Is it possible to find a candidate willing to cut government spending who isn't a complete scumbag psychopath? Or is that impossible simply by virtue of the sleaze hurdle to achieve political relevance in America? #newtgingrich

Perhaps he is channeling George Washington just like Hillary Clinton channeled Eleanor Roosevelt? #newtgingrich

Twitter Wars: Re-enactments for those too lazy to get up, shake off the Cheeto dust and change out of their PJs.

I hope Newty-Toot runs his campaign via Twitter. #newtgingrich

I love Bob Dole in the background, all like "Bob Dole wants to be a part of first contact too! Bob Dole has important opinions about this! Bob Dole! Bob Dole! BOB DOLE!!!" #newtgingrich

I kind of like the tax holiday idea. The Fed can borrow more cheaply than average Americans and most non-rich (the "bottom 95%") would use the cut to liquefy debt. Seems like a decent swap to me - it's a direct way of doing what a bank stimulus is supposed to do. Combine that with insured deposits and you can let the banks fail.

The truly rich 5% would either spend the cash or invest it with the surviving banks in the surviving industries. I don't know if that produces the magical land of wind turbines and switchgrass or whatever it is politicians are saying while scientists hang their heads today. But hey, if we're all just going to take wild shots in the dark and accuse each other of pork barreling...

@ADismalScience: So what you're saying is, if Nadya Suleman is supporting herself and her 14 kids "on student loans," why can't the federal government do the same thing? It's weirdly brilliant, in a Bernie Madoff-Tom Petters-Carlos Ponzi way.

@Jill7:

I'm saying you essentially swap consumer debt for Federal debt. I mean, we all still pay, but at lower rates.

I actually think Obama chose door #3: Sit back, go about his business and watch to see if Newt Gingrich is really stupid enough step in and attempt to prevent a corpulent, pill-popping shock-jock from siccing his legions of mouth-breathing, sad-sack followers upon the assorted minstrels and clowns that constitute elected GOP leadership.

His air control plan is a doozy: magical space satellites will allow them to axe 7,000 air-controller jobs and increase air traffic over busy vectors. Why do Republicans hate safety so much?

@Baroness: It costs money, and since not everyone benefits from it (i.e., only people on airplanes, or directly beneath them), then not everyone should have to pay for it.

The Amnesiac Newt Comeback Tour played the Warfield last September. Place was fucking craaazy. They had to shut down the venue for 10 minutes in the middle of the set because the band refused to play a venue with union labor.

You're pretty wrong about Obama's attitude towards the house republicans, and what caused them to vote 'no' en masse. Pelosi was the real culprit there, and she seems to have a talent for getting under Hopey's skin.

@Almostbanned: I cannot stand Nancy Pelosi. In fact, Harry Reid has been the only Democratic Congressional leader I've been able to tolerate (and barely, at that) this whole damn decade. They all suck.
