From CNN’s Reliable Sources : KURTZ: But speaking of semantics, let’s look at Newt Gingrich, what he said a couple of weeks ago, and what he says now about a U.S. military action in Libya. Now, this has gotten some traction on cable and on the Web. I haven’t seen any newspapers stories about it. Here’s a guy who’s gearing up to run for president. Why not more attention to what you would have to call a flip- flop? PRESS: I think there should be a lot of attention to this. And frankly, I think it has maybe destroyed Newt’s chances of being taken seriously as a presidential candidate. KURTZ: Destroyed his chances? PRESS: Seriously… Yes, right. Early on, to make a mistake like this so publicly, I think is a fatal flaw. And it shows him as just somebody who’s — he’s for it if Obama is against it. He’s against it if Obama’s for it. RUBIN: And I think this does revive the concerns about Newt, which is that he’s unpredictable, that he’s sort of in every pie and on every side simultaneously. KURTZ: I like politicians who unpredictable, but I don’t think that they should be doing a 180 within two weeks, yes.
