Roger Simon is the Chief Political Columnist of Politico. He grew up on the South Side of Chicago where politics was a contact sport.At the Chicago Sun-Times, where he wrote a column four times per week, Simon was taught that the only way for a journalist to look upon a politician was down.
All these quotes from Newt were from his speech last night
in South Carolina.
He actually didn’t gloat. or appear like he loved getting revenge vs. Romney.
But he did say two things which hit hard v. Obama.
One: About the Keystone Pipeline. that’s when he said they can’t play
tic tac toe.
Two: he did say that it is a choice between radical Alinsky and freedom and
pursuit of happiness.
I did say in my mind that was for the Republican primary voters,
because I don’t think most general election voters know who Alinsky
is and that Obama taught Alinsky tactics.
Newt Angry? No. Not last night.
This column was fundamentally misleading.
