Who will be the Republican Nominee for President (post Cain)

[Ideologue]

I admit, I have a soft spot for Gingrich.  Yeah, he's an arrogant prick, but he's an intelligent arrogant prick.  He's more an idea man, a wonk.  While I disagree with much of what he says, and he has a tendency toward low blows and cheap tricks I still respect his intellect.  His biggest weakness is that he's an asshole.  And everyone who knows him thinks that, so it's hard for him to build consensus and the like.  I am reminded of the statement about FDR: That he had "a second-rate intellect but a first-rate temperament".  This made him an excellent president.  Gingrich is the opposite.

So, you're saying he's Al Gore with a mean streak.

No, he's more like what Al Gore would be if Gore was actually as smart as he thinks he is.

That said, I don't think Gingrich really has a first-rate intellect--I don't think that any current or recent major American political figure has.  Gingrich has a second-rate intellect, but about a fourth-rate temperment.  Gore has about a third-rate temperment and a fourth-rate intellect--which still makes him smarter than most political figures.

OK, Brainiac 5.

Hey, Has anyone seen Siege for awhile?  I haven't seen him since Seedy temp banned him a little while ago.

[DGuller]

Jesus, Seedy really likes to drive away the cream of the crop, doesn't he?  First bmolsson, now Siege.

Oh, please.  He was unbanned before he even finished sleeping off his drunk.

[Eddie Teach]

I wonder if Bmo's found #3 yet.

#3 stab wound?  Isn't one enough?

Don't walk away from your greatest triumph.  I'd have given you the grumbler point for that if I hadn't already awarded it.

[Razgovory]

It's possible that Bmol posted some of the most incisive and intelligent comments on this board made by anyone here.  Unfortunately nobody could make heads or tails of what the hell he was saying.  It was like when you used Babelfish to translated something From English to French to German to Russian to Spanish and finally English again.

Bmo made some good posts. Some of them were garbled if you chose to read them uncharitably, but almost everything he posted made sense.

[Admiral Yi]

Not that much more garbled than an average post from Hillary. 

The problem was that Stitch was miserable at expressing irony.

Do I have a fun nickname?  I'm sure I do, but I forget.

He did, actually.

I know mine was "Apostate Boy", but it seems like we're pretty past that now.
