Fighting self-pity with admiration

Sometime I can't watch the news or think about politics at all. It exhausts and depresses me. Oddly, at times, it does the exact opposite. Today is the latter. This little video is why I'll be voting for Newt in 2012 (should he run of course). He doesn't panic, isn't histrionic or mean-spirited and is very focused and yet sort of cool at the same time. No BS here. From his assertion that "this is a very shallow administration," to "the fight over whether or not politicians should dump debt on you," he just calls 'em like he sees 'em. Brave and coherent. I like that.
