Actually he was asked by a reporter if he felt “Swift Boated?”

Gingrich replied, “No, Romney-boated.”

If that is true, then Newt is a real jerk. His response should have been, the SBVFT were telling the truth about Kerry, Romney is not telling the truth about me. Newt is so inside the Beltway, he has adopted the lexicon of the MSM and the Left.

??? yes, and so? I don’t think you can have read my posts.

I know perfectly well it was the reporter who framed the question.

I have explained why I think it’s terrible that any conservative could take up this “****-boating” theme rather than reject the premise.

A key part of *good* conservative politics is knowing how to challenge and reject media narratives which are based upon leftist assumptions.

I have explained that I think Newt took the easy path and pandered to the media.

You may not agree but it is pointless to reiterate what the reporter and Gingrich said when I am criticizing the very fact that Gingrich embraced the reporter’s “****-boating” theme.
