Yea....that 60 seconds may propel him to win South Carolina, and weathervanes like Ben don't have a clue as to why. It's not that they suddenly discovered Gingrich, ...shit he's been around longer than dirt. It's not that they think he's even electable, it's because figuratively speaking he sticks his boot right in the ass of these pampas, insulting , condescending liberal main stream media types. That alone is worthy of their vote. My only regret that the NY Times isn't sanctioning a debate !! I gotta admit when he schooled that asshole Scott Pelly about shoot to kill orders, I was cheering like I was at a Giants game. Well done Newt. Take no prisoners, these fuckers don't deserve it
Maybe Newt isn't screwed. There are too many twists and turns in this amazing reality show.

Wait, Wait....A Democracy Now review of the Republican Debate?? Let me get right to it.
I could have told you what it was going to say before I even hit play. Nothing to see here...2 liberal pinheads with the usual cast of characters...a liberal pundit, and a black guy with an axe to gring that sees a racist behind every tree. Let's cut to the angry black guy now and get his take........Yawn. Already been seen Ben. Nothing new here. Don't waste me time if this is all ya got.
Here's a useful rule of thumb Benny......the more you hear empty, baseless, redundant cries of racism, the more you know the internal polling of the Democrats is showing them Obama is falling further behind the generic Republican candidate....so by mid summer, we should be rockin' around the clock with cries of racism...what a fucking joke.
I think there is a problem with the Presidency at election time -on the one hand a President is part of the policy-making process, so his policy proposals must be analysed; on the other hand he also becomes Head of State -like our Queen, for example- and should have popular appeal to fuflil the functional requirements of a Head of State. Too much is made of the candidates popular appeal -their electability- even if most people -not necessarily the ones who actually vote- are not interested that much in policy, or just have one thing that concerns them.
Gingrich is the consummate politician -cold, analytical, incisive, with a tendency to think of ten ideas when one will do, he has no popular appeal beyond an amusing sarcasm when being questioned by people he considers to be his inferiors; and as far as I know he is not a serial philanderer, he was married to Wife no 1 for 18 years, for Wife no 2 for 18 years and frankly if women fall to their knees when he enters a room, I would expect it to be them falling over each other in the stampede to get away as fast as possible, or maybe he has some charm and charisma I don't notice.
Look, if the USA wants a serious debate on the policy options on domestic and foreign policy, it would make more sense for Gingrich and Ron Paul to be the focus of attention, as both are interesting to listen to on policy detail, and have strong views which would at least draw out the folly of voting Republican, whoever the candidate is.
I don't know whether Newt is schtupping a different gal every week or not. Don't really care. He does, however, seem to be frightened of the idea of taking care of a wife in sickness unto death. He dumped his first wife while she's in the hospital dying of cancer. He dumped his second wife, on the phone, shortly after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. A slow degenerative disease that can leave one seriously decapacitated for years. I really can't see Newt changing diapers and taking care of someone in that condition, and nor could Newt.
