[Utmost Certainty]

Listen to Newt's explanation.

Newt's case is simple:

1) Romney's "private sector experience" is of a particular kind that's going to represent a huge liability in the general election. Nobody's asserting that Bain Capital's actions were illegitimate nor unlawful, but it's obvious that Romney was no white knight of heroic, entrepreneurial capitalism. 2) Questions on business ethics are legitimate inquiries that one should have to answer for, especially if they're running for public office—these are not attacks on capitalism, and it's completely goofy that some would construe it that way.

I think you're right. But I still do not like the spectacle of supposed right-wingers adopting the rhetoric of the left. I remember the Dems mocking Tom Delay for being a "bugcatcher." That was beneath contempt to them.

I think this is very similar.

Exhibit A against Newt. Everything he says requires a 200-page dissertation to explain away.

He would be so much better off if he made his point the first time.
