Gingrich: The most persecuted man in America? (Jen Rubin unloads on Gingrich, Palin, Cain, Perry...)

...He whined that the debate audience wouldn’t be able to cheer him. He then grumped that audience was stacked against him when it didn’t cheer him. He spends endless hours complaining about Mitt Romney’s ads and debate triumph — lies, lies, all lies, he tells us. His spokesperson R.C. Hammond, like his boss, labels opponents “liars.” Gingrich complains that he failed in his debate because his principal opponent — you guessed it — was telling untruths. (Not a very good debater then, is he?) He says that he’ll trail President Obama demanding his Lincoln-Douglas-style debate, but his campaign flunky freaks out when a Romney surrogate quietly stands in the back of Gingrich events quietly observing the opposition.

When Gingrich experiences the normal rough and tumble of a campaign, Sarah Palin (another perpetual mainstream media exploiter) claims that the attacks are “Stalinesque.” From her house she might see Russia, but her understanding of Stalin is nonexistent; Stalin, of course, prevented free elections and the robust expression of free speech.

But in Gingrich’s book he is ever the persecuted one. I suppose Reagan chronicler Peggy Noonan is also in on the “plot” when she confirms that during the 1990s “he concluded the growth area within the party was a critique of Reaganism from the right, and sometimes the left. So that’s where he was. . . .

Judge him by the quality of the company he keeps (e.g., Palin, Herman Cain, Cunningham, Texas Gov. Rick Perry) and the critics he attracts. Gingrich has divided the party between the kids and grown-ups, the embarrassing and the presentable, the preposterous and the sober, the bomb-throwers and the policy wonks.

If the Communists want to run against Gingrich because he’s so easily beatable, why are they always fighting for Romney?

Oh NOOOOO....! Romney has NOT been lying about Newt, Rubin! That’s why he’s too cowardly to appear on Mark Levin’s radio show to explain himself over why he is happy to call Newt’s resignation a “disgrace”. That’s right, Milt’s a slimy coward. And if I have to vote for the bum in November, he’ll still be a dirtbag. Bob

C'mon Rubin . . . it's politics.

Suck it up, Cupcake, and take your pity party down the street.
