Gingrich Goes Galt Goodwin

From Album3

Not to claim Rude Pundit levels of creativity, but my initial reaction to Newt's invocation of Goodwin's law was that he sounds for all practical purposes like a pathetic old cretin who's porn addiction drives him towards ever more bizarre images to ignite his, um, fury.

It's sad, really...and kind of disgusting, now that I want to NOT think about it. But it's also just another instance of careless/reckless political rhetoric that speaks volumes, and not in a good way, about the character of a twerp like Newt, who sees nothing wrong with the sort of language that could oh so easily incite a particularly ugly violence.

Grounded...An Update

From Album3

Even as Pimpgate falls apart faster than a cheap, fake costume (and check out Rachel Maddow's website tomorrow for more), my suspicions re: "investigative reporter" O'Keefe are, alas, confirmed -- someone paid out enough money to hire a fixer who pulled some strings, getting the boy off rather lightly in the process.

I'm not real surprised, though something tells me O'Keefe's fifteen minutes are coming to a rapid and ignominious end. The only real question is who's paying the big bucks -- getting charges reduced to a misdemeanor doesn't come cheap...if some wingnut benefactor shelled out, we can probably expect young Jim to not go so quietly into the night; if it was mom and dad taking out yet another mortgage on the house, O'Keefe will probably fade away and radiate.

And so it goes...
