Shouldn't that be "substance"? /you-had-*fun*-drunkblogging-the-SOTU-speech-tonight-didn't-you?

Cheers!

oopps, yes I did mean substance, and yes I had to do something to get me through the speech.

“Heterosexist” on a 4th grade poster?

My MacBook spell check doesn’t even flag that as a misspelling. GOOD GRIEF!

“Secret War” on the Military Channel was excellent again tonight. The episode was “The Real 007”, and it profiled a Yugoslavian double agent who may (was IMO) the inspiration for Ian Flemming (Flemming “observed” him).

It’s being replayed at 1:00 am, Eastern.

Highly recommended!

I wish one of the young TEA party rookies had given the response.

Enough with the “he did his time” and “it is his turn” Republicans.

Put our best and most energetic speakers forward.

>OMG!!! Every word out of his mouth is getting a standing ovation - clapping & cheers.
These morons must be removed from office & replaced ASAP!!!<

I’m pretty sure whoever he couldn’t buy off was threatened or blackmailed...

Everyone looks like they think he’s batshit crazy but there’s nothing they can do about it.

He says the same old stuff all the time. It was nothing but a canned stump speech.

He talked about new agencies and more oversight one hour and made noise about smaller more efficient government in the next.

He is insulting our intelligence and I don’t really think even half of these people clapping really believe anything he’s saying any more than we do.

No I haven’t heard the story, whatever it may be. So why don’t you tell us why we will all be hating Gingrich. Any viable republican candidate, so far, has been destroyed, one way or the other. Might as well finish the job.

Here's the story.

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

Furthermore. I have, personally, along with millions of other Americans, heard Brit Hume explain on live television, that his son shot himself when he was confronted by a police officer who pulled him over on a traffic violation and the son was in possession of illegal drugs.

I'm sure the program is archived somewhere.

THIS IS PURE, ENEMY-PLANTED B.S.

Leni,

Great job, right on the money. Do these idiots not get it, the America of our forefathers is gone if we have 4 more years of this socialist. One of the largest industries in America, health care will be under the control of the government. Every socialist/commie playbook ever written insists that government control of health care is an essential step in the conversion from a free enterprise system to a socialist one.

These guys are acting like it’s just another election, if they lose maybe they win in 2016. It’s incredible how they do not understand that the very existence of the America is hanging in the balance.

I ceased being emotionally invested in baseball, or any professional sport for that matter, when Walter O'Malley broke my adolescent heart and took the Bums to LA.

Saying that like Abraham Lincoln he believes that government should not attempt to do for people what they can do for themselves was the biggest lie of the night.

Supposedly, Sandy Hume and NY Congressman Bill Paxon were having an affair. Paxon was one of the ringleaders of the revolts against Gingrich and Dick Armey at the time. In February 1998, Hume killed himself, then a couple of days later Paxon resigned from his seat and left public life. The rumor was that Armey had threatened to out Hume, which led to Hume’s suicide and Paxon’s sudden resignation. Joe “Dead Intern in the Office” Scarborough is one who’s publicly made this accusation.

Recently, Paxon’s wife former Rep. Susan Molinari may have suggested to the Miami Herald that Newt was suspected of being involved in the threat to out Hume and her husband’s homosexual affair as well.

Those are the Cliff’s Notes.

Fine bunch of people we have running the country down there. What a sewer.

You are SO correct, FA.

The Establishment GOP sent Methusaleh out tonight to do the rebuttal battle with Goliath.....when a young, feisty David with a slingshot would have inspired the troops and left the Giant wounded.

Absolutely these people are desperate. They have been working for over 50 years to reshape America as a socialist state, where the government has control over the most essential things in our lives. They only need 4 more years.

If they feel Gingrich is going to stop them, they will kill him if they can. He needs to really be careful. Those threats are not empty. The media over the years has created a large group of people who loathe Gingrich, and a number of them are unbalanced.

I kid you not. I discovered it at her “Winter Concert”.

Public school is pure evil. I have to get her out of there.
