This oughta be inneresting… Newt Gingrich said this week that a brokered GOP convention this year is a real possibility and that “a series of brand new players” could emerge. Rick Santorum thinks so, too. Who might be a lead contender for the nomination if that happens? According to a PPP poll out this week, it’s Sarah Palin. The talk […]

Rick, you’ve been Romney’d All the headlines this morning are blaring “RICK SANTORUM WON THE DAY AND YES I’M SHOUTING!!! [Image credit: Daily Kos via Newseum] But they are wrong. As it turns out, even in Mississippi where Santorum got the most votes, Mitt Romney walked away with more delegates that poor Rick. In fact, yesterday Romney ended up with […]

Yes, honey. Whatever you say. Callista Gingrich tells us all how to be The Perfect Republican Wife: When asked by a reporter what he was giving up for Lent, the hefty Newt admitted sheepishly that he was giving up sweets.

Or so says a professor who met Gingrich at the Smokey Row coffee house in Iowa, according to the Des Moines Register. “I asked him if he’s elected, […]

Newt is such a charmer, isn’t he? I love that, when he appears in the GOP primary debates, he spends 3½ of his alotted 4 minutes deriding the question and the questioner and castigating the media as a whole. There’s no better way to garner positive press than treat the members of the press as pariahs and sociopaths, is there? […]

The crop of elephants running for the GOP’s presidential nomination are just chock full o’ laughs, aren’t they?

BOB SCHIEFFER (overlapping): You heard at the top of this broadcast, we kind of laid it […]

This kinda restores a bit of my faith. Literally. More than 40 prominent Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders and religion scholars issued a statement today condemning the “xenophobia and religious bigotry” fueling the increasingly strident opposition to a proposed Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero.
