Chait Comment 2

What Will Newt Do Next?

comment

This time I am honestly disappointed. Before the jump I read "Put yourself in Newt Gingrich’s position. You want ..." and thought "this is going to be good. After the jump Chait will note that it is a very bad mistake for a sane normal person to try to predict by putting himself in Newt Gingrich's position, since Newt is to egomaniacal to his own position and will behave quite unlike a normal person in his position due to delusions of greatness, self indulgence and spite. But Chait will make it snappy. Just click for snark for the ages." But then you assume that Newt is just Jon Chait in New Gingrich's position. My new resolution is not to stand anywhere near you as you attempt to reason with a rabid rhino (note the h -- the endangered species which is an animal with a horn not the moderate Republican).

That is, what dsimon said much better and more briefly
(but I just aint got his culture never having seen The Dark Knight).
