Night of the Living Dead" overtones, and there is always room on stage for another nervous, cowardly conservative pseudo intellectual.
