Fry an egg on Newt's face

Even backing off of the phrase "new racism," Newt's not embarrassed enough to make a sincere apology. He just chose a word that was too strong, no biggie.

Jeff Sessions is making a virtue of the tiny little climb-down Newt did manage by touting Newt's supposedly unusual willingness to admit error.

That's the GOP for you. Throw out the red meat for those in their constituency for whom white privilege isn't large enough, then whisper to the dogs to stop barking.
