Gingrich Finally Gets It

Back when Bush was in office, the Republicans tried to silence criticism of his disastrous foreign policy by claiming that "politics should stop at the water's edge." The claim that foreign policy should somehow be exempt from criticism was sheer idiocy, of course, and a particularly slimy form of political gamesmanship, challenging the patriotism and good judgment of anyone who disagreed with the President.

I am thrilled, however, to see that Newt Gingrich has somehow recognized the error of his ways, and, in 2009, feels free to voice his attacks on the foreign policy of a sitting President. Personally, I happily accept his implied apology for his unjustified and unjustifiable attacks on my patriotism.
