I eagerly await Newt Gingrich’s announcement that he is forming an exploratory committee to run for president. His timing is perfect. As we approach a government shutdown orchestrated by uncompromising Republican radicals, the time is ripe for Newt 2.0.
And, the best part is that we can all agree that 2012 will be a WTF election year.
During the past five years, Gingrich has raised about $52 million for his tax-exempt political committee, including $28.2 million during 2009 and 2010, according to a Center for Responsive Politics analysis. During the 2008 election cycle, the group raked in $22.7 million.
Gingrich’s committee’s name is American Solutions for Winning the Future. The group’s name shares a meme with Gingrich’s 2005 book, Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America. (Since the 2011 State of the Union address last month, President Barack Obama has also latched onto the slogan “win the future” as a catchphrase.)
I cannot wait.
Can Newt lock-up the anti-Sharia vote?

Oh yeah? Well I am hereby announcing that I will consider revealing soon whether or not I am pondering the idea of forming a committee to estimate the viability of an exploratory committee for MY run for president.
It will be called the people’s united assembly of leveraging political doublespeak and nospeak with the intention of creating a facade of a platform shrouded in generalities to make people feel good about voting for me while obscuring my actual beliefs and motives.
Donations will have to wait until I can convince the internet to allow longer email addresses.
Suck it Newt!
can I be your Minister of Propaganda?
This wouldn’t be a normal campaign, Booman. We won’t be having any of the traditional posts. I think I’d rather have you be my ninja assassin of propaganda – essentially your job would be illustrating and publicizing the ridiculous lies my opponents spew, mocking them in the process (as you see fit).
…but with nunchucks, right?
Yeah, go for it ej! Here’s your slogan, catchphrase, etc:
NUCK FEWT!
