"The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding...A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught. But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich, once again ready to lead those who won't be intimidated by the political elite."
— Gingrich press secretary Rick Tyler, on media criticism of the former House Speaker

I saw clips of The Newt on Meet The Press, and he thoroughly stuck his foot in it re: the rest of the RNC. It wasn't a trick question, it was quite straightforward and he answered it truthfully, but I don't think American politics have room anymore for truth. And then The Newt went back on the same show the following week! What was that phrase about insanity and doing the same thing over again?

I love the "won't be intimidated by the political elite" when they're mostly talking about the RNC.

I think it's time for "Stick a fork in him, he's done."

Live. Newt. Girls.

After that, I don't think he had a serious chance. But yes, after he sinned gravely by telling the truth, there was no hope left for him.
