Newtie’s right jab
by digby
Nobody can hurl a nasty, racist soundbite like Newtie. He’s just got a knack for it:
Gingrich also blasted Obama as “the most successful food stamp president in modern American history.”
He also has a knack for sounding like a megalomaniac:
Republican Newt Gingrich told a Georgia audience on Friday evening that the 2012 presidential election is the most consequential since the 1860 race that elected Abraham Lincoln to the White House and was soon followed by the Civil War.
Of course it is. Newtie wouldn’t have been called to run if it weren’t.
After all, he’s the “idea man” of the Republican Party, the leader of the Republican Revolution and he’s brimming with bold new plans to bring the country back:
He outlined a jobs plan that would eliminate the estate and capital gains taxes and lower the corporate tax rate, which he said would infuse the nation’s sputtering economy with new investment.
And, by the way, he’s Abraham Lincoln in case you were wondering.
