I must agree with you, Chaplain. Newt is nothing to sneeze at.
Were I the President, I'd want him in my cabinet.
Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!

Moments after being introduced by Face the Nation host Bob Schiiffer as a "conservative" columnist, the Washington Post's Kathleen Parker on Sunday referred to Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich as a "misanthrope" - aka a mankind hater (video follows with transcript and commentary):
BOB SCHIEFFER, HOST: And we're back now with our panel. Kathleen Parker, of course, a columnist for the Washington Post who writes kind of from the conservative side, I would say. Dee Dee Myers, President Clinton's press secretary, National Journal's Major Garrett who moderated the debate last night along with our own Scott Pelley. And our CBS News political director just named to that post yesterday John Dickerson. John, congratulations.
Despite the absurdity of calling Parker a conservative - she last year admitted that she won the Pulitzer Prize for being a conservative basher - wasn't it fascinating how the political leaning of none of the other panelists - accurate or not! - was identified?
Such is typically the case on these Sunday shows.
Funnier still, when the subject of Gingrich arose, Parker took a swipe that was anything but conservative:
BOB SCHIEFFER: Kathleen, do you see Gingrich now being the alternative to Romney, various ones that have been put in that position and have risen and then fallen. Where-- where do you see Gingrich now?KATHLEEN PARKER: Well, he's-- he's certainly the flavor of the week. And-- and Newt Gingrich does very, very well in debates. You know, he's not really much of a campaigner. In fact, he's been described as sort of a misanthrope. That would be sort of interesting wouldn't it to have a misanthropic President.
For those unfamiliar with the term, a misanthrope is someone that hates mankind.
And that's the so-called conservative columnist CBS News brought on to discuss the Republican presidential race.
Might as well have an Obama adviser there instead.
At least then the viewer would know where her sympathies truly lied.
I don’t even like Newt but this is just stupid to a new level. With all of the criticisms one could make of Newt why bother to go so far out into deep space?
Kathleen Parker, does anyone really care what she writes anymore?
Watch Newt Gingrich’s “God in America” series.
It is exceptional, and it clearly demonstrates his conservative, God-believing position on American exceptionalism.
Newt Gingrich is Churchill. He is nothing like Rove. Rove picks at things that interest him.
Newt Gingrich absorbs and utilizes them. His is the best political mind in America in our day.
I haven’t watched a Sunday morning talk show in many years. Had no idea Dee Dee Myers is still in the political loop
She doesn’t do that because the Wash Post needs its house token “conservative”. The NY Times has one that pretends to be conservative too. They pretend it makes them unbiased media outlets.
Parker earned the undying love of the leftist MSM for her brutal attacks on Sarah Palin and other female conservative candidates in 2008 and 2010.
Bachman’s been slammed from the get-go. Palin was mobbed by the media too. So was (and is) Cain. Now Newt. Perry has done his own damage but the media hit him as well.
When are they gonna hit Romney? Or is that was this is all about ... getting Romney to the top? Hmmmmmmm......
BTW it’s none of my business how Newt spends his money or who he associates with. Should he survive the MSM ‘rope-a-dope’ and win the nomination he has my vote.
He doesn’t suffer fools gladly, most particularly the media - who thinks of themselves as ‘all mankind.’
But he sure does love our country - and he and Calista are Christians....both things of which are absent in the WH right now.
a list of his books - and Callista’s new children’s book - to introduce them, from the get-go, to our history - something they won’t get it school.
Do you have link - or site?
If people would realize how big media comes up with stories. They get in a room and one person whispers a rumor into the ear of the person next to them. Then without any clarification that person repeats the rumor to the person sitting next to them. They continue this process around the room. When it gets to the end of the chain that's the story they go with. Unfortunately todays 'educated' are easy to fool. Obama did it with a little help from his media friends.
re: Watch Newt Gingrich’s “God in America” series.
I found this clip - but is there on online link for the whole thing?

I’ve been calling these people Vichy-cons since December 2008.
Three or four years ago Parker also said Hillary was "well-qualified to be president."
Well, it looks like I’m in good company... for I hate everybody in general, too.
Nothing personal, Newt... but I hate you, too.
:-P
misanthrope???
LOL, ROTFLMAO!
That would be PETA nuts & every flavor of the EPA environazi loons who would have us squatting in caves - provided we aren’t infringing on the space of the bears, and double provided that no wood fire disturbs mother Earth
I know and that was the reason Townhall.com got rid of her
I must agree with you, Chaplain. Newt is nothing to sneeze at.

Amen
I’ve been referring to Washington as Vichy on the Potomac since the Clinton years...
Did you really mean house for this person?
