WOOT!

Well I know I’m sending money

Damn, you two are quick! Congrats!

Oh, yes, I’ve been laughing myself silly over this.

That same Washington Times article had this gem in it too:

But finances matter, he said, noting that the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance regulations have “rigged campaigns against middle-class candidates and in favor of the rich” and that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney “could write a check for $100 million if he wants to and has already written several large checks” for his GOP presidential-nomination campaign.

This is just going to be a blast watching these scumbags go after each other.
Just imagine the attack ads to come.
Glory be.

O please o please o please.

I have been laughing about this YouTube ever since I found it. hehehehehehe

Gingrich. Another family values kinda guy. I’m going into the kitchen. The lady wants my advice. On cooking supper.

Good post, Christy! What a joke! Newt couldn’t even hold the office he had, now he wants to go for a higher office? Oh, well, get on in, might as well, you’re as good as the rest of ‘em.

yeah newtie wait on my donation… its coming…….NEVER!!

I could almost hope he raises the money. It would be entertaining to watch which Repub candidate self destructed the quickest…

Oh Mah Gawd!

Having another dreadful workday (my stars better realign soon, dammit) and you just made up for all of it with this news.

Smiling so hard my face hurts.

This election thingy is getting to be fun

With friends like Newt Gingrich, who needs enemas?

It might be worth send this nitwit some money just for the entetainment value.

Just was about to post this below:

FreedomsWatch.org, a group recently formed to support the war, asked me to investigate because it said it wasn’t offered the same terms for a response ad that MoveOn.org got….Bradley A. Blakeman, former deputy assistant to President Bush for appointments and scheduling and the head of FreedomsWatch.org, said his group wanted to run its own reply ad last Monday and was quoted the $64,575 rate on a standby basis.

That’s FreedomsWatch.org, yet another in an endless series of well-funded GOP astroturf groups. Astroturf=phoney grass roots.

The public editor serves as the readers’ representative. But he does not always serve them well.

“I think in the age of television, we are reaching more people today than Abraham Lincoln reached personally his entire career,” he told Fox News yesterday…, where they “fool some of the people all of the time.”

Oh, hurrah!!

Newt’s seen by The Village as the Ideas Guy; one thing the GOP nominating process needs is more Ideas.

This primary just got a lot more fun!

It’ll be the snark equivalent of one of Cheney’s canned “hunts,” that’s what it’ll be. No fun for Newt, but not much challenge for you.

Gee, It seems like only days ago that I stood on a street corner and campaigned against Newt as Rep. and had eggs tossed at me. The interesting aspect is when a car rolls down the window and threatens to F** you and your mother and you wave and say thanks the cars behind have no idea what transpired.

Hell, just for fun lets get Delay in there too!

I stopped and thought about how weak and ineffectual that the Dems are allowing these clowns to make them out to be, and I realized that Dems could actual lose this thing after all!

Mod note: Please do not post in all caps. Thanks.

The possible nominees of the Republican Party (Fred, newt, and Rudy) like to get married every few years. We could have a wedding in the White House and it could be an all day affair on MSM. Wouldn’t that be grand. They certainly have a lot of experience walking down the aisle.

In all fairness, you could say the same thing about all of the rest of the Republican candidates.

This also reminds me of Waldo Jaquith’s recent comment on the rumor that Pat Buchanan might jump into the race to replace John Warner:

Newt’s ego inspires a similar sentiment. *g*

I think the divorce-in-the-cancer-ward incident outweighs anything else you could say about the newt.

In the event that newt were to win the nomination, the democrats should never, ever allow newt or his proxies to say a word about the Clintons’ marriage without being reminded of his conduct on that occasion.

Make no mistake, Newt is NOT stupid nor is he isolated from the fascist “families”…in fact he might be the most “legitimate” politician to have credibility with the reserve army of fascist Brownshirts like the Aryan Nation, Minutemen etc AND the families of the oligarchy.

No, I am gunna focus my attention on the Democratic Party and helpin ta forge an anti-fascist anti-war movement in 2006 to define the Democrats but I won’t forget that Newt is the real thing, dear, and don’tchu underestimate that reptile either.

Of course, I meant weren’t,, but yeah, who are we to be rude and not?

The saddest thing about this utterly dismal crop of GOP Prez hopefuls is that come next summer, after the conventions, they will not cover any egregious episode in the GOP candidate’s past. As to the Dems in that same media coverage, we shall see, but the MSM will do all they can to both tighten the race and to minimize the GOP candidate’s shortcomings. Gonna be hard work, but that’s exactly what I predict is going to happen.

Harold Ford, Chair of the DLC, spoke in Little Rock this afternoon.

But when he was asked what the Democratic Party needs to do to win Southern congressional seats, the answer wasn’t that encouraging: work hard and meet people where they are (whatever that means)

Ford joined Merrill Lynch as an executive earlier this year. It not that his corporate ties are a problem in themselves, but mentioning your meetings with CEOs in New York might not be the way to sway the common man in your favor.

Regina Peruggi, Rudy’s first wife:
“She married Rudy Giuliani, who is her second cousin once removed and whom she had known since childhood, on October 26, 1968 in a large Roman Catholic ceremony in Bedford Park, The Bronx.” (wikipedia)
Now, I don’t know about Rudy and Peruggi(who, by the way, is the president of Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn), but in my family, everyone made very very sure that all the cousins knew one another and knew what the relationships were and how we were all related. And a big Italian Catholic wedding would have been a highly choreographed affair, with a lot of “who’s doing what” and negotiations involved because that is how big family weddings go. I think what Rudy discovered after 14 years of marriage (and a separation from his wife when he went to DC to be in the AG’s office)was that he wanted to be married to someone else, who was Donna Hanover.

That’s a safe bet, brother Ed, but not to worry, the fascist oligarchy does NOT want a Republican in the White House 2007-2010. No, they want the collapse of America’s economy, military and political institutions to hang right around Mrs. Clinton’s neck after they have completed drainin’ the last of the equity from the domestic economy and transferred all the remainin wealth of retirement savings and pensions through draconian taxes on workers and the retired boomers.

The only way to fuck up their plans is to derail Mrs. Clinton or create a progressive majority in the elected Democratic Party to circumscribe her actions and raise the expectations of the American body politic.

I wonder if any of the family value candidates in the Republic Party will be willing to point out Newt’s lack of same.

Hmmm. You know, I don’t like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at all, but I’ve got to give credit where credit is due: The man had the guts to walk into a very hostile forum, sit through a fairly harsh introduction, give his speech, and then take questions from the audience. My first thought after reading about it was, “You know, George W Bush wouldn’t have had the guts to go to Columbia and take questions from a hostile audience.”

Bush would if he could be wired to be fed responses.

Nah. He has the crowds vetted even when he’s not going to say anything. He would never, EVER, under god’s green earth EVER do anything like what A.’s done today.

I wonder if Newt’s entry will prompt Mitt to discover that, like Old Lord McCain, he too has been a Baptist all this time….

The repub base is likely to get a candidate they like.

The dem base…probably not.

If Newt’s jumping in it must mean that Freddie’s not the next Reagan.

I hope the Dem’s are ready because Newt’s main skill is bomb throwing. They cannot allow him to get traction.

I don’t think Freddie was ever anything but “none of the above” personified. You know your party’s in real trouble when the most exciting candidate is always one who hasn’t gotten into the race yet, and whose views and biography aren’t well-known to voters.

You’re right! Georgie W wouldn’t have the guts to go to Columbia University, right here in this country unless he was allowed to stack the audience in his favor, and he certainly wouldn’t have the guts to go to a strange country with a hostile audience asking questions in a language he needs an interpreter to translate.

OT/FYI – The jury is deliberating in the Anchorage trial of former State Representative Pete Kott in one of the many VECO corruption trials. Some are predicting that once the verdict, which will most likely be “guilty,” is out, the DOJ will announce the long-awaited indictment of Ben Stevens, and possibly, of Sen. Ted Stevens. This could all come to pass this week.

Affair with Ann Manning in 1977. Got his divorce.

Gingrich had an affair with a then 33-year-old Congressional staffer, Callista Bisek. He and Bisek were married in 2000.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Donald Trump has some advice for President Bush if he wants a Republican to win the White House: Hide.

The business mogul and vocal critic of the Bush administration told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Monday that he thinks the president is a “huge liability” for any Republican seeking the White House. Trump went on to say the best thing Bush can do for his party is to go into “hiding.”

“I think President Bush has to go into a corner and hide if a Republican is going to get elected,” he said. “There is no way he is an asset. He is a huge liability, and he is going to have to do a big, big hiding act if a Republican is going to win.”

Bush is expecting to make a killing on the speaking circuit. He’s determined to score a higher fee than Poppy. I’m thinking he may get the same response as Rumsfeld…’no thanks’

I’ll actually be really interested to see how much in demand Bush is after he leaves office. His fundraising ability is already off its peak, and I wonder how long it’ll take until even Republicans realize he doesn’t really have anything to say and isn’t that interesting once his finger isn’t on the button. Especially since, unlike every other big-name speaker, he’ll undoubtedly continue to demand that audiences be screened to make sure that everyone is appropriately adoring and grateful.

I mean, I’m sure the 29-percenter authoritarian followers will be happy to chant “U-S-A” at him (at least until they have a new Dear Leader to follow), but they’re not the ones who are paying the big-bucks speaking fees to his daddy…

Who is this Republican congresswoman on Hardball repeating the Republican Talking Points on the Betrayus ad? (she doesn’t seem as upset that Limbaugh called Chuck Hagel “Senator Betrayus” on the air)

“While his “cousin Albert” has effortlessly inhabited the vestments of a liberal politician, to hear Gore Vidal tell it, the former Vice President’s liberalism is merely a prop developed to bring him to the head of the Democratic Party.

“Well, although we are cousins, and I was a friend of his father’s, I’ve always thought he was absolutely pointless as a politician. He’s just another conservative southerner.”

In fact, Al Gore’s voting record as a senator was surprisingly conservative until he rolled his eye toward the White House. Throughout most of his career, he was pro-life and had an 84% anti-abortion rating from the National Right to Life Committee. From 1979 – 81, he voted five times on the side of a Republican sponsored rider that granted a tax exemption for schools like Bob Jones University that discriminate on the basis of race. He was openly anti-gay, calling homosexuality “abnormal” and “wrong,” and telling the Tennessean in 1984 that he did “not believe it is simply an acceptable alternative that society should affirm.” Gore was such a strong supporter of the gun lobby – ultimately voting against the critical 1985 legislation for a mandatory 14-day waiting period for handgun purchases – that National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre once said, “We could have made Al Gore NRA Man of the Year – every single vote.” Finally, when it came time to vote on conservative Supreme Court nominees, Gore publicly praised but voted against the scandal-ridden Clarence Thomas. He voted in Antonin Scalia. If the wider public had been more aware of his legacy, few would have recognized the Al Gore of 1988 who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Pulling his hat down so that his eyes are shadowed from the sun, Vidal continues his effortless assault on Al Gore: “Another border-state, southern lover of the Pentagon…there was never anything the Pentagon asked for that Cousin Albert wasn’t down there giving it to them; he voted for the first war in the Gulf.”

Indeed, Al Gore was one of only ten Democrats to break with the party and vote for President Bush Sr.’s Gulf War in 1991. But while Vidal sees this as a facet of Gore’s eager-to-please statism, others have attributed his dissenting vote to self-interest. Former Republican Senator Alan Simpson accused Gore of peddling his vote on the Iraq War in exchange for high-visibility, headline-grabbing speech time on the floor. According to Simpson, the night before the vote Gore stopped by the GOP cloakroom and asked, “How much time will you give me if I support the President?” Taking him at his word, Simpson and Senator Bob Dole offered Gore twenty minutes, thirteen more than his own party would grant. In Simpson’s account, over the course of the night Gore jockeyed to have the floor during prime time to ensure that he would get coverage in the next day’s news cycle. The negotiations went right up to the last minute, leaving Simpson to conclude that Gore “arrived on the Senate floor with… two speeches in hand. [He] was still waiting to see which side – Republicans or Democrats – would offer him the most and the best speaking time”

Al Gore described by cousin Gore.
