John Kass for The Chicago Tribune here doesn't want a bully in the bully pulpit:
The reporter asked the right question, but blinked and gulped anyway, clear signals that he didn't want any more. This inflamed the bully in Newt, and he bore down on his victim as a frog to a fly, the tongue a deadly bludgeon on national television.
The prospect of four years of Newt crucifying the press on a daily basis is just too much for some people to take.
