Newt Gingrich and the "National Security Rock" Metaphor
A C-SPAN clip of Newt Gingrich features him arguing that the lack of terrorist attacks since 9/11 is proof of the Bush administration's success. The hosts mock this logic using the "national security rock" metaphor, comparing it to a pet rock that supposedly prevents colds. They also discuss the difficulty of finding critical information about Gingrich's past on Google, suggesting the results have been "washed."
