So Newt Gingrich is back in the news, lambasting President Obama for his handshake with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. It's sad the the Republicans have to pull these tired geezers out of mothballs to maintain credibility with their constituents. Particularly in Gingrich's case where he was dethroned by pornographer Larry Flint for his questionable behavior behind the scenes.

It is of great interest to me how the most powerful mouthpieces in the Republican party are themselves disgraced former office holders or talk radio hosts who've never been elected to anything... when was the last time you heard from RNC Chair Michael Steele... Oh, yeah... when he apologized to Rush Limbaugh... that's right.
