How The Post Got Its Grove Back

July 1, 2007 at 9:48 am

Fascinating to see Lloyd Grove’s byline back in the Washington Post. Today he takes on — skewers? — Newt Gingrich, who’s “sounding less and less like a future candidate and more and more like a guy who can’t stop reaching under the sneeze-guard and loading his plate with tasty morsels from the all-you-can-eat intellectual buffet.”

Grove captures all of Gingrich’s big ideas about America, such as:

  • “If, in that process, I become president — that’s fine.”
  • “I don’t have to be president. I’d be willing to be president.”
  • “I’d forgotten how big a tourist attraction I am.”

Bold ideas for bold times, indeed.
