As a parent, I learned that when a teenager is talking nonsense, it usually means they are basing their comments on having skin jn a game they don’t want you to know about. At its simplest, it means they are lying. But they may be lying for a reason unknown to you.
I think the same is going on with Coulter, et-al. I think they know or believe things we are not privy to, and end up taking a position that makes no sense to us.

Frankly, since they are obviously in a position to have information sources we don’t have, it’s a little scary.

Yours is an insightful post. I've always said, "When 2 + 2 = 5 or 7 you are missing one or three important pieces of information." Unfortunately much of what is happening today in Washington D.C. is more like 2 + 2 = 2.7 million.

“I think the same is going on with Coulter, et-al. I think they know or believe things we are not privy to, and end up taking a position that makes no sense to us.”

I believe the explanation for Ann's position is much simpler. Ann Coulter desperately wants to defeat Barrack Hussein Obama and, through the power of reason that a UM Law graduate and SCOTUS justice law clerk has at her disposal, has concluded that Mitt Romney is the best vessel through which to achieve that goal. She also seems to have come to the conclusion that addressing the economic problems this country faces is the most important piece of business before us; that among the candidates available to us Romney has the strongest bone fides in this regard; and that pragmatism and competency are more valuable attributes to a chief executive charged with accomplishing these objectives than perceived ideological purity. In service to these position she has presented column after column of coherent and well argued exegesis that no one on this board has so much as made an effort to address on point. Rather, they have responded with standard ad hominum attacks, accusing her of apostasy, selling out for money and fame secretly courting homosexuals for some reason. And of course there are the snide comments about her looks and her being a woman of a certain age. Believe me folks, Ann is winning this dust up, as in a battle of wits she comes fully armed.

I actually agree with you, the insiders seem to know something about Gingrich in particular that we don’t.

I suspect that Gingrich may have been diagnosed with something like Bio Polar disorder or something similar in the past which should have been confidential but has somehow leaked out to the insiders in DC and some of the elite media. I also suspect this very fact is what Nancy Pelosi keeps referring too. But no one can actually say that they know it for fear of a lawsuit.
