Re: Make Up Your Mind, Newt By Jonah Goldberg January 20, 2012 3:28 P.M. Andy, I'm totally with you on this. I mention it in today's — otherwise generally pro-Newt — Goldberg File: Gingrich's rage was well articulated, but it seemed canned to me. If he really believed that John King did one of the most despicable things imaginable, why did he rush up to King to congratulate him on a great job immediately after the debate? Part of it is just me. When I lose my temper at someone, when I'm convinced they've done something bad — never mind close to the most despicable thing I can imagine — it stays with me. I suspect the same is true with Gingrich. So when he (and, I believe, Callista) ran over to do the post-game chit-chat, it struck me that the term "post-game" isn't just an expression — it really was a game. I have to hope at least some of the people who gave Gingrich a standing ovation for his theatrical outrage recognize that.
