Remember earlier this year when civil discourse was en vogue in the wake of Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ shooting in Tucson? That theme has eroded somewhat over the past several months.
On Thursday’s “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, Mika Brzezinski asked her co-host Mike Barnicle if former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich’s run would “reignite hope” for the Republican Party. And that led Barnicle, the once-accused plagiarist who resigned his position at the Boston Globe in the wake of those charges, to go off a diatribe about the former House Speaker.
“Well, they better hope not,” Barnicle said. “He is a delusional loser with an intellectual chip on his shoulder. That might be his biggest handicap in terms of the public. He has this habit, this way of prattling on about all of the ideas, all of the new ideas that he comes up with for our political system. And it’s because probably he went to like East Overshoe College or something and wants to prove that he’s smarter than anybody from the Northeast – from Harvard. He is just ridiculous. This is ridiculous. His candidacy is a joke.”

His 2nd and 3rd marriage sealed his fate.
I have no case.
If you choose to believe that Newt is a viable candidate, that's your problem.
So you make a fool of yourself for no good reason.... fine.
If you choose to believe that Newt is a viable candidate, that's your problem.
As noted above, I think Barnicle was exactly correct. So you have even less of a case, if that's possible.
I was merely noting that you're acting like an idiot, and I suggested that it does not make you look good.
Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to give me the benefit of your whatever.
The multiple marriages are not a dealbreaker. (glass houses and all that)
We just have too many people who know how to walk on water when it comes to the own personal purity.
Just shows what a loser Barnicle is!!!
Barnicle projecting again?
That picture and the Scozzafava incident in NY seal his fate.
Now pay attention.
Newt is a limp-wristed RINO.
Gingrich Feels the Heat for Appearing in Global Warming Ad With Pelosi
Guess where he stands on cap-and-tax?
We might as well vote for Obama.
The most depressing thing that has happened to me today is that I realise that I agree with Mike Barnicle about something.
MSNBC and its reporters certainly knows all about being a “delusional loser”. Isn’t that why they are in the lean forward position?
