It's really no problem if Newt wants to double down on the crazy. Sooner or later he has to face a general election looking like a mean old fart. Good luck to him with that.
Slick Newt...Now Newt says, "I suggested children could work" - the guy's a master at spinning...Newt's original comment was NOT "could work". Few would argue children having chores and rewarding them for completing same is good training for life (imo), but Newt's original comments about children working were NOT as benign as he now spins it!
