Btw, there is a theory that rather than trying to win the GOP nom, Newt is jockeying to fill the GOP maverick media darling role that McCain had in 2000.  Not sure I totally buy it, but I can't think of any other reason why he'd announce his candidacy & then proceed to undermine what small chance he had of getting the nom.

Do you really think it's more probable that Gingrich is a Machiavellian mastermind and not a guy who runs his mouth?

At this point I really don't know how to read him.

I would have thought that, after all your time here, it would be easy to read Newt.  He is the dramatic hero of his life, and all the issues he faces are larger than life and profound.  He is a smart guy but lacks balance, perspective, and gravitas.

This sort of criminality is extremely dangerous.  The fag should be hanged.
While it is true that certain types of glitter can cut, I doubt he was in any real danger.
It's the desensitizing effect that's the problem.  By making it acceptable for subhumans to strike out at their betters, it emboldens them.  If the fag in question were a dog biting a man he would be put down without question, and that's what needs to happen here.  Otherwise, next time it'll be anthrax, or explosives, or AIDS.

Oh please, as far as subhumans go, a guy marrying a fat chick so her father can employ him is lower than a faggot.

Doubtful.  Is the guy in question out dumping glitter on people?  :yeahright:

Newt's wife's father employs him?  I would think he was self-employed.

Oh, you are so sweet!

You know what's sweet?  The Cards got back into 1st place this afternoon when the Reds lost to the Pirates, then took sole possession with a .5 game lead after they themselves beat the Astros later in the afternoon.  Takes some of the sting out of getting swept by the Reds here last weekend.

The Machine hasn't done so well this year.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Season is still young & he's had a decent May.  I can't imagine him not finishing the season with a .300 average and at least 35 home runs.

What was the gist of his criticism of Ryan?

He said right-wing social engineering is as bad as left-wing social engineering.

See, stuff like that is what I like about Gringrich.  But Raz is right--even among conservatives, Gringrich at his height was more respected than liked.  And you're win more elections by being liked.

Even the Unabomber had a lucid thought once in a while.  Unfortunately, most of it was just a lot of reactionary nonsense.  Just like Newt.  He's a moron.

Incidentally, I just read a news story that the feds are investigating the possibility that the Unabomber was also the guy who put cyanide in Tylenol bottles back in 1982.

Gingrich's problem was that he never was able to transition from bomb throwing backbencher to party leader and statesmen.  Being a partisan asshole is okay for a Minority Whip.  Doing it when you are Speaker of the House people might begin to think your serious.

As much as I'm for Mitch Daniels's proposed truce on social issues, stunts like this "agree with me or I'll dump glitter on you" one make it more difficult for me.

All the vast sympathy you had for gay activists slowly draining away :(

Marty would make me a homophobe if he really was gay.  As it is, I just have something against foot fetishists.

They are, indeed, dangerous degenerates.

I'd prefer to just ignore them, of course.
