"Fundamentally, Newt's the One!"

clemenza, Thursday, 8 December 2011 00:25 (twelve years ago) link

David Frum had an interesting point tonight (when asked how he'd advise Romney at this point): ask Republican voters if they want 2012 to be a referendum on the Clinton presidency. A subtle point that probably wouldn't get Mitt very far.

Did Frum intend a defense of the Clinton presidency? About time -- it was the most successful Republican presidency of the last thirty years.

newt today:

"On my first day in office," he said, "I will move our embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem." Massive applause. "And I will ask John Bolton to serve as secretary of state." Even bigger applause -- standing ovation, biggest applause he's gotten.

the whole john bolton thing is so weird

I think Frum's point was simply that instead of the election being about Obama's fragile presidency, Newt would symbolically shift voter's thoughts to what is generally viewed as Clinton's successful one.

clemenza, Thursday, 8 December 2011 00:47 (twelve years ago) link

I love how Newt's not even in office yet and he's already violating rules/breaking laws

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 8 December 2011 00:48 (twelve years ago) link

It's Signal Sending, guys.

Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 8 December 2011 00:55 (twelve years ago) link

more like Cunnilingus For Certain Interest Groups, amirite?

Aimless, Thursday, 8 December 2011 00:57 (twelve years ago) link

if newt really want to send signals, why doesn't he propose alberto gonzalez for attorney general; donald rumsfeld for sect. of defense; and dick cheney for sect. of state.

A RETURN TO SIMPLER, MORE SENSIBLE TIMES.

Because Bolton and his mustache encompass multitudes.

and unfortunately putting it together into one gif is way more of an effort than it should be (involves breaking each gif into it's individual frames, arranging them into a single consolidated image, lining up timing, etc), and i'm drunk

I'm counting on this to be awesome:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1211/70060.html

When Romney starts attacking--I can't see that he has much choice at this point--part of me wants the crowd to turn on him mercilessly, which would probably inhibit him the rest of the way, and part wants the two of them to tear each other to shreds. I expect many cutaways to the rest of the candidates looking bored and/or disgusted, or waving their hands "I'm here too, you know"-style.

I had no idea that Michelle Bachmann was my mom:

BACHMANN: People do find out [in my book] that I did not get asked to my senior prom.
HANNITY: Well, neither did I. And nobody would go with me.
BACHMANN: Well, in my time, girls didn't ask boys to prom. If you didn't get asked, you didn't go.
HANNITY: Yeah, well let me tell you, I have a 13-year-old son. Those days have changed big time.
BACHMANN: And our girls are not allowed to do that in our house. They have to wait for the boy to call.

Nicole, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:31 (twelve years ago) link

Hannity has a thirteen year old kid, eh? I hope the rest of his teenage years consist of giving his dad the world's worst ulcer.

BACHMANN: People do find out [in my book] that I did not get asked to my senior prom.
HANNITY: Well, neither did I. And nobody would go with me.

Re the "referendum on Clinton" crack: a fun poll of the general electorate would be to name a job Newt has previously held. You sports fans always forget that politics of the past is all a blur to the majority.

why is perry always smiling so much? that's not his appeal, when he had any appeal. he needs to grimmace, like he's ready to jump into a car full of commies and tear off their shoulderblades.

He looks like he's in the midst of rhyming off three great truths, and as he reveals the first one, he's very focused.
