Dr. Sowell’s article is superb. But as Andy Mccarthy (who dissented from National Review’s Editorial against Newt) writes in today’s NRO, Newt’s statements are so utterly implausible that it is like giving Obama a wrecking ball to launch against Newt. As other FReepers have pointed out the problem with Newt, is Newt. With Reagan we could all confidently say “Let Reagan be Reagan” and we can’t say this with Newt.
I used to think Steyn was the smartest man in the room.
He still thinks he is.
Sowell has the smarts to see the worth of Newt.
Steyn doesn’t have the same stake - he’s not even a US citizen.
