I am just supporting the candidate with the best plans by far, and the best record at creating jobs. No matter which candidate it is. And right now it is Perry. Had Cain came out with the 20% plan that Perry came out with, he would have moved up on my list.
Another debate TONIGHT... And it's NEWT's turn to pop up as the next whack-a-mole candidate!
Gail Collins wrote: Newt is always good in debates, if you like extremely pompous people who appear to be practically levitating with their own sense of personal wonderfulness. During the last outing, Gingrich’s most fascinating moment came when he explained why the mortgage lender Freddie Mac paid him $300,000 in 2006. First of all, it had nothing whatsoever to do with lobbying, or attempting to influence the Republicans who happened to control Congress at a time when there was talk of clamping down on the way Freddie operated. Just put that out of your mind.
No, Gingrich explained very clearly that Freddie gave him the three-hundred grand for his “advice as a historian.”
This is fantastic and important news. Right now a great many college students are trying to decide on a course of study. Some of them would probably like to major in history but are wondering if they should pick something that might be more lucrative. Not to worry, college students! Look at Newt. Three-hundred-thousand dollars for advising! And the way he described it in the debate, it appeared to involve about only an hour of his time.
So, if given a choice between an M.B.A. in finance or an M.A. in medieval studies, you know where to go. And tell them Newt sent you.
A regular columnist, usually for the Washington Post. I would have posted the link to the article, but it was in an email, and I don't have a Washington Post subscription. I suspect you are as good at Googling "Gail Collins" as I am.
I saw no need to "google" because the name means nothing to me without reference. Name dropping without reference should only be done with universally known names or personalities.
