I wonder what is going on with all these folks I usually respect, going off on Newt? Will, Steyn, Krauthammer, etc...

How would George Will know anything at all about what it tkes to be a conservative?

Will went over years back. I don't trust anything he has to say about anything anymore.
Or, put it another way, when Will highlights Gingrich's flaws (if they are flaws, which is a different issue), and does so on behalf of Mitt, then he has become a Mitt-bot.
We are not voting for Mitt.

Salient point;
“It did so even though it paid Gingrich $30,000 an hour. That is about what he received if, as he says, he worked for Freddie Mac about an hour a month, telling it that what it was doing was insane.
I’d take $30,000 an hour from anybody willing to pay me for my opinions. What I don’t understand is what the opinions were that give everyone such agida...aren’t there any paper trails? Emails? Notes passed in the lunch room?
Bueller? Bueller?

George Will won’t be happy until he gets Barry re-elected. Who even listens to that idiot anymore?

Up in his eucalyptus tree, George -is- the conservative koala.
Very, very, very, VERY niche ecology there. Ann Coulter’s tree is nearby, but they have never mated or had offspring.

which paid him more handsomely than anyone paid HerodotusNot so fast. The Athenian people reportedly awarded Herodotus 10 silver talents, which is about 300 kilos.
At present prices, that's (verrry roughly) $320,000.
Comparing prices from one era to another is amazingly difficult, but there is at least a chance H's 10 silver talents had more purchasing power than Gingrich's dollars.
H could certainly buy more slaves with his silver, while G could buy more electronics.

The same George Will who called Gingrich a Marxist. I wonder if he would call Obama a Marxist? George has lost all credibility with me.

Indeed!
An ecology with which anyone outside the Washington beltway is entirely unfamiliar.

I’m starting to think I should support Newt based on who is opposing him.

Not surprised to see the WP pick up on this Fox News pro-Romney campaign. Trying to paint Newt as a leftist is the silliest thing I've seen. But somehow even Dr. K thinks this is a story. Fox is being greatly diminished in my mind as they pursue this sort of nonsense. They've even roped Brit Hume into supporting Romney and pushing this non-story.
I'm about ready to say goodbye to Fox News.
To: Qbert
Gingrich is reusing the attack honed by Ted Kennedy in 1994, when Romney suffered a 17-point loss in attempting to take Kennedys Senate seat.
Hey George how come you didn't mention that the early polling had Mitt ahead by double digits over Teddy and then Romney giddy with glee comes out and makes the following statement
"I don't want the votes of the extremist NRA or Christian Right Types
