Newt, We Heartily Knew Ya

Today, Newt Gingrich officially bowed out of the presidential race.

To think that this man is no longer in the running sends chills up my spine. Now I'm going to have to work that much harder to fill up this space- ol' Newt practically wrote these things for me.

So, though tomorrow may be the dawn of a new era, satirically speaking, today I got plenty.

How could Republicans reject a candidate who famously said that right-wing social engineering is as bad as left-wing social engineering; and-even more famously- not only retracted the entire statement, but said that anyone who quoted him would be a "liar-liar-pants on fire."

Wow. Imagine a president like that. He could sign a treaty one day, and repudiate it the next, daring you to call him out on it. He could re-write history simply by- re-writing history. That's balls. That's the kind of leader the Republicans are gonna need if they want to drag us back to the middle ages. How else are they going to cope with 150 years of social progress, but by denying it ever occurred? I don't know what they were thinking, and I don't know about the rest of you, but as far as this blogger is concerned, he'll be missed.
