This is really the all-time Newt classic: When he shut down govt over hurt feelings.

Rubio slaps down Newt and gives Mitt a quasi-endorsement.

In other news, here's Newt Fonda in 1986, some stunning stuff in this article:

Maybe she is bluffing. Then you might show. Maybe she is using reverse psychology knowing how much she is loathed by the republican base. Or, maybe, she cant believe that even republicans would be dumb enough to nominate Newtie.

Maybee she is Sicilian?

And maybe she's forgotten the oldest rule in the book: Never fight a land war in Asia.

Newt Gingrich: Alinsky Republican.

Newt Gingrich: Alinsky Republican.

Good stuff from that piece:

But if any candidate is using Saul Alinsky's playbook in this campaign, it's Gingrich himself.

In his seminal 1971 work, "Rules for Radicals," left-wing community organizer Alinsky laid out his method for instigating change. Many of the tactics he spoke about -- such as exploiting resentment and pitting oneself against the establishment -- have become a central part of Gingrich's strategy for securing the Republican presidential nomination.

On NBC's "Meet the Press" this past Sunday, Gingrich attributed his South Carolina victory to two things. The first was the economic pain that people were feeling. He then continued, "The second, though, which I think nobody in Washington and New York gets, is the level of anger at the national establishment."

Gingrich's clashes against the establishment are classic Alinsky.

"The job of the organizer is to maneuver and bait the establishment so that it will publicly attack him as a 'dangerous enemy,'" Alinsky wrote in "Rules for Radicals." He went on to reveal that, "Today, my notoriety and the hysterical instant reaction of the establishment not only validate my credentials of competency but also ensure automatic popular invitation."

Though Gingrich has spent several decades profiting from being part of the Washington establishment, the fact that he's been attacked by so-called "elites" has become self-validating.

And the way he scolded CNN moderator John King in last Thursday's South Carolina debate followed Alinsky's 13th tactical rule, which states: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

Superb takedown here from Allahpundit:

I’m curious to know what he thinks Romney should do to remedy that. Should he start a charity and manage it just so that he has something to do all day and some reason to interact with people? If that’s too white-collar, how about him taking a nine-to-five job manning the counter at Starbucks? Evidently none of Romney’s decades of work in finance and as governor are sufficient to pull him out of the super-rich “fantasy”-land he currently inhabits, so he needs to take dramatic action to ground himself in real-America’s concerns. Thank goodness there’s a guy with a $500,000 line of credit at Tiffany’s around to give him advice.

Hilarious Twitter feed: @GingrichIdeas

The Washington Post has called Newt Gingrich an “ideas factory.” This account links with Newt’s brain, so those ideas can be shared with the public. parody

.

Some examples:

Stare at Romney until his head explodes, like I practiced on that cat.

Seeing-eye hobos.

Just go ahead and invade Iran now with some guys from my neighborhood.

Steal $300,000 from Romney and see if he notices.

Train apes to fight our less important wars.

"Ship some IKEA furniture to Iran and tell them it will make a nuclear bomb if they follow the instructions."

Good stuff.

Good stuff.

They're missing something like "Sleep with a staffer" about every third tweet.

Gingrich "mistakenly" awarded an "entrepreneur of the year" designation to a Dallas Strip Club owner. They have given him a lifetime membership.
