Today's Newt Gingrich Wrap-Up: "Fundamental Difference"

Courtesy of Think Progress, via Political Animal, what Newt's up to these days. Gingrich is such a chickenhawk we're surprised he hasn't been busted w/ a 15 yr.-old boy & a jar full of "X," "E," "Special K" or whatever letter the kids are consuming for kicks these days.

Hell, drug abuse is as good an explanation as any for Newt's paranoid bellicosity.

He said the US should "use covert operations … to create a gasoline-led crisis to try and replace the regime". "I think we have a vested interest, the world has a vested interest, in a responsible Iranian government, just as we have a vested interest in a responsible North Korean government," he said.

No government is more responsible than the one that "destabilizes" other governments, & then expects results that will favor the destabilizer.

Definition of "Is" Dep't:

Gingrich clarified, “I called for sabotage, not bombing. … Fundamental difference.”

What does "sabotage" involve, then? Blocking the toilets at the refineries? (Of which Iran has nine, not one as Newt suggested/lied.) Letting the air out of the tires of gas tankers?

Newt isn't just embarrassing himself internationally, however. He'd like to see domestic destabilization as well: Newt's immigration plans. (He doesn't mention the economic stimulus aspects of his plan, but investment in cattle car manufacture may put you on top of the free market. You heard it here first.)

We can only hope the Grand Old Party doesn't run disgraced former Speaker Gingrich & disgrced former Governor Palin against us in 2012. That combination of reasoned ideas, concern for the common people, & a charming, charismatic appeal to all that is good in America would be unstoppable. Like a runaway train headed for a washed-out bridge.
