So on November 9th, 2011 another Republican debate occurred in Michigan. This time, though, the moderator was not Anderson Cooper. There were three different moderators, each of which the names escape me. Surprisingly, I caught this one on television, although it was a total accident. I went to type in a channel, my fingers punched the wrong numbers, and the debate popped onscreen just as it was starting. How weird is that?
The environment at this debate was not combative as the last one was. The last one was full of chaos. This time the folks onstage almost seemed like a team, like they were bonded together. It was impressive. I have taken a closer look at a couple of candidates, but Newt Gingrich struck me as intolerant last night.
He scoffed at the moderators more than once, to the point where one of them was very irritated. For some reason, though, I really like that about Mr. Gingrich. He had kind of a "screw off" attitude, and he played by his own rules. I like that, too. Sometimes to pull yourself out of a really deep hole, a person has to change the rules for a while.
Check this out:
HeeHee! Here it is! Boy, she gets really annoyed as he play childishly coy with her!
Hmm. Here is some more juice on Gingrich's attitude, as I mentioned earlier, as reported and analyzed by The Washington Post. Funny, the comment I just made about my liking his haughtiness towards the moderators is outlined in the Post article. Very interesting.
This link will provide you with much detail about Newt's performance from November 9, 2011. If nothing else, I really encourage you to watch the video listed on the page, even if it is just to hear the first minute of the video. Newt is an impressive speaker. And he knows what he is talking about! He can make any of us think about the problems that are happening right now. It is not that he is necessarily right in everything he says, his comments just make a person think.
