Sometimes, though, I wish she’d stop talking about two sentences before she does.

That's my only hang up right now. I hope someone from her camp is reading this too. If she thinks the thought is over, reel that mouth in!!! It tends to go from time to time.

Other than that, hope I can vote for her in 2012.

I look forward to President Palin appointing Newt as Secretary of State.

This actually helps Palin. To the degree that Gingrich gets support, it is going to come out of the hides of Romney and Pawlenty.

He also showed during the Scozzafava kerfuffle that he doesn’t have the political intuition to deal with the feel of the electorate. He held on to Scozzy and finally caved when it did no good. He doesn’t even get points for sticking to an unpopular political principle. Politically, it would have been better for him had he flipped early instead of late.

I do not remember “hate” against Reagan. What I remember is they denigrated him as a mere actor, and not an intellect.
There never was an ongoing skit on Saturday Night Live making fun of him.

Newt has written some pretty entertaining novels lately, I think he should keep doing so.

"There’s “refute” and “repudiate”, but I’ve never heard “refutiate”."

That makes two of us. There are about 783 results on Google. 782 if we don't count your use.

Actually, they did one I remember, where he acted the amiable dunce in public, while behind the scenes he was shouting orders in half a dozen different languages and running the show like an evil genius. Then someone from the public would come in and he'd go back into the amiable dunce routine until they were safely hustled out of the room.

Pretty funny, I thought.

Poor memory. Doonesbury Reagan’s brain cartoon day after day in the newspapers (back when they mattered).

SNL is watched by 10-15 Million.
Tina Fey has much more name recognition than Doonesbury cartoon.
Doonesbury is read by may be 500,000.
No comparison.

Whatever else some might think about Newt he is politically savvy.

&&&
That he is, but he is also unprincipled. I’d stay home rather than vote for that hack.

Don't think Newt will make it and he has made more than a few mistakes; but he has learned it seems, from most of them.

That said; I love Sarah; but please, she has made some mistakes as well - and that is OK by me. . .looking for ' the perfect' is futile and will settle for 'close to'. . .As for denigrating all Repubs - save Sarah - believe it is simply a critical mistake and a biting off one's nose to spite the face it is attached to. And of course, folks...IMHO! So please, no panties in wad here.

Personally, think we have no room for that; nor the attitude that it is 'my way'or the highway; or to hell with it; and have America survive the trip. We face a bitter, unforgiving future, if we allow any semblance of this Administration to politically survive, to serve another term.

Everyone here needs to be looking for some new blood. Every thing else is part of the broken and corrupt system. And forget about Sarah too. She and McCain were together for a reason. They do have some things in common.

You are just making numbers up. Major daily newspapers in those days had circulations in the millions. Everyone read newspapers. Doonsebury was big back then. Were you alive then?

Wouldn't want Palin to fall over laughing and hurt herself.

You are correct. There was surely lot of fun made of President Reagan. But not a ON GOING WEEKLY SKIT like Tina Fey did week after week with very good ratings.
