2. I have to admit I am without a response. Wait. I made one
I really think that Newt running would be like a bolt of lightning hitting a cottage filled with cannibalistic, starving, man-eating cockroaches. this would be the best thing that could happen to the country.

for all the obvious reasons.

starting with - family values.

10. Yeah, don't you wonder what alternate universe Newt
lives in where his track record with women could be swept under the carpet? All the spin in the world can't change it. My own relatives vote with the "family values" crowd, and there's no way they would accept Newt. He's tainted.

But, hell, I hope he runs. It'll be good theatre.

5. I can't stand his dimples. I want to squash that chubby face of his.
Is that okay?

9. "if any GOP candidate has his ideas..."
What's the matter, doesn't he remember where he left them?

Or were they just so small and light that they got lost at a stag party and were never seen again?

11. don't sell him too short. He authored that contract thingie and
at his most powerful, he managed to get a majority into the house. BUt just like Mr. Termite, he started reading his own press releases and began to believe them.
(The reason why it took DeLay longer, is that he does not read as much, because it tires out his lips)

I suspect that this is an effort to grab $$$$$ for a test run. If there are no nibbles, he will claim victory on go back to his lame punditry on Faux.

12. Then he can finish up that contract on America, although
Smirky may beat him to the punch line.
