Newt Gingrich is not good with money. Politico reports that, at one point, Newt was into Tiffany's for half a million. Now seems like a good time to remind everyone that, among his many indiscretions as in congress, he also wrote three bad checks as part of the House banking scandal.
On the other hand, Newt may be finished anyway -- because Paul Ryan's unpopular Medicare wrecking ball has inexplicably become a sacred cow to the GOP. Weren't they all running screaming from it just a couple weeks ago?
Not helping mend Gingrich's ties with the GOP establishment, Tea Party fave Allen West stops just short of calling him a racist.
Fox News coins the term "Bachmania." I'm sure that, in terms of cultural impact, it'll give Beatlemania a run for its money.
Remember, I totally called this: Paul Ryan won't run for Herb Kohl's Senate seat.
The "Gang of Six" senators who were supposed to be knocking out a compromise budget agreement loses Tom Coburn. The press still calls them the "Gang of Six," for some reason.
Remember the last idiot ideologue who came out of the Texas Governor's Mansion to run for president? That worked out well, didn't it? Let's do it again.
Finally, what liberal media? The press has joined the GOP in ignoring the unemployed.
