Newt Gingrich, The Ship Be Sinking

Meghan McCain is very unlikable to me.

This criticism, regardless of the validity, is too funny considering her own family history.

 

Chris, can you post the famous Meghan Twitter photo? I can't post pix with the device I'm using right now.

 

I think this is the one you wanted

 

Thanks, Chris!

 

Damn, I just can't pull the trigger.

 

Jesus. I wonder how many dudes have been incarcerated in those Hanoi Hilton's?

 

I dunno. She seems pretty likeable to me.

 

Hooray!

 

Good NYT piece today about Gingrich's rise and fall.

Paints him as a moderate pragmatist. We all kind of know that, but interesting to have it laid out.

I'm sure plenty on here would disagree with me, but I don't think a comparison to Nixon is anything to be ashamed of. As the article says, it's not a comparison based on Watergate.

I like that he's described as an "ideas man" and I like that he's broken ranks with his party when he feels strongly about something.

 

I'm sure he loves being compared to Nixon instead of Reagan.

Newt's desent in the polls might make Perry's look like a comfortable landing.
