No matter. It’s time to cut Newt out of our diets.
He has no nutritional value, certainly not at this point, as he peddles
his ludicrous guarantee of $2.50-a-gallon gasoline, a promise that would
be made only by someone with his own bottomless strategic reserve of
crude. Doubly oily entendre intended.
There were calls for him to desist two weeks ago, after he lost Alabama,
which abuts his home state of Georgia. But they fell on a deaf Newt.
There were fresh appeals last week, when he failed to wring even one
measly delegate from Illinois on Tuesday and then Louisiana on Saturday.
But Newt doesn’t need anything as prosaic as delegates, so long as
there’s still pocket lint from Sheldon Adelson and the warmth of
Callista’s frozen smile.
If he refuses to quit, we in the news media must quit him. Starve him of
his very sustenance: attention. Exert a kind of willpower that we’ve
lacked in this primary, which we turned into too much of a circus by
encouraging too many clowns.
