1. Listen to the NPR

piece on Gingrich this morning.

http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=3

you have to scroll down the page a little over half way.

Wife number 2 says that Gingrich re-invents his past often. A lot of folks call it lying.

on edit: corrected typo

3. How many 100,000's if not millions...

of families are in the same or similar positions as this family. The fact that Gingrich thinks this man should turn down the unemployment that was paid into and he deserves, and as a result lose his house, shows just how out of touch he and most of the republican party actually are with what's going on in working class America. This man spent a large part of his adult life as a mechanic, doing physical labor in frequently hot or cold conditions while standing on a hard concrete floor and bent over the hood of a car. I very seriously doubt that Newt has ever done an honest days physical work in his life.

5. I remember reading that Newt married wife #1 to put him through college.

She worked, he didn't. Then he dumped her as she was trying to overcome cancer, and did not pay any support. Her church had to take up a collection for her and the children so she could keep the electricity on.

He's a piece of self-righteous work.

6. Wow. Utterly despicable and yet...

believable. Yet he still feels qualified to tell other people how they should live their lives. Amazing.

4. When considering Newty's narcissism

does the term Sociopathic Personality Disorder ring a bell? It should, because that increasingly appears to be the preferred mental illness of American conservatism's leadership class. :smoke:

7. I think the really great point that man made was that unemployment was something

that we pay for. Its unemployment insurance. In really bad times, its going to cost. AND the thing is that most people who have a brain understand that unemployment is something that they pay into as an insurance. Its not like sitting on the dole doing drugs.. the pukes using these lines are just pissing off many people who may normally support them.

8. Salamander Gingrich

This adulterer should just shut up--From the South, of course
