Discussion on the Sunday talk shows centered on the budget and the looming debt ceiling, with House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) on CNN’s State of the Union and House Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) on CBS’s Face the Nation. Domestic energy production and the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East also were addressed.

Gingrich: Paul Ryan' s plan is "right-wing social engineering," goes too far

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R) explained that he felt compelled to run for president because "to not seek to help the country to fix the problems we have would have been a failure of citizenship on my part."

Indeed, and this is a prerequisite for his viciousness of the present, attacking the very contract of AMerica he premeditatively thrusted to fool us. His objects of protection, he actualy covets, like an ill bred pseudocatholic mafia idiot little brother, who screams about protecting his mother when he just wants to screw her in the first place, the typical Oedipian RINO cop sucker.

I guess Callista is worried about being shunned by the DC doyens. It will never work. My guess is that he is already toast.
