He is definitely going for the Romney votes.

And he is getting all the free press he wants. By Memrial Day, the NY Times is going to name Newt Man Of The Year.

I guess he figures it’s better to burn out than to fade away.

Sounds like Karl Rove is advising Newt these days.

Gingrich is a somewhat amusing sideshow in this presidential race.

Could be a Hussein/Gingrich ticket.

Gingrich has a problem of people being tired of hearing his know-it-all, ‘let my superior intellect and talking skills persuade you as I masterfully use my command of the English language and human psychology to bring it down to terms that you can understand at your everyman level’, lecturing voice.

Almost 30 years of that leaves not caring what he is going to say, we just want to escape him.

Nute apparently doesn’t realize that the fork has been deeply thrust into the toast.

Newt suggesting that some illegal immigrants living in the United States “may have earned the right to become legal.”


Hmmm....

I agree.

That path is for the illegal to go back to his home country and file the necessary immigration paperwork with the US embassy located therein.

He should write a new book titled How to Implode Your Own Campaign Before It Even Begins.

It's embarrassing, and I did used to respect Newt, at least on the issues he was talking about in 2008. Now, he has to crawl back to TV and radio shows, hat in hand, to try and explain his recent comments. He should just pull an Obama, and act like a petulant child while Bibi lectures you on reality, which is what happened today in DC.

Gingrich is not running for potus. He is angling for an appointment at the Kennedy School of Government along with the rest of the also-rans and never-was's.

Wow, just when you thought Newt couldn’t sink any lower he shoots himself in the foot yet again. At this point he’s becoming a total joke.
