filkertomNausea has given way to hilarity as pseudo-intellectual, scandal-plagued hypocrite, and failed politician Newt Gingrich apparently really believes he has a shot at becoming President of these United States.
The most recent example of the true comic genius of the Gingrich campaign is this official press release, which truly could not be appreciated by us lesser mortals until Stephen Colbert had it read dramatically by John Lithgow.
ETA: Link updated. But that doesn't seem to work either. As soon as I have functional video I can link to, it'll be here.

Date: 2011-05-20 02:50 pm (UTC)That would be so cool it it wasn't trying to kill us.
Oh. Never mind. It's not trying to kill us -- it's trying to kill Newt's ego, which you couldn't do with silver bullets and a Kryptonite stake through the heart. Carry on, then....

Apparently Newt is unfazed by the cocktail party death sheep from hell emptying their clips at him.

I think that we have to give some people more credit for intelligence than I'd expect. Although I wonder about integrity in light of the abandonment of the cultural truce.
