Sometimes I think our party needs to be put on suicide watch.
Newt just needs to go away. He never had a chance to begin with, and then he went and stepped on his wang. Stick a fork in him, he’s done.
Who you gonna believe: Newt, or your lyin’ ears?
Seems this cycle’s GOP donors will NOT ignore the perpetual Party elite backed betrayal of conservatives! Wouldn’t THAT be a delightful trend.

It was the phrase “right-wing social engineering” that effectively ended Gingrich’s prospects. Many people were no doubt wondering when Gingrich was going to denounce Republicans for supporting “right wing activist” judges. Oh well, at least Gingrich didn’t waste a lot of Republican dollars before he imploded. His candidacy was mercifully quick.
Its hard for me to believe that the Pelosi couch debacle didn’t turn off all conservatives to Newt forever. That they were going to throw him a fundraiser in the first place is just plain weird.
I heard Newt doing some backtracking... and the interview with Greta about his Tiffany’s tab.
Newt sounds like a lunatic.
There's no fool like an old fool.
Newt kicked himself in the ass before he even got started....Hang it up!
I heard Hannity defend his buddy Gingrich. A caller got through this week and railed on Newt. Hannity said...”I want all of the candidates to have an equal chance through debate blah, blah”. Very generic response. Gingrich, McCain and Rove are on all the time. It’s like Rino paradise.
The Republicans need a battle royale’ to sift the weak. Bring in as many as possible so the right can go through all the possibilities.
For better or worse, this Newt incident will probably join Ed Muskie crying in New Hampshire and George Romney being brainwashed on a trip to Vietnam as moments when well known presidential hopefuls imploded.

I think the GOP mastermind is trying to find both limits. We've seen one, and I shudder to think how far he'll pursue the other.
True Colors (shining through)...wasn’t that a song by Cindi Lauper?
So long, Newtie. Go back to the think tank and bide your time until the next wife-swap...
Before this page loaded and I could read your comment, I thought of the sarcastic post: “Newt sure is smart.” and you effectively beat me to it, but I can’t help myself. Damn.
He is a global warming nut, support farm subsidies (pandering Iowa) and opposes spending cuts. Oh, and he was cheating his wife.
Strong platform perhaps, but wrong party.
