Newt, Bill and Hillary, Algore, and Trent Lott are relics of the 1990’s- what I call “The Gelded Age”, a time of small-minded pettiness and Court-intrigue. With the Cold War won, a budget surplus, low gas prices, and ignoring the looming Islamofascist threat, Washington was full of soft, prissy, effeminate, passive-aggressive backstabbers who spent the decade playing parlor games.
For this decade heroes are needed, not palace courtesans. For all his faults, President Bush has been a REAL man when it has come to terrorism. Newt would be a step back.
A fine title for a very incisive analysis. Very well put.
