And a Happy Newt Year?

Below, an embarrassing Christmas video put together by Newt Gingrich’s New Hampshire staff, nabbed from AlterNet. On one hand, Newtie getting the GOP nomination would dead-cinch insure Obama’s reelection, since Gingrich is nothing but a shambling fountain of bullshit, bombast and bad ideas guaranteed to turn off most voters; on the other, his gag-inducing lies and distortions, along with his moronic history lessons and numb-null nitwittery such as this video would be hard to take for an entire election season. (The gnome in green with the pointy hat just has to be his NH campaign manager.)
