I hope disgraced former Speaker Newt Gingrich enjoys his cruise in the Greek Isles because basically his entire staff has resigned in protest over it. I’m trying to think of a bigger disaster than Gingrich’s campaign, but I’m coming up blank. I guess, in retrospect, John Edwards has him beat. But, since Gingrich says he is soldiering on, there’s still time for him to do something that lands him in prison.
It’s nice to see reality treat Gingrich with the contempt that the media elite ought to treat him, but doesn’t.
What are the odds that his puffy, Pillsbury Dough Boy face will be on my tee-vee this weekend opining at length on serious matters while some our media “elite” stroke his ego by trying to prop up the facade of his crippled campaign?
I would say 50-50. How about you?
Whatever the odds, they’re better than they should be.

How was Edwards actual campaign a disaster? It’s what came after that was a disaster. As far as actual campaigns, I think Mr. “Noun, Verb, 9/11″‘s campaign was the biggest disaster.
Well, I said in retrospect. Edwards may be going to prison for how he ran his campaign. It’s hard to fuck up worse than that.
Odd though the only person who derived benefited from Edwards failure to close-up his campaign was Obama. Everyone, remember the pow-wow of H. Clinton, Obama visiting Edwards back in 2008. H. Clinton upset that Edwards was taking her votes from her base.
mmm wait for it, Trump’s revving up his engines to re-enter as an Independent.
And besides Gingrich has never one to quit when he’s entrenched in stupid, he’s making too much money.
The implications: Trump is revving up his engines to be a spoiler and drag down the GOP. Go for it, the Donald. Be the Ralph Nader of the rightwing.
Actually Perot (eccentric self-funded megalomaniac) is the better analogy, only without the, you know, appeal.
are everywhere, including on Newt’s campaign staff.
Who would have known? Perhaps he should have checked their birth certificates.
Well of course Newt is going to continue “running”. At some level.
Because where better to be trolling for wife #4 (or is it #5 now?). You don’t expect Newt to sit at home for the rest of his life, shacked up with the same woman, do you? Even if it is the White House. Priorities, people, priorities!
I’d bet that a year from now, we’d all see that that two week cruise was just “the long goodbye”, before Newt moves on.
