Newt #10

Let's see: first he "dithered," now he's "floundering."

That's what Newt said about Obama's handling of the Libya crisis. Obama position is "nonsense," and the situation is "a mess," he said.

But actually those words describe Newt's own bloviating nonsense.

First, he dithered: said we should attack like right now; then he said he wouldn't have done it at all.

Now, when someone challenged his flipflop, he's desperately trying to create some underlying principle that can encompass both -- so he doesn't look like the jackass that he is, whose only principle is opposing anything Obama does.

It's not going so well. Newt is just plain floundering in his mess. And he has so little self-awareness that he can't see it.

Still, he's polling 4th among the expected GOP hopefuls.

We're not done with him yet, I'm afraid.
