gingrich gets a good spanking but I'm surprised at the source
U.S. News and World Report publishes an editorial critical of newt gingrich??

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/opinion/mashekblog/archive/060905/hypocrites_and_gop_values.htm

Who would imagine anyone calling gingrich a hypocrite and taking him to task for his knucklehead attack on Nancy Pelosi and her "values?"

Nice read and from an unexpected source. U.S.News is a giant of "conservative" intellectual thought. How did an honest article with factual data make the cut?

1. Maybe they want McCain in 08 and not a restoration of Newt.
It is getting difficult to see the conservative movement as united anymore.

2. They want a sacrifice in 08
because they know things are going to hell pretty rapidly and they'll need a Democrat to blame.

My guess is that they'll run Allen to make sure the fundies stay with them. Newt doesn't have a chance, the fundies won't support him. Same with McCain.

The strategy is to set Jebbie up for a run in 2012, to "save" the country from the Democrats, who will have a tough time trying to fix the stuff Stupid has wrecked.

The only thing that can put a monkey wrench into their plan is an impeachment with a full investigation and public airing of what this gang of Straussian criminals has really been up to.
