Why would you want to end his campaign? I'm sort of all hopey-changey about Obama ending it.

"The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding"

The literati have minions? Who knew? The Wonkerati are <i>way</i> behind the curve here.

What turns this fiasco into an uber-meta-fiasco is that what Newt said on Sunday, totally by mistake, was ... <i>the truth</i>. Naturally, this cannot have happened, so quoting it is retroactively declared a "falsehood". (One of those uniquely Republican occult powers. Don't ask how they got them.)

Having made this unexpected and fleeting appearance in GOP politics, the truth then rapidly faded from sight and memory.

"What I said on Sunday was not intended to be a factual statement."

That summarizes several of the "history" books Ole Newt claims to have written.

Reminds me of a sign I saw years ago:

"Marriages performed by the bartender May not be legal in all states."

This guy waffles more than Lou Sarah.

And as part of my continuing goal to end this asshat's campaign, I include another Newt quote recently published in Mother Jones:

"The left-wing Democrats will represent the party of total hedonism, total exhibitionism, total bizarreness, total weirdness, and the total right to cripple innocent people in the name of letting hooligans loose."

Keep talking Newt. All it means to me is more dirt to push into the grave of your candidacy.

Maybe he <i>is</i> one of Trump's investigators. A man with a Tiffany's debt that large may have to do all kinds of unsavory things to pay it off.

Serial adulterer, serial liar, serial asshole. Newt is very linear.

this is off topic, but Bashar al-Assad has <i>absolutely no chin</i> at all.

if he wants to be worthy of dominating the current news cycle, he should think about talking to bristol.

When you consider the way Repubicans routinely distort what Democrats have said, this is nothing short of divine justice.
