JUST EXACTLY RIGHT FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. NOT!

You got hand it to the guy. He always tries to find a small patch of moral high ground on which to stand. No matter how tiny.

Newt Gingrich insisted Wednesday in Miami that there was nothing similar about his personal failings and those of Bill Clinton—even though both men were having extramarital affairs in the late '90s. And Gingrich, as speaker of the House, tried to impeach Clinton over his.

Pressed during a forum at Univision—the Spanish-speaking television network—about the hypocrisy involved when “at same time he was doing the exact same thing,” Gingrich was indignant.

It wasn’t the same thing, Gingrich repeatedly insisted. “I didn’t do the same thing,” he said. “I didn’t lie under oath. I didn’t commit a felony.”

HOW STOOPID CAN STOOPID BE? WELL, I GUESS YOU COULD SUPPORT NEWT GINGRICH.

WASHINGTON — How long have I been saying it? At least for 15 years, but in private, I have been aware of it longer. Newt Gingrich is conservatism's Bill Clinton, but without the charm. He has acquired wit, but he has all the charm of barbed wire.

Newt and Bill are, of course, 1960s-generation narcissists, and they share the same problems: waywardness and deviancy.

Newt, like Bill, has a proclivity for girl-hopping. It's not as egregious as Bill's, but then Newt is not as drop-dead beautiful. His public record is already besmeared with tawdry divorces, and there are private encounters with the fair sex that doubtless will come out. If I have heard of some, you can be sure the Democrats have heard of more.

IF NEWT BECOMES DA MAN, WE'RE TOAST.

Amen, CatoRenasci. Not only would Republicans lose in a landslide, but the conservative cause could also be set back horribly.

I was telling my wife last night that, though I would never vote for Obama, if Newt is the nominee I might well vote 3rd party if the race isn’t close just so I can have a clear conscience.

Gingrich is the LEAST conservative candidate in the race and a consummate insider. How Tea Party or evangelical voters could be excited to support this man is beyond me. I feel like a lot of his support is contrarian (i.e. the GOP establishment detests him, therefore he must be just what we need). Well, I’m skeptical of the establishment too, but you know what? The establishment may be a lot of things we don’t like sometimes, but it isn’t stupid. And if the establishment is pretty darned sure that Newt would be a poor choice, we should pay attention, because they just might me right.

Look at the man’s statements and his history, and it’s clear they are right. Choose Romney. Choose Santorum. Vote for Ron Paul if you must. I don’t love any of them either, but we cannot afford a Gingrich nomination.

Stay away from Newt.

BALANCE OF FAIRNESS OR SHOWING OFF POWER?

Taking to Twitter, Murdoch Signals Support for Santorum

By BRIAN STELTER

The media mogul Rupert Murdoch signaled his support for Rick Santorum on Monday evening, calling him the “only candidate with genuine big vision” for the United States.

His comments were significant not only because Mr. Murdoch controls Fox News Channel and The Wall Street Journal, but also because they were made on Twitter, a Web site that allowed for his support to be forwarded far and wide on the eve of the Iowa caucuses. Mr. Santorum was a paid analyst for Fox News before he announced his bid for the presidency last year.
