Saw this bumper sticker and I know it means Newt Gingrich but all I could think was

NEWT FOR PRESIDENT

[surpriseitsthevoiceofreason-blog]

He is the only one who actually gives solutions and what he will do in office.

This video that I spotted over at HotAir is further evidence of Newt the fighter. Look at this! He laughs, he calls Pelosi out. No trying to weasel out...Newt's campaign motto should be "Come at me bro!"

We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English, so they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto.

Lather, rinse, repeat: Like clockwork, the latest Republican to "surge" is now showing substantial signs of collapse. Newt's polling in Iowa has dropped 13 points in the last two weeks, down to 14% from 27%. In other words, he's lost roughly half his support in a matter of weeks. He's now in third place, behind Mitt Romney (20%) and Ron Paul (23%), the current first-placer. The same polling house also has him running third in New Hampshire, with 17%--behind Paul (19%) and Romney (35%). Oh, and in a national CNN poll, Gingrich's lead has disintegrated, as he now ties Romney for first (though, as we'll continue to say, national polls aren't terribly important in primaries). Hey Newt, how's the real estate down on K-Street looking?

I would really love to spend six months to a year in the Amazon basin, just being able to spend the day watching tree sloths.

Newt Gingrich • In a 1995 Vanity Fair profile. There are lots of fun tidbits in this piece. Even back then, Gingrich was thinking of a presidential run, but his then-wife Marrianne didn't approve. "I don't want him to be president," she said, "and I don't think he should be" (he eventually divorced her). Newt often describes himself oddly journalistic terms, as if he's a pundit writing an op-ed column, and this was true in 1995 as well.  He says here that he's "a mythical person," "a psychodrama living out a fantasy," and that "what makes me unusually intense is that I personalize the pain of war, the pain of children being killed." source (via • follow)
