Excuse me, but if a Republican presidential candidate can’t turn being rich and paying a low tax rate into a positive, he isn’t much of a Republican. By contrast, Newt flipped a question about his moral laxity and adulterous behavior into an indictment on the ethical failings of the free press, thus winning over values voters. Come on, Mitt.

Know why the audience gave a standing ovation to Newt’s pummeling of the press? It’s not because they dared to ask a question about his moral failings. It’s because they asked a question about his moral failings of almost *two decades ago*. America forgives people who confess their mistakes and no one (except the press and your enemies) thinks that mistakes you made 15 years ago in your marriage are fair game.
If you’re going to hit Newt, hit him for who he is today.
