Infinite MonkeysIn a Powerline post, the blogger formerly known as Deacon, tells us that Newt Gingrich is, god help us, still keeping open the possibility of a Presidential run.
NO! Bad Republican! Bad!
I suppose that if the Newtster got in, he might be one of my favorites, but he is damaged goods to a degree that I do not think is salvageable. Sure, the press was unfair to him (the "withering on the vine" nonsense, for one, the government shut-down for another), but the fact remains, Newt will NEVER be President. If you think he has a snowballs chance in hell, you are high and need to stop.
Newt is probably the only Republican with more baggage, however unjustly earned, than Hillary!. He can't F'n win!
Besides, sometimes he just seems too wonkish for me. Too much like a Philosopher King, without any moral foundation. But then that's just me, and I've been drinking.
