We have another one.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was demanding strong action against Libya. “Additional U.S. and international measures should include the establishment and enforcement of a no-fly zone,” she said on Feb. 26. But the day the bombing started, March 19, she pulled a complete 180 and declared that “the case has not been made for me to be satisfied that this is the right move for the United States at this time.”

Any other Newts out there? Let us know.
