Newt was there; yes, he was.

Newt's irrelevance to this process was confirmed in this morning's New York Times.

An article about last night's debate focused largely on the battle between Perry and Romney. Buried in the story was this paragraph:

"The debate organizers . . . placed Mr. Perry at the center of the debate stage. He was surrounded on either side by Mr. Romney and Michele Bachmann. The other candidates on hand were Representative Ron Paul of Texas, former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, and Herman Cain, a retired business executive."'

Get it? They left Newt out completely. Which, for a narcissist like Newt, is the unkindest cut of all. Of course, he's not a serious candidate at this point. He just craves the attention and the boost for his book/video/DVD empire. Sarah Palin's dark twin.

Let's see if Newt demands a correction and if he gets it.
