Flack is a public relations type. FLAK is German for Flieger Abwehr Kanone (anti-aircraft gun). Americans and Brits adopted the German term for anti-aircraft fire. Flak has become part of the lexicon. And, as the WW2 bomber boys said, flak was the heaviest over the target.

Language is such a dynamic thing -- it's as alive and changing the living beings who speak it. This is an interesting detail of the two different words, "flack" and "flak." Thank you for posting it!

Christie is just pissed off that Newt is surging. I suspect that “Round Boy” believes Romney will nominate him for VP or high profile cabinet position if he’s the nominee. He knows he’ll be left out in the cold if Newt is the nominee.

Pay attention people. Christie’s a political whore at his core.

That’s quite a vision! Ann Coulter as Olive Oyl and Chris Christie as Bluto! LOL..... who’s Popeye?

Thanks, Finny, for the kind words. Most of us freepers are too well informed to be led astray by tehse Establishemnt apparatchiks trying to rewrite history.

BTW, Newt is surging ahead in the Florida polls, ahead by 9 in the insider advantage and 4 in another.

God speed Newt Gingrich!
