Bye Bye Newt - thanks for stealing the headline

[malaise]

Go buy some jewelry and have breakfast at Tiffany's.
You are fucking history - at last.

1. Probably to be replaced by Perry. n/t

2. He fucked history years ago.

Now he's just toying with it, and history is fucking him.

3. He's not gone ...

yet.

Although Mr. Gingrich is insisting – at least for the time being – that he’ll remain in the race, betting markets now give him just a 1-in-200 chance of winning the Republican nomination.

Newt Gingrich's already shaky presidential campaign suffered a stunning and perhaps irreparable setback Thursday as all his top staffers quit.

12. The bright side for this Conservative family-values jerk

9. Vaguely similar to the disarray in the Kerry campaign in 2004

I remember thinking that Jawn and his tone-deaf campaign were toast (his campaign manager resigned as I recall), but then the Librul Meedya created the Dean Scream (predecessor of the Weiner Wiener) and Kerry was miraculously back in the race.

11. You have a good memory

Rachel is devouring Newt as I type :rofl:
