This amuses me:
Stephen Colbert praised Newt Gingrich last night for being consistently against President Obama on Libya, even though that meant changing his own opinion.
Colbert first pointed to Gingrich's remarks on March 7 when he said the U.S. should immediately institute a no-fly over Libya and remove Muammar Qaddafi from power. "Do it, get it over with," Gingrich said at the time.
"Incidentally, 'Do it, get it over with,' is also the e-mail that Newt sends to his divorce lawyer every three years," Colbert said.
"Which, of course, is due to his longstanding open-fly zone," he added.
But two weeks later, when American and allied forces began a joint assault on Libya, Gingrich started singing a different tune, saying the U.S. should not have intervened. Colbert hailed that seeming flip-flop as proof of Gingrich's strong leadership skills.
"Leadership is not about bombing or not bombing," Colbert said. "Leadership is about being consistently against whatever Obama does."
