Fox’s Special Report has been including a center seat segment where the Republican candidates go on the program and are asked questions by the regular panel. I was watching on Nov. 7th when they announced that Mitt Romney—alone I believe—had declined their invitation to appear. Well so much for my sense that Romney belongs on the all surface no substance all star team.
So with that in my head I went on Twitter on the 8th and posted on Romney’s decision: “’Why does baloney reject the grinder’ reprised” which is a reference to a Bill Buckley comment that was made when he was asked why Robert Kennedy refused multiple invitations to appear on Firing Line. A little later my comment was retweeted by Jonah Goldberg who happens to follow me on Twitter.
So you’re asking is there a point to this? Well nothing as substantial as a point but I just finished reading Jonah Goldberg’s column on Newt Gingrich (worth a read by the way) which includes the following:
“In each debate, he keeps mentioning how he wants to challenge the president to as many Lincoln-Douglas-style debates as possible. And if the presidential baloney won’t march into the Gingrichian grinder? Well then, the grinder will come to the baloney”. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/283245/debates-newt-gingrich-s-real-target-obama-jonah-goldberg
