Newt Gingrich (Google ImageClearly it’s the year of the demagogue If the Republican presidential race is teaching us anything this week, it’s that we have all underestimated the sheer depth of the hostility that many conservatives harbor for President Barack ObamaHow else to explain the rise and rise of an already bluntly discredited politician to the point where he is looking like the main contender for the Republican nod in 2012?Newt Gingrich has expertly ridden an untapped wave of Tea Party contempt all the way to the top In fact he has crested on it with a kind of skill only shared by California surfers READ MORE

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 06:30:20 PST

Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney I’m under no illusions about the weapons-grade insanity we’re all referring to as the Republican primaries this year, but a recent Newt Gingrich attack ad on Mitt Romney hit a particularly stupid noteTitled “The French Connection”, Newt puts the hammer to Mitt by tarring him with the Massachusetts liberal brush, but reaches for a curious case in point: He speaks FrenchQuoi?! For all Romney’s faults – the fact he is a money-mad robot, for example – picking his ability to speak French is trop bizarre, to say the least Never the mind the fact Romney learned French as a Mormon missionary, and the clip they showed was a promotional video for the Winter Olympics he was organising in Salt Lake City READ MORE
