Ghod almighty but

Newt Gingrich sounds serious about running for President in 2012.

I mean follow the above link, there he is up at my Alma Mater, Saint Anselm College bellowing for even bigger federal deficits and a foreign policy composed of Total Fear.
He even took questions from students, given the horse's ass he made of himself last week over Libya that comes as a shock.
Still this is Newt Gingrich we are talking about he is very very good at sounding serious about running for President without ever indulging the necessary followup.
The man is also a high-tech gaffe generator par excellence, just get some meek St A's co-ed to ask him about the Catholic Church's prohibition of divorce and watch the smoke shoot out of the Former Speaker's ears.

Still and all that, I liked Saint Anselm College better before they got tarted up with an "Institute of Politics" and went out working the streets for that sweet sweet New Hampshire Primary type exposure.
The austere monks of Saint Benedict (who run Saint Anselm College) cannot resist the lure of political tourism's easy dollar.
