Have to disagree. NO ONE since Reagan until Newt had the cojones to even think of challenging the almighty press.
They will see one ole geezer left over from the Reagan era in Newt and ramp up the pressure. Have to keep the younger generations of Republicans neutered.
(You forgot Donald Rumsfeld. ;-)
Newt has stopped them in their tracks, they will have to get another tactic. I doubt that, because the MEDIAs ego just will not admit they lost, but I'll bet right now they are in their panic rooms trying to figure out how they can stop NEWT.
Newt the Gladiator is fighting back, giving as good as he gets, lets say BETTER. How many mods has he already destroyed? NEXT.
