This is actually kind of sad to watch...while never a great fan of Newt’s I liked listening to him and was glad he was around. Seeing him disintegrate this way is humiliating for him- particularly since I don’t think he understands how embarrassed he ought to feel..
“I don’t think he understands how embarrassed he ought to feel,” is exactly the right way to say it, SE Mom. It’s been this way for a long time. He didn’t understand how embarrassed he ought to have felt when he said he believes that there’s an anthropogenic vector to global warming. He didn’t understand how embarrassed he ought to have felt when he supported Dede Scozzafava, and he didn’t understand how embarrassed he ought to have felt when he supported Mike Castle. That’s it in a nutshell.
