If trophies were being awarded for pomposity in these debates, Newt Gingrich would have a sagging shelf full. Gingrich's endless snits over almost every single question he is asked represent an enormous waste of time. No wonder he's calling for three-hour Lincoln-Douglas-style debates -- his petulance demands a bigger platform than any cable news program can supply. If his poll numbers continue to grow, he can expect to gain additional air-time in the debates. Will it make him any less unpleasant? Doubtful.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
