It's funny BD. The man can *play* the Repub *base* (and the media quite frankly) all day long. As he said "It doesn't matter what I do. It only matters what I say." "21 Days Till Iowa: Watching the Lincoln-Douglas Debacle" Silly me. I’d been hoping for a real, substantive debate on foreign policy issues between Jon Huntsman and Newt Gingrich on Monday. The format was capacious; there were no silly gotcha questions–just mutually agreed upon topics for discussion. It was similar to the way Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas debated the most profound topic in the history of the republic, slavery in 1858. But what what we got instead was a sham, a 90-minute joint press confernce. What we got was, with certain admirable exceptions, the APPEARANCE of substance. And, more often than not when Gingrich was speaking, what we got was dangerous nonsense passed off as considered thought. A waste of time? No. We learned a lot about Gingrich’s depth of knowledge on foreign policy. It is kiddie-pool deep.

HAH. Now ole Newt is seeking "forgiveness"...(rolling my eyes). Yeah. Right..lol Meanwhile, darn near the entire GOP *establishment is in FULL blown panic as Mr. "it doesn't matter what I do. It only matters what I say" inches ever closer to snatching the GOP's top prize right out of Mitt's "inevitable" hands_with a LOT of help from the GOP's *base* (talibangelicals who NOW, amazingly, COULDN'T care less about Newt's dirt..AND...teajihadists who NOW, amazingly, COULDN'T care less about Newt being a career politician AND corrupt lobbyist). Newt's their guy. A supposed *pitbull with a brain.* Why he's gonna "wipe the floor with Obama." And he's gonna "pull Obama's guts out and stomp em on the ground." Pray tell how can the Repub *base* believe such nonsense?! Anyway: Glenn Beck, Michael Savage (who just offered Newt $1 million dollars to drop out), Douthat, Rubin, Scarborough, Rubin, Krauthammer, et al...they're ALL on the verge of having a very public nervous breakdown. Honestly, I think Newt epitomizes ALL that is the G.O.P. In fact, they couldn't asked for a better standard-bearer and "Real Leader" to boot. They should all be really proud of themselves for helping to create the kind of environment for such a nightmare...Ooops I mean...thing to happen.
