I figured he got Colbert's audience.

He's talking about Saul Alinsky. Does that elicit boos and hisses from anyone who isn't a diehard Fox/Rush type?

Gingrich really is a shameless pile of shit, by the way. Just an utterly horrible human being.

I forget who it was, but on Olbermann last night a guy said that the Republican base would go with Newt in order to go down kicking and screaming rather than a closer loss with Romney. Sounds about right to me.

why is saul alinsky a bad guy?

i found it funny when santorum talked about his grandfather buying stuff at hte company store...his grandfather was an indentured servant for a company. a union would've really helped him out.

saul was a JEWWWWWW who was a community organizer who helped align black and white poor people together to demand better wages and living conditions. he went throughout the south doing just this, under threat of death. what a horrible person.

Gingrich is now babbling things even the frothing nincompoops in his audience aren't applauding, mostly because they have no idea what he's talking about

Newt didn't really take hacks at Romney. Probably a smart move.

But might they also be starting to realize that what's wrong with Romney probably isn't fixable? He simply can't seal the deal: the more people see of him, the less they like him. His Mormonism still hurts him among the base, and he's just the perfectly wrong challenger candidate for this year.

Their nominee might not be someone currently in the race. (And Daniels, Huckabee, maybe Palin et al have to be kicking themselves for not jumping in.)

Wonder if they get to the convention and try to draft Jeb Bush. There's no way they can run Gingrich.

I'm imagining his skin crawling as Maddow interviews him. Good.

maddow and sharpton went back-to-back on him...lol. sharpton is pretty ineloquent. he has some OK ideas I guess, but he is not a TV personality. he just never asks a question.

i dont know how maddow does it. she's the most professional person i've ever seen.

"Thank you, Rachel."

Well, somebody's got some self-flagellation comin' later.

tamron hall, how you doing

Newt Gingrich is an anger and rage fueled person.

So are many in this country. I really think he has a chance of being the next president.

I won't leave the country if he's elected. I'll just kill myself with McNuggets instead.
