really wanted to to run for President. He had a nice easy life as a paid consultant at Fox News, steady money as an after dinner speaker and all the wives he could afford. Rubert Murdoch forced Newt's ass into the GOP clown-car, hoping to add some intellectual heft to the debate.
So of course Newt is running badly his heart isn't in this one, he'd much rather be writing bad counterfactual sci fi novels, flapping his yap on "Meet the Press" and sleeping til 10am on Saturdays.
It just speaks volumes about the sheer dopiness & credulity of his campaign staff that they have just now awoken to Newt Gingrich's craven opportunism and resigned en masse.
I strongly doubt that Gingrich will last out the year, he is in free fall politically almost everything he has said or done since announcing has alienated some major constituency in the GOP. All that sez to me is "Newt wants OUT!"
Of course there is something grimly hilarious about Newt's campaign staff ditching him like he was one of Gingrich's ex-wives...For Rick "Secesh" Perry, current Governor of Texas. Everytime the cry goes up for a "Serious Conservative" to get into the Presidential race, some falangist lunatic takes that as his or her cue to announce for the White House... and so we move from Gingrich to Perry and ultimately I guess Colonel Khadafi.
If Gingrich isn't doing all this deliberately, then you have to wonder just how someone as slap happy and inept as he ever got elected Speaker of the US House, just two heartbeats away from the Presidency...On the other hand, don't answer that question.
