Leave it to Newt Gingrich to take a dump over his entire party and the whole conservative movement in his unhinged efforts to find some way, any way, to fulfill what he sees (delusionally) as his destiny of being a world-historical figure. I have no idea what the latest bizarre political calculation it is that he thinks he is making, but it's absolutely idiotic politically, it's horribly wrong philosophically, and it give solace and succor to President Obama by undercutting the argument (an absolutely valid argument at that) that the individual mandate to buy health insurance is impractical, immoral, and unconstitutional.
So what has me exercised? Gingrich today strongly endorsed the individual mandate, absurdly (and meanly) blasted Paul Ryan's Medicare plan as "right-wing social engineering," and otherwise made an absolute jackanapes of himself.

Throw toilet paper at him. That’s the best way to clean an a$$hole, isn’t it?
Don’t be satisfied by seeing him low in the polls. If he’s in the race, he’s got a chance to win. Remember how much we hated McCain in 2007? He won.
I’m glad he goofed up early. We need to get him out of the race ASAP.
That’s pretty bad coming from Noonan because she frequents the same Washington circuit as Newt.
Yep. And their (liberal) political views aside, McCain is even more personally unlikeable than Newt. An old, angry, unlikeable liberal won the last GOP nomination. That's how far the party has fallen. So yeah, don't discount Gingrich.
I agree he is finished. All he will do is muck up the primary now.
McCain won because he was the most famous.
Gingrich is currently the most famous of the declared candidates (Palin is 12% more famous than Gingrich).
I’ll take Gingrich over Romney any day.
Romney get lost, please.
WOW, I think she’s an alien. SCARY!
Besides the same bug eyed stare that Calista has, I don't see here relevance.
Newt and the Lady from the White Owl ad?
“I’ll take Gingrich over Romney any day.
Romney get lost, please.”
I think they both should get lost. Lord help us if it come down to choosing between the two of them.
The original, one and only, runaway bride. Have you just landed from another planet, doc?
Good grief!!! I wonder how many face lifts Callista has had? That’s just plain scary.

OK. The light haired lady with the dark roots is Newt’s latest wife, but who is the dark headed lady with that same “deer in headlights” look?
