The Chubby Newt

This is a short, quick note -- because that's all he rates, if that.  And since I've just written about another public figure making an absurd statement, it brought to mind The Chubby Newt, who made news twice this week.

Once in blathering about the Newtown tragedy.  His opinion (or at least what he told the TV cameras):   If we hadn't taken prayer out of schools, and if we let school principals be armed -- maybe these things wouldn't happen.

And yesterday, he said that he "would probably have done better than Romney against Obama" in the election.

OK.  Let's put these both in the context that Newt is always wrong about whatever he says.  So why do tv producers keep having him on to pontificate?

Why am I writing this now and putting his name out there?    The best way to deal with Newt would be to ignore him;  don't give him a mike or a camera.   Why can't we do that -- me included?
