LOL. This thread provides only snippets of a 104,000 book and you know what is "glossed over"?!
For the record, CEW was a Newt supporter throughout the GOP primary and there are plenty of FReepers who can confirm this. In the book, he only comments upon some tactical missteps within the campaign, but he did support the man and the message during the campaign.
“word”
What's the big deal here? I don't understand why anyone would say these kind of falsehoods.
SOTC is right, I was big Newt supporter and the book includes columns of mine from Sept, Oct, Nov of 2011 confiming this. I also point out that there is a “good Newt” and a “bad Newt” and that is recurrent theme in the book as the “good Newt V Bad Newt” contrast is a microcosm of the conservative base V establishment tension. I also blister, and I mean BLISTER, the consultants for Newt who got him to abandon his anti Obama message. This section is funny, maddening, and poignant.
