For what it’s worth, Newt Gingrich makes a habit of using a peroration at the end of a typical speech.

He speaks as though he were delivering a paper, with opening paragraphs outlining his topic, and a summing up at the end to recapitulate and re-emphasize.

Perhaps he could have no greater aspiration than to be known as America’s Speaker.

VDH has determined that Obams has figured out that the less perorating the better he does in the polls.

A for you. But Newt does it without the TOTUS, so he's not just the first reader.

Ron Paul’s speech was verbose and hard to follow but he seemed to indicate that the country was deficient in election spoilers and that our Perot ration needed to be increased.

With each boring Barack peroration
It seems he gets paid per oration
Plus a dollar per lie
That should help him get by
My bile needs great expectorations

The jagoff’s still planning another pre-Super Bowl interview to be televised during the pregame.

Cause everything has to be about him.

Hoy es dia de la candelaria.

I can’t figure out why they have a minor holiday named after one of the Pirates pitchers from the 70s.

Romney's Perorations now include praise for the Welfare State, and it will be his undoing.
