Whining, corrupt, draft-dodging slob compares his "plight" to Swift Boating of John Kerry in 2004

[Amerigo Vespucci]

The rapid fall of Newt Gingrich from front-runner to also-ran was put into motion, at least in part, by an unprecedented wave of negative advertisements run in Iowa in December by his opponents and their allied Super PACs.

The wave of ads left Gingrich complaining on Sunday that he had been "Romney-boated" and suggesting that his main rival would "buy the election if he could."

How much impact did the negative ads have? The answer is difficult to quantify, since news coverage that repeated and added validity to many of the attack lines helped cut Gingrich's support nationwide. But the sheer volume of attacks advertising aired against Gingrich is staggering.

An analysis shared with the The Huffington Post by Kantar Media's Campaign Media Analysis Group, a company that monitors all television advertising, found that nearly half of the political advertisements aired in Iowa since December 1 were anti-Gingrich.

Though he relentlessly pushes military spending and talks like a bigtime hawk, Gingrich avoided the Vietnam War through a combination of student and family deferments. (He married one of his teachers at age 19.)

1. he's also a victim of a Pearl Harbor

for not getting on the ballot in Virginia.

He's also like King David for cheating on his wives.

2. Mixed Feelings About Newt's Boating--Disgust Mixed With

I have mixed feelings concerning Newt Gingrich's self-comparison with Senator Kerry. I am disgusted with Newt Gingrich for DARING to compare himself with Massachusett's senior senator, mixed with schadenfreude regarding Gingrich's situation. I hope his campaign continues to swirl around the white porcelain bowl 'til it runs out of kinetic energy and submerges itself below the water line.
