And Then There Were Four

It looks like the common thread is this: The Flavor of the Week has just enough inertia to carry him through to the point where the voters get to know him a little better. For Newt, the past couple weeks have been punctuated with story after story in which the people who worked with him and knew him best elaborate on what an asshole he really was. And also, how he has turned his own record on its head in describing it.

Is Mitt peaking at the right time? Let's hope so. I agree with Jim: he looked Presidential last night.

If it wasn't obvious before that everything that comes out of Gingrich's mouth is calculated to pander to his audience of the moment...come on, he suddenly decides it's time to make the biggest investment in the space industry of all time when he just happens to be in Florida??

The man is a whore, in several senses of the word.

You mean he's a politician, acting like a .............POLITICIAN.

Oh my freaking god!

[Scooter]

The good ones are a tad more subtle about it.

Where the fuck do you find these nutbags? We put our insane in hospitals and then give them care in the community.

That is so 20th Century. Get into the future fellow kinda-English speakers.

(And before you answer, recognize that being an atheist is a de facto disqualification for public office in most of the U.S.).

Is this true? And if so... Why?

[Crackpot]

Because most atheists are insufferable assholes when it comes to the subject?

[Scooter]

Any more so than Christians who run for office?

[Crackpot]

They run the gamut. Many don't make a big deal of their faith (like our current closet muslim )

[Gob]

However, a national poll by Gallup shows the former Massachusetts governor trailing the former House Speaker by 8%

Go that man!! Newt has the answer to the USA's problems; "we're $16.4 trillion in debt, let's build a base on the moon!!

[Grim Reaper]

Pretty much every single Presidential nominee has made some sort of deal about their faith. Mr. Gingrich and Mr. Romney were even talking about where Fidel Castro's soul would wind up when he eventually dies.

[Gob]

We have an unmarried female atheist as our Prime Minister....

[Sean]

Because most atheists are insufferable assholes when it comes to the subject?

And this makes them different to religious people somehow?

[loCAtek]

We have an unmarried female atheist as our Prime Minister....

...by default.

[Sean]

Default?

[Gob]

Wow! What an in-depth, astute and meaningful political advert!

[Scooter]

Default?

Another one of those cryptic comments that cannot be answered without her claiming that she meant something completely different from the way it was interpreted. A tactic she copied from her bff Steve.

[Gob]

Let's not let the silly bitch derail this one guys.

That ad crosses the line, IMHO. Not because Romney shouldn't remind folks about Gingrich's past, but because it unfairly uses Brokaw footage as though he's endorsing Mitt. In Florida, where the aging population largely revere Brokaw for his book & various specials on the WWII generation. If Brokaw wants it pulled (and he does), Mitt should be gracious & pull it, regardless of legal niceties.
