Newt is a whore, he will sell himself to anyone who is in front him with a shiny penny. Yesterday morning Newt was against all Federal research spending, but last night when he spoke to a group working on Alzheimer's Disease he spoke of the need for more Federal research funds for the treatment of ...can you guess?... Alzheimer's Disease. If he were speaking to a group of tree surgeons he would be demanding research funds for their pet needs just as quickly. He is for whatever pleases the crowd that happens to be in front of him at the moment and he makes no real attempts at keeping his story straight from one day to the next. He can get away with that, for the most part*, with today's Press but sooner or later people start noticing it for themselves.
* With the notable exceptions of two true friends of Democracy, Rachel Maddow and Amy Goodman, there is next to no reporting of fact or in-depth analysis of politics reported in our popular (TV) Press.
