Retarded Politician of the Week: Newt Gingrich

Newton Leroy Gingrich, just what has happened to you?

You used to be a conservative and the face of conservatism in the Republican party. You once helped stopped the Clinton juggernaut and went on to eloquently define and defend conservatism in the 21st century. I don't know what to make of you now.

First, you start hanging out with perennial racist pig Al Sharpton and warmed-over sixties commie Arne Duncan. Story.

Then you endorse Dede Scozzafava, a Republican in name only, for former Rep. John McHugh's seat in the 23rd district of New York. Despite knowing that Ms. Scozzafava is loaded down with liberal positions and was even endorsed by ACORN affiliate Working Families Party and that she makes former RINO Arlen Specter look like John Birch. You went so far as to say about Scozzafava, "Our best chance to put responsible and principled leaders in Washington starts here, with Dede Scozzafava." Story. You did this despite the fact that just about every other principled conservative in the Republican party endorsed Conservative Party Candidate Doug Hoffman. Apparently they could see what you could not.

After Ms. Scozzafava realized that she could not win against a true conservative such as Mr. Hoffman, and that she was in fact indistinguishible from the Democrat in the race, Ms. Scozzafava "suspended" her campaign. Then she showed the true colors which were visible to every other conservative in the country, except for you Mr. Gingrich. Ms. Scozzafava then endorsed the Democrat whose positions and whose associations with ACORN were closest to her own. Story.

I hope that you are ashamed of yourself, Mr. Gingrich.

If the Republican party does not take you to the woodshed over this, you should voluntarily go into exile. And give up any hope of running for president in 2012. Conservatives in this country don't need you.
