Newt Gingrich is a stupid, scary dude.

[Hamlette]

Dismissing the GOP presidential field as a "pathetic" bunch of "pygmies," Newt Gingrich hinted Monday he might step in to beat Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

Gingrich mocked Republican presidential candidates for subjecting themselves to a May debate hosted by Chris Matthews of MSNBC's "Hardball."

"You're watching an utterly irrelevant, shallow television celebrity dominate everybody who claimed they want to lead the most powerful nation in the world," he said.

Asked by the Examiner if he was prepared to commit to a run, Gingrich said, "I'm perfectly happy to do what I do," he said. "Whether that leads to the presidency is the country's problem, not mine."

He talks about how if in mid October one of the GOP candidates is not (or no longer) a pygmie he'll "make a decision."

The arrogance is astonishing.

3. Stupid indeed, if he is the savior of the GOP, I guess he doesn't

want the pygmy vote nor their leaders endorsements. Come on newt jump in the race, I'd look forward to trashing your sorry ass in my little way.

4. Newt thinks HE could beat Hillary or Barak?

5. The bad thing is......

the neocons will rally around Newt. He would also probably
pull mad support from the fundies. I think he will run, have
thought it all along.

6. In Newt's defense

Newtie has admitted that global warming is a problem, and is taking global heat for it. I admit I admire him for that.

Oh, and I agree that the GOP presidential field is a pathetic bunch of pygmies.

We'll see how the country likes a guy who's even crazier than Cheney and Bush put together.

10. Hee Hee, will his smackdown of Tweety

get back to Mr. M? Let me know the next time Newtie's on Hardball.

Oh. and Newt, since your running and winning the Big Prize would be "the country's problem, not mine", I think we STILL have a way to stop your ass. Was that a Freudian slip or what? The Bulldog face is such a jerk!!!!

11. Newt and Norquist seperately feel they own the GOP conservative movement

With their establishment of the K Street Project, their "Family" group of xtian fundie crazies, and their powerful and cash rich PACs, they have led the GOP around by the short and curlies these last dozen years or so.

Always wise to keep one eye on these guys.
