‘Smug Shot’ from the GOP Debate

By Doug Powers  •  November 14, 2011 02:01 PM

**Written by Doug Powers Probably the most talked about exchange from Saturday night’s GOP debate was the Newt Gingrich/Scott Pelley back and forth regarding the sanctioned killing of American born terrorists overseas (the least talked about portion of the debate was the second hour, because not many people could watch it). Here’s video of the [...]

GOP 2012: The Hold Your Nose Tracker

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 17, 2011 10:14 AM

Photoshop: Reader Jimmy D. Yes, I’m still struggling. Like many of you, I am still carefully weighing all the costs and benefits of each declared GOP candidate. As the candidates continue highlighting each other’s unsavory left-wing alliances, I thought it might be helpful to compile a Hold Your Nose Tracker of the current top four [...]

Quick and dirty debate after-report: Perry is running out of gas; Excuses, excuses

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 11, 2011 11:01 PM

To be fair, if you and I had to be up on stage with Charlie Rose and Karen Tumulty, we’d be soporifically stupefied after a few minutes, too. But then again, we’re not running for the highest office in the land and raising millions of dollars from people across the country who are counting on [...]

Exodus: Newt’s top campaign staff abandons ship

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 9, 2011 03:25 PM

The Beltway is abuzz over the mass exodus today of Newt Gingrich’s key campaign operatives. Via AP, “Ginrgrich press spokesman Rick Tyler told The Associated Press that he’s resigned along with campaign manager Rob Johnson, senior strategists and aides in key early primary states.” A Twitter follower of mine wonders about their parting gifts: “No [...]

Beltway Newt: No, really, I’m you!

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 23, 2011 12:11 PM

Ow. Ow. Doubled over from laughing so hard. Need a tissue to wipe away the tears. Hoo-boy. Via Michael O’Brien at The Hill: Gingrich: ‘I’m not a Washington figure’ Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said he doesn’t view himself as a “Washington figure,” positioning himself as an anti-D.C. candidate in his campaign for president.

Gingra Din

By Doug Powers  •  May 19, 2011 10:43 AM

**Written by Doug Powers Thanks to Newt Gingrich’s spokesman Rick Tyler and his soaring, epic defense of the besieged candidate, we have a sequel of sorts to Rudyard Kipling’s famous poem, Gunga Din. I’m calling the new version Gingra Din. First, just to warm up, a bit of Kipling’s Gunga Din: You Lazarushian-leather Gunga Din! [...]

Trump to self: I’m fired!

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 16, 2011 01:04 PM

Donald Trump squandered untold political oxygen exploiting the Tea Party while backing government bailouts, Obamacare, the porkulus, and wealth/property redistribution. Now, he’s squeezing a 16th minute out of his announcement today that he won’t run for the GOP presidential nomination. Good riddance: After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office [...]

Gingrich Jumps In

By Doug Powers  •  May 9, 2011 09:56 PM

**Written by Doug Powers As Mitch Daniels awaits his wife’s okay to run (feel free to tell him to mow the lawn instead, Mrs. Daniels), Newt Gingrich is getting the jump: Newt Gingrich, the House speaker who led a national GOP resurgence in the 1990s before facing ethics questions and resigning, is running for president.

Dede Scozzafava goes to work…for Andrew Cuomo

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 4, 2011 02:10 PM

I hope Newt Gingrich and all the GOP Beltway groups that dumped millions of grass-roots dollars into the radical Big Labor, ACORN-friendly, Margaret Sanger Award-winning tax & spender’s appalling NY-23 campaign are proud. From NY Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s press release today: Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the following appointments and nominations to senior [...]

Beltway fixture tells AWOL president he needs more time off

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 16, 2010 09:30 AM

Washington swamp creature Newt Gingrich gets the dumb D.C. advice of the day award. In an interview with CBN’s David Brody, he says that permanent vacationer Barack Obama needs to spend more time away from the Beltway to “reflect.” Really: President Obama has had an amazing career. He’s gone from State Senator to U.S. Senator [...]

Ladies of the Right vs. Beltway GOP boyz club; Plus: Fire From the Heartland

The times they are a-changin’ — and it’s ladies of the Right who are kicking ass and naming names. Five items for your viewing and reading pleasure: * Jeri Thompson smacks GOP poobahs and pooh-pooh-ers upside the head: While they may not be intending to be sexist, the message, the attitude and whining sure make [...]

Time to Play ‘Stump Howard Dean’

By Doug Powers  •  July 25, 2010 08:19 PM

**Written by Doug Powers Howard “Yeearrrgh!” Dean was on Fox News this morning with Chris Wallace discussing the Shirley Sherrod thing, and Dean reiterated simple truths such as the sun rises in the east, kids shouldn’t run with scissors and that Fox News is racist. Wallace asked Dean if he was aware that the Sherrod [...]

A “Gingrich surge?” Gag.

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 14, 2010 11:56 AM

Where’s my migraine headache medicine? Matthew Continetti at the Weekly Standard sifts through CNN poll numbers and finds that Newt Gingrich has “surge[d] into the top tier of presidential prospects.” I was amused to hear Gingrich ripping Barack Obama’s “secular, socialist machine” at the SRLC last week and condemning the “most radical administration in history.” [...]

Clownifying education reform again

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 11, 2009 04:33 PM

Ugh. Here comes the traveling Obama education circus again. This time, in Baltimore: The odd couple of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and the Rev. Al Sharpton will bring their quest for education reform to Baltimore on Friday. Gingrich and Sharpton are on a three-city “listening and learning” tour to find out which school strategies [...]

The GOP elite’s $1 million object lesson — and the message of NY-23

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 4, 2009 02:14 AM

Conservatives owe NY-23 candidate Doug Hoffman immeasurable gratitude. He overcame impossible odds (single digits just a month ago) to come within two points of defeating Democrat Bill Owens. Hoffman had zero name recognition. National Republican Party officials dumped nearly $1 million into the race on behalf of radical leftist GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava, who then [...]

How Scozzafava repays NRCC and RNC

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 1, 2009 05:54 PM

Hey, how did that six-figure RNC donation to the NRCC plus $85,000 to the New York GOP plus nearly half-million-dollar investment in advertising and other independent expenditures on behalf of radical leftist Dede Scozzafava work out? She repaid the GOP by endorsing Democrat candidate Bill Owens. Some gratitude, eh? “Since beginning my campaign, I have [...]

Radical leftist GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava quits

Cartoon of the day

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 26, 2009 01:38 PM

Newt and Dede sitting in a tree, erasing lines between “R” and “D” (TobyToons via RedState): The latest Club for Growth poll on NY-23 shows conservative candidate Doug Hoffman continuing his surge over the liberal Democrat and the radical leftist “R” in the race. (Caveats: Sample size is small and CfG is pro-Hoffman. Still. Hoffman’s [...]

Newt for 2012? No, thanks.

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 26, 2009 09:47 AM

The most prominent GOP endorser of radical leftist NY-23 congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava is openly musing about running for president in 2012. No, thanks: Callista and I are going to think about this in February 2011. And we are going to reach out to all of our friends around the country. And we’ll decide, if [...]
