Shep Smith on Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney becoming best frenemies after Newt suspending his campaign:
Mitt Romney has released a statement on the departure of Newt Gingrich from the campaign. It reads in part, “Ann and I are glad to call Newt and Callista friends. We look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead.” That from Mitt Romney. Politics is weird. And creepy. And now I know lacks even the loosest attachment to anything like reality.
True story, Shep. And welcome to the weirdest, creepiest cycle I’ve ever seen.

Well, maybe there’s an exception…
That’s about right.

We all should thank Newt Gingrich
Not only was he entertaining as hell (moon colonies, y’all!), he’s celebrating May Day by suspending his campaign on May 1st.
It’s about time a GOP candidate thought of the working class </sarcasm>
We should all tweet him and thank him for bringing attention to May Day and participating in a General Strike.
That’s what he’s doing, right?
No?
Eh, fuck it. Thank him anyhow:

Breaking news: Newt Gingrich was bitten on the finger by a penguin at the St. Louis Zoo.
No word yet on if reality has also bitten him on the ass.

Never forget, amirite?!
The Titanic’s sinking was a tragedy. Newt’s sinking is karmic hilarity.

BEST. RESPONSE. EVER.
My night is seriously made. Video below:
Nancy Pelosi launches the new “Stop Colbert” campaign to pass the DISCLOSE Act. And it’s freakin’ hilarious:
“Stephen Colbert used to be my friend. I even signed the poor baby’s cast when he hurt his hand. But since the day he started his SuperPAC, taking secret money from special interests, he’s been out of control - even using his SuperPAC to attack my friend, Newt Gingrich.”
Fuck yeah, Nancy Pelosi.

“Frankly, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.”
Dear God, this picture is missing one thing in the background:

The Democrats have failed in the public schools with the African-Americans, they abort their babies, they’ve done nothing to lift them out of poverty!
… We just showed this movie, ‘Red Tails’ across the state in Jacksonville, you know who showed up? Military families. You know what color they were? They were African-American. You know who they brought? Their kids. Finally Hollywood made a movie with patriotic African-American role models. They don’t have any.
Rick Tyler, Newt Gingrich SuperPAC chair, in one of the most blatant examples of GOP racism in recent memory. Apparently, African-American children had no role models until Red Tails. I could barely believe what I was watching.
Watch the video for yourself:
I thought Al Sharpton was going to lose his shit completely. I wouldn’t blame him.

Yes. So much this…

This has been the image on my laptop desktop for months, and it’s also my message to Newt Gingrich and his moon colony…
If you check out what he said on Thursday, his space policy seems to consist of finders-keepers and little more.
We are running a huge deficit, yes. I’m not going to argue about government spending in this post. But I will ask one question - What would happen if Washington DC gridlock eased and the parties were focused more on governance versus winning re-election and fundraising?
Wouldn’t that be fantastic?
I can dream, right?

Live coverage of tonight’s CNN Debate
My coverage of the CNN debate tonight. Yes, there was another one.
It’s getting ridiculous in terms of the introductions - each debate is introduced as the most important one. This debate may actually be relatively important - it’s the last one before Florida’s primary, and with Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich tied in the polls, they needed a strong night. The result? Eh, not so much.
Romney managed to get some hits in on Gingrich, and vice-versa, but the consensus on Twitter seemed to be that it was less strategic debate tactic and more tantrum-throwing. Either way, I predict Florida is Rick Santorum’s last stand. He’s running out of cash. The sweater vest market is small, and there’s only so many you can sell to each person, y’know?
And the discussion over colonizing the moon… Statehood for the moon. Seriously. Don’t miss that.
The next debate isn’t scheduled until February 22nd, so we have at least a month ‘til the next one.
If you missed tonight’s debate, catch it here:

Live-blog of yesterday’s NBC GOP debate/State of the Union
Because of last night’s Ron Paul fans, I didn’t get a chance to put this together until today. No matter - it’s still fresh.
If you missed last night’s debate, you can view the video here.
I’ll be live-blogging tonight’s State of the Union address and will have a very special edition of State of the Union bingo up before the speech. Feel free to send me your suggestions for squares.
Follow me on Twitter: @meglanker
Live stream for the State of the Union address here.
After tonight, I’m convinced.
