Did Newt make a pass at 'My Darling Ann'?

Or, perhaps he failed to make a pass at her!  Either way, she has just donned her 6" stilettos (no, I don't know that she wears them but in my imagination  . . .) and has stomped all over the poor chap.  Now, it is 'a truth universally acknowledged' that you do not mess with MDA.  She's like all the Bond villainesses rolled into one with a brain and a keyboard.  Cross her and you end up eviscerated.  Don't believe me?  Try this:

Fellow right-wingers: Is our objective to taunt Obama by accusing him of "Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior," of being "authentically dishonest" and a "wonderful con" -- and then lose the election -- or is it to defeat Obama, repeal Obamacare, secure the borders, enforce e-verify, reform entitlement programs, reduce the size of government and save the country?

If all you want is to lob rhetorical bombs at Obama and then lose, Newt Gingrich -- like recent favorite Donald Trump -- is your candidate. But if you want to save the country, Newt's not your guy.

But that was just the taster.  It gets worse:

Gingrich went on to lose almost every negotiation with Bill Clinton -- and that was with solid Republican majorities in both the House and Senate. His repeated capitulation to Clinton led former Vice President Dan Quayle to remark that the Republican "Contract With America" had become the "Contract With Clinton." (Not to be confused with Newt's book, "Contract With the Earth.")

Perfectly good policies are constantly being undermined by Newt's crazy statements -- such as his explanation that women couldn't be in combat because they get infections, whereas men "are basically little piglets," who are "biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes."

Hunt giraffes?

With Gingrich we get the worse of all worlds. He talks abrasively -- offending moderates and galvanizing liberals -- but then carries a teeny, tiny stick.

And even 'worserer':

After Gingrich had been speaker for a brief two years, the Republican House voted 395-28 to reprimand him and fine him $300,000 for ethics violations.

(Sen. Bob Dole loaned Gingrich the money in what was called the first instance of an airbag being saved by a person.)

Oh God, I can't go on.  I'm beginning to understand just a little bit of the attraction Max Moseley finds in being smacked by dominant blonde ladies!

In an earlier piece she tells us that for her, the best old nag in this three-legged horse race is Mr. 'Neat 'n' Tidy' Romney.  Not that she loves him, mind, but she thinks he has the best chance to win

 Meanwhile, everyone knows the nominee is going to be Romney.

That's not so bad if you think the most important issues in this election are defeating Obama and repealing Obamacare.

There may be better ways to stop Obamacare than Romney, but, unfortunately, they're not available right now. [...]

Among Romney's positives is the fact that he has a demonstrated ability to trick liberals into voting for him. He was elected governor of Massachusetts -- one of the most liberal states in the union -- by appealing to Democrats, independents and suburban women.

Very important points in that last paragraph.  And here's another:

Also, Romney will be the first Republican presidential nominee since Ronald Reagan who can talk. Liberals are going to have to dust off their playbook from 30 years ago to figure out how to run against a Republican who isn't a tongue-tied marble-mouth.

Oh God, I love that woman!  I just don't understand why she never replies to my letters.  We were made for each other - ooops, I hear the Memsahib on the stairs, time to close down . . .

Well now. Strange to say I agree totally with Ann's assessment of Newtie.

When comes time for The Southern Baptist Convention - I'd best explain for the benefit of y'all foreigners - the SBC is when all the Republican Wannabees line up to get re-baptized. Anyway, I reckon those good Baptists (especially those of the "Deepwater" variety) will add this with Ann's:

It's one thing to pledge before Iowayan Church groups, quite another at the SBC.

Still - I worry that poor Romney fellow might be "perhaps unfairly" be spoken of in the same sentence as 'Mountain Meadows'.

[David Duff]

I hardly dare ask, JK, but who or what is "Mountain Meadows"?

[Andra]

Probably quite close to Mountain Head but not near Mount Pleasant.

[Hank]

I am inclined to agree with JK that naming Romnney in the same sentance with Mountain Meadows is unfair
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_massacre

And I am very unexcited about Romnney.

[Andra]

What a hypocritical swine that Gingrich is.
Surely he must be running out of women who would agree to have affairs with him.
I can't see any appeal there at all and I certainly wouldn't vote for the creep.

[David Duff]

Ain't this internet-thingie just the best invention since sliced bread? I had never heard of the Mountain Meadows massacre before. What an incredible story - and why hasn't Hollywood been on to it?

[Jackson]

A movie called "September Dawn" about the massacre was made in Calgary in 2005.

Thanks, Jackson, obviously I missed that one. And also obviously it is not a tale often told in the USA for all sorts of reasons. Hey-ho, all families have a skeleton or three in their cupboards!
