Via TBOGG, this is the funniest thing I’ve read in weeks:

I yield to no-one in my respect for the Clintons’ ruthless brutal demolition of Newt, and that guy who succeeded Newt for 20 minutes, and Gennifer and Kathleen and all the rest.

Oh the humanity! Poor, brave little Newtie was brutalized by the howwible Clintons. (Never mind the criminality, hypocrisy and overall ineffectiveness that led him to be stabbed in the back by his own revolutionary guard…)

Newt Gingrich almost single-handedly turned our politics into the putrid, rancid sewer it is today. That the right is now serving that merciless thug up as another of their helpless victims is more evidence of the severe, psychological disturbance that permeates their thinking.

*If you ever get a chance to see the documentary “The Rise And Fall Of Newt Gingrich”, do. (Here’s a review.) It’s an incredible look at Newt during the 1998 elections when he confidently predicted a 30 to 40 seat gain and instead they ended up losing 5. That (and his own caucus gunning for him) is what ultimately cost him his speakership. He and the Republicans brutally demolished themselves.
