The Cowardly Lion Roars...

Newt Gingrich is "very seriously" considering a run for President in 2012.


I'm laughing so hard right now, someone will call the cops on me.
It is July before an election, so it's the biannual "I'm Maybe Gonna Run, I Am really I Might" routine from the Former House Speaker, he does this every two years and never ever jumps into the race.
He knows better, most cowards do after all.
Maybe he could run like Pappy O'Daniel used to do down in Texas with a Gospel Band made up of his kids, except Newt could take to the stump as "Newt Gingrich and his Ex-Wives Orchestra".
Newt is good at exactly three things, getting elected from some shitkicker district in Georgia that care not for it's fate save that dirty books be burnt, impressing stupid credulous bastards like David Broder with his entirely sophomoric erudition and intimidating enough congressmen from similar shitkicker districts to elect him Speaker of the US House.
None of these skills will stand him in good stead if he decides to run for real.
Hilary Clinton was salivating at the thought of running against Newt in 2008 he is exactly the sort of petty Captain Queegish dickwad she and her husband had been putting away for over a decade. Shit Dennis Kucinich could beat Gingrich, Walter Mondale dotage and all would beat Newt's fat ass like a red headed step child. Gingrich talks this way every election cycle because his enablers in the Punditariat haven't yet caught on that Newt loves attention not risk...And running his mouth off like this keeps his speaking fees nice and fat
Of course as a lover of classic political buncombe, I am praying Gingrich somehow gets in for 2012, a four way between him, Romney, Sarah Palin and some naive jack off like Piyush "Bobby" Jindal or (dare I say it) Scott Brown would be the maddest tea party on record in the past twenty five years.
The New Hampshire Primary will finally reach it's logical conclusion as a political circus from start to finish, right down to the clown show. The spectacle of Ex Speaker Gingrich lecturing the slack jawed undergrads at Saint Anselm College about the occult wisdom of Alvin "Future Shock" Toffler is a consumation devoutly to be wished!
I for once cannot wait, Run Newt Run!
