Gingrich for GOP Nominee in '08

Run, Newt, run!

Since the rightwing media has annointed Hillary Clinton as the 2008 Democratic nominee, I think we “leftist extremists” (as your humble editors were once called in this site’s comments) should nominate our favorite candidate for the GOP nomination.

Therefore I am throwing my full support to Newt Gingrich to be the Republican Party’s 2008 nominee. After all, he is tanned, rested, full of ideas — and just about everybody has forgotten that he left the office of House Speaker in disgrace after it was revealed that he’d been having an affair with a coworker while he was driving the GOP’s persecution of President Clinton over his adulterous affair with a coworker that led to the president’s impeachment.

Despite being one of the foremost hypocrites in the history of politicsi, Gingrich is on the campaign trail in New Hampshire:

It’s almost always a joy listening to Gingrich when he’s on a tear. And he’s almost always on a tear of some sort. I caught up with Newt as he wandered around New Hampshire last week, which is what people who think they’re running for President do. Please, God, no, you say. Not that angry guy again. “He’s probably carrying too much baggage to be President,” said Peter Bergin, a Republican state representative from Amherst, N.H. “But he sure is a terrific idea man. He needs to be part of the debate.”

Poetic Justice

Verbatim

“The man is afraid of the voice of the people and that the people understand and know what he’s doing. He’s trying to stifle the ability of journalists to let the people of America know what’s really going on with their government.”

— “Kamala Harris called President Donald Trump’s ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House ‘absolutely abhorrent,’” The Wrap reports.

“Not one of them is trained in technical skills. Not one research PhD, as opposed to China, where half the cabinet is science and technology PhDs. We’re led by grifters and fools.”

— Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs, on X, on President Trump’s 35-person cabinet.

“Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far… The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today.”

— Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), breaking with President Trump in a direct-to-camera video.

A new Fox News Poll finds 71% of voters think the Trump administration lacks a clear strategy for ending the Iran War, including 95% of Democrats, 83% of independents, and 43% of Republicans. Sixty percent say U.S. military action against Iran was the wrong decision, while just 37% say it was right.

470

Reuters has documented at least 470 targets of retribution under Trump’s leadership – from federal employees and prosecutors to universities and media outlets. The list illuminates the sweeping effort by the president and his administration to punish dissent and reshape the government.
