He's simply preparing for his first State of the Union Speech!
So, cut him some slack.
Those who know how to speak effectively and know at least something on a lot of important issues don't have to waste time "preparing" for debates, so they have some extra time to start prepping for the sanctimony of pointing to people in the Mezzanine section of the Capitol Bldg.
Didn't Hillary Clinton shed some tears (fake-imagined) after Obama beat her in Iowa in 2008? Telling us (much like the sniper dodging deceit) just how hard it is to be Hillary Rodham?
Will never forget those contrived town hall plants created for both Obama and Clinton, having basically their own staff pose a citizens to ask questions of the Candidates in 2008. What a con game. Then prior to the NH vote, the Clintons actually planted some absurd male protesters holding up "stay in the kitchen" signs to create some bogus story to appeal to female/gender obsessed voters.
I don't doubt Newt is genuine when speaking about his Mother. Of course, it isn't healthy politics for the Presidential contest. If he does do very poorly in the Caucus, I hope he doesn't pull a Howard Dean scream.
On another note, Mr. Lowry, if you were watching nearly all the coverage of the Iowa Primary (especially in regards to Special Report on Fox), you would have no idea Mr. Christie, Mr. Thune, etc., have been appearing in Iowa on Mr. Romney's behalf. I do think it is a relevant news story, as these leaders have an impact in my opinion.
If you look, my comment is listed as "13:03" while the other by CE is "12:59" - 4 minutes difference? A very short time for me to write my comment (edited as well), include a link, with the solvemedia Ads and upload time. If I had known of CE's similar (in my opinion sharp) reaction, I would have simply hit "reply" to respond to that posters comment.
I still give the cake to Bill Clinton, for dialing up the tears over the death of Ron Brown at the guy's funeral a mere .5 seconds after yucking it up with someone in his entourage.
Nobody in HOLLYWOOD can top that smarmy level of hollow phoniness.
I see, a "fat" guy (I thought he was a human being, but I am told he's "gum on shoes" or something) doesn't have the right to remember his mother, once in a long campaign. On the other hand, the present President made a career solely out of selling his autobiography, written in highly narcissistic, self-serving, hyperbolic, largely invented terms. His opponents, instead of focusing on how to stop the destruction, try to play the politics of destruction with each other.
I still want to vote for the GOP candidate, whomever he may be. Another couple of months of Republicans unceasingly behaving like hateful, partisan Democrat teenagers though, and I may just skip this election cycle altogether. Don't think I'd be the only one.

Fat guy in doughnut shop crying about his mom: This sounds like the plotline of a John Candy movie that never got made.
Does anyone know if Steve Martin or Bill Murray were in the audience.

Who invited him? Can't he be re-banished to TeeVee Talking Headsville?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSo Newt is trying to play the Hillary card now, huh? Oh, the irony!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseReminded me of the same thing...

This rare video of Christie is Iowa via RCP is fascinating, with a screaming pro-Obama plant desperately screaming in the end about the 1% - Christie is excellent:
Reply to this commentLinkReport Abuse"Let's be real clear. Let's be real clear. President Barack Obama came out to Iowa three years ago, and he talked you about hope and change. Let me tell you, after three years of Obama, we are hopeless and changeless. And we need Mitt Romney to bring us back, to bring America back," Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said in Iowa today at a Romney rally."
Didn't you steal your latest little piece of blotter paper from Conservative Esq?

still hostile madisonian?
no, in fact when I was typing my comment, slowly, there were no comments on this thread.
i have a few things going on, typing quickly, but often slow to hit 'post'.
also, the "solve media" things always take a little time, with the captcha answer thing required to post a comment.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSTOP!
Stand athwart yourself, and yell "STOP"!
I was -- how do we say in Yiddish? -- JOKING?
Honestly, you sure are tireless for an Old Man.
:)
I'll bet someone else's money -- Solyndra style -- that we'd share about a thousand laughs sparring over this crud in person.
Don't fall into the MikeB "lazy thinker" trap. In between my lines is always at least a smidgen of jest, except in response to the leftists.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAt least Bubba Clinton was good at that kind of thing. Go back to wh*ring yourself out to rent seeking clients and writing bad history.

But we all want to see Obama in tears as he packs up, leaving the White House.
The General is not going to be pretty, and we hope will provide a number of sad moments for the Democratic Party.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHe won't be crying.
On his way out, he'll have smoke blowing out his ears, and his wife's thumb pushing into his middle vertebra.
He won't be such a big fan of gun control, then, neither!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThank you, NR, for censoring any message which is not mocking Gingrich and toeing the pro-Romney party line.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseYou expected something different?
IF Gingrich wins the nomination it should be...interesting to watch NR...Ann Coulter...etc walk their statements back.
