Which Newt Gingrich would show up? That was the question on most people’s minds — OK, mine — as we waited for him to appear at a town hall event at St. Anselm College’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics Wednesday evening.

Would it be the calm, above-the-fray political sage that Gingrich has lately tried to will himself into being? Or the partisan bomb-thrower of yore that we all know from the 1990s?

After his fourth-place finish in Iowa the night before and his subsequent concession speech/declaration of war on Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, my own expectation was on the latter. Gingrich had tried niceness and it just didn’t seem to suit him.

you could be right.

We mustn’t forget abuot how that nice, non-partisan Barack Obama just wants to pass good liberal legislation, but those wascally partisan Tea Partiers in Congress keep blocking him.

There is no discernible difference between the mainstream media and the Mittstream Media. That is, until Mittney gets the nomination, the honeymoon abruptly ends, and the American public is introduced to the slimy, slippery, sneaky, secretive, irritable, dishonest, untrustworthy, distant, detached, Howard Hughes-like, power-mad Wall Street robber baron who has lorded over the lower classes for his whole life from the perspective of an elitist’s ivory tower and who practices that peculiar, exotic and disturbing Mormon religion which commands him to spread it to you and your children if he can get the power to do so.
