Let’s face it, even mainstream Republicans will admit, Newt Gingrich is a moral misfit.  You know the drill, he told his first wife he was divorcing her on her cancer bed, then he told his second wife that he was having an affair with a young staffer and wanted an open marriage all while trying to impeach President Clinton for having an affair and telling gays that they had no right to take the sacred vows of marriage.

Nine year old Dybbuk sums it up best; recalling the New Republic cover of a few weeks ago depicting the GOP race as a dog show ("and that's the lady who says shutzpah"), he pronounced Newt "King of the Bitches"

Though it may at times be hard to discern, this Department really does have a great underlying and unifying theme, which runs through all its posts, be they about matters international or around the block.

It was some night Thursday night, hundreds of miles apart.  The President picked up from his Inaugural "slow dance" with the first lady........while in Charleston, Newt actually did a decent job of flipping the "open marriage" story 48 hours before residents of South Carolina vote.

At a recent debate all six of the remaining Republican Contenders for President were asked “where should Americans feel the pain”?  Each took turns beating the drum with cut and dry programs designed to inflict that pain, all on the poor and elderly. Cuts designed to reduce federal agencies that protect the environment, and enhance standards in education. The real cost, and pain, being inflicted on all Americans by the military and prison industrial complex was never addressed by any of the Republicans. Any except  Congressman Ron Paul.
