When I came home from work and turned on the TV I’d forgotten there was another debate tonight. But I clicked over to CNN on cable exactly as Newt Gingrich was responding to John King’s question on Gingrich’s ex-wife Marianne’s allegations. It was a riveting moment. And Newt gave a good answer and obviously touched a nerve with the audience. But after John King came back with second question Newt became so angry it seemed a little disproportionate by that time and he raised his voice to a level of visceral anger. It seemed bellowing and a bit inappropriate. Understandable, but just a tad over the top. As I work on this post the CNN team is doing the post-debate analysis and they’re talking about it. John King says he doesn’t take it personally, but when you look at the clip he definitely was uncomfortable for a minute. And David Gergen argues it was one of the most powerful, most explosive moments in the history of presidential debates. Ari Fleischer argues that in the end, perhaps the public might not care as much as do the media types who live and breathe this stuff all day. Updates forthcoming. 7:55pm PST : Telegraph UK says Newt helped himself in S.C., ” US election 2012: Newt Gingrich hits back at ‘open marriage’ allegations “: Newt Gingrich hit back at allegations of impropriety with a robust debate performance that, judging by a standing ovation it received a South Carolina audience, instantly improved his chances of winning the state’s primary on Saturday. 8:20pm PST : The Los Angeles Times has a report, ” Gingrich spars with CNN, then his GOP rivals in S.C. debate .” 8:45pm PST : And at New York Times , ” Gingrich Comes Under Attack on Topics Professional and Personal .”

-By Warner Todd Huston President Obama and his various quislings and underlings still cannot bring themselves to say that the USA is under attack by radical Islamists.

What a shocker, McDonald’s is under attack AGAIN. This time it’s because of the evil preservatives they put in their food. Look at the slide show – six months go by and it’s almost the same. What a horrible feature, I bet Ethiopians are so glad they don’t have that technology! Maybe I am blindly defending McDonald’s because I love their food (I could do the Super Size Me challenge and not even flinch) but what is the big deal? Sounds to me like the preservatives are just doing their job. To answer the question posed by the Blaze – the free market has already spoken in regards to preservatives: they LOVE them.
