First, I must confess my deep embarrassment. In a comment yesterday, I mistakenly suggested that Newt Gingrich was channeling Sylvester, he of “Thuffering Thuccotash!” fame, when he said “despicable.”

Obviously, I meant Daffy Duck, who does a much better job of representing the former Speaker’s demeanor and attitude.

I hate it when I get pop culture references wrong.

Forgive me, Sylvester.
