Newt’s Crazy Kamikaze Mission to Destroy Romney

Y’all will note that Newt Gingrich asks “Who can beat Barack Obama in the debates?” not “Who can defeat Barack Obama in the general election?” I’d like to think this hints at the existence of some previously unknown aquifer of self-knowledge in Gingrichland but that’s plainly preposterous since, if nothing else, Newt’s kamikaze assault on Romney won’t make him the nominee even were it to be successful. That’s one of problems with kamikaze missions, you see. So the only people who really beneift from this are Newt’s other rivals and, more importantly, Barack Obama.

Nevertheless, it’s hard not laugh – and cringe – at this compendium of some of Romney’s more dreadful doofus moments.
