Newt Gingrich: Professional Presidential Considerer (sic)

http://www.freesqueeze.net/newty.htm

Newt Gingrich is an old college history professor who made a big splash in Washington and resigned abruptly after the GOP lost 5 house seats when he was speaker. He's a quitter. Left his first wife in such dire financial straights her church had to raise money to help support her. He's a quitter. Had a side woman before dumping his second wife while he was making a name for himself by flogging Bill Clinton for having an affair (just like him). He's a hypocrite...and a quitter.

Lately he's been selling a lot of books by considering running for president, again. He never runs, mind you...just considers it. He did this playing-possum thing through the last election and it looks like he's running the same con for 2012. I saw him interviewed recently and he almost winked when asked about running for president saying he had three criteria he would consider before agreeing to run: (1) if he has a plan to save America, (2) if he is convinced that he has a realistic chance, (3) and finally if he gets the go ahead from his wife and family, including grand-children (I wonder if any of these grand-children are related to those children once fed by the rejected wife's church?) This is an interesting list. I can only assume that ol' Newt may be able to "save America" but one dissenting vote from a grand-child could doom us all.

But no...he's selling a book. The list is amazing, this guy's name appears on all sorts of books. Most of them have a co-author that I've never heard of that does not tease the media with presidential considerations. Could this be a partnership where one writes and another considers a running for office? Will the pundits ever catch on that this guy is only about hawking books?

2. Newt, Another Loser
I cannot understand why the Republicans want to recycle this loser. It would be like us bringing back that ultra-loser, John Kerry. Once they lose, they need to sit down and shut up and quit getting in the way of real debate and the emergence of real winners.

3. Are they?
I don't see any party officials pushing Newt. It's mostly Newt pushing Newt and Pat Buchanan for some reason I can't fathom.
