POPSNewt Grigrich; Smartest Republican. And that is just so sad! The media likes to claim that current-15-minutes-of-famer, Newt Gingrich is "the smartest man in the room" when compared to the other Republican Clown College Candidates. The fact that he makes such absurd mistakes, even in his own self-professed specialty of History shows us that accepting that he is the smartest of those losers; he's still no more intelligent, nor informed than a typical 10 year old. These are the people that Republicans want to run the nation with the biggest Murder Machine (Military) in the world?

If you're going to say an intellectually-retarded person, like Perry or Bachmann should be president, then that's the same as saying you want America to be represented by idiots.

At worse, it's an arrogant guy doing some smack talking about a really arrogant guy who doesn't know what the hell he's doing. And what's even more clever than this? Well, this is the time when the media turns to vetting Gingrich and trying to take him out. And they are doing so. And of course his rivals turn to him as well, as we saw with the Ron Paul ad. I don't know if it's going to work, but if Gingrich's "intemperate, extremist" statements do crowd out the stuff about him lobbying for Fannie and Freddie, it's win-win-win for him. The base likes the allegedly "intemperate, extremist" attack on Obama -- who is in fact a disciple of Alinsky ...
