Exactly correct and those who are condemning Newt for his riposte to Mitt's intellectually dishonest attack are guilty themselves of intellectual dishonesty--or just plain ignorance.
Britt, are you paying attention?
I think part of Newt's problem with these parrots of the press is that they are not used to dealing with a man who thinks complex thoughts. They are used to dealing with candidates who use simplistic, sloganeering arguments and who only touch the surface of the problems America is facing. Things like Newt's reductio ad absurdum response to Mitt's smear completely escape their comprehension.
I thought Newt's response was perfect and devastating.

Fox News is doing the heavy lifting on this made up, going nowhere issue. It is the most discusting thing I have seen over the many years I have been loyal to that network.
That loyalty is being systematically destroyed.
Maybe it’s time to accept the Libs label: Faux News.

How about they both stop arguing about who has ill gotten gains, and both explain how they intend to dismantle F & F and how soon after taking office they will begin. I’d rather see an argument about who could do it faster.

Brit Hume, RINO, was selected by FOX
because he serves gladly on his knees
before Romney Soros,and Ailes.

I agree with your assessment, but I still wish he had not done that. Yes, he was logically turning the argument on Mitt and yes, he did so brilliantly. Except, he was caught on tape using the words of the left, so I think the price of winning that little exchange was too high.
Especially since Romney’s campaign will fade away on its own IMO.

Guilt by association, you are known by the company you keep, birds of a feather flock together. You get my drift?

Yep. Like your hanging out with me.
Must mean you're a Gingrich supporter.

I am in marketing and was a history minor in college. I have tons of clients lining up to pay me $1.6 million to visit my office for 30 minutes just to shoot the sh!t./sarc.
Anyone who believes Freddie Mac wasn't buying influence probably also believes Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a genius.

Britt Hume who I used to have some respect for has just been outrageous lately. His attacks on Newt Gingrich are over the top. I’m going to have to start calling him Tokyo Hume soon.

You must have missed the part in which Newt Gingrich left the House about a dozen years ago. He has no influence to sell.
He sells knowledge, the same as a lawyer sells knowledge.
He also sells the ability to create a narrative (history). For the uninitiated, narratives, narrative therapy, etc., are the cutting edge of opinion research and therapy.
People pay thousands to therapists to help them re-story their lives to more more acceptable, true, or energizing themes.
Again, though, NEWT GINGRICH has been out of power for years and years, his enemies in the GOP have succeeded him in the House, and he has NO INFLUENCE to sell.
And yes, marketing firms make multi-millions of dollars for re-storying.

I would never have guessed that Brit was such a systemite.

Fox News: We Romney, You DecideWHACK!
Gingrich earned his money,
No need to return it.
The high crimes are the bonuses paid to the CEO and others at Barney Frank's institution.
