"Newt Gingrich is clearly running for President. How do I know? He gets dumb and angry when running for office."
via John Cole at http://www.balloon-juice.com/:
"Newt Gingrich is a hustler, no more interested in actual “politics” than Sarah Palin, his natural heir. He wants money and media attention and payback for every real or imagined injury done to his vast ego by the legions of his self-perceived enemies. Actual political campaigning—pretending to be interested in what other people think—is tedious and unprofitable, but a pleasant career being paid to speak at high-dollar fundraisers between appearances as a televised “thinker” must be carefully nurtured. The Media Village Idiots’ current agitation about the crop of minor-league sociopaths, publicity-seekers, and narcissists perceived to be “presidential contenders in 2012” has Gingrich hustling to ensure that the Gingrich brand retains its high-value shelf space in the political Walmart that is the modern Wingnut Welfare Wurlitzer."
