.... is the first thought that strikes me from Newt's latest ramblings.

Gingrich warns GOP of ‘real disaster' this fall
By Jackie Kucinich

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) is calling on Republicans to seek "real change to avoid a real disaster" in the wake of another Democratic victory in a special election on Saturday.
In a letter to House Republicans posted on www.newt.org, Gingrich urges House leaders to call an “emergency meeting” of House Republicans to address what he describes as a “catastrophic collapse of trust in Republicans.”

“If a majority of the House Republicans vote for real change, they should instruct Republican Leader John Boehner [Ohio] and his team to come back with a new plan by the Wednesday before the Memorial Day recess,” Gingrich wrote. “This plan should involve real change in legislative, communications, and campaign strategy and involve immediate, real action, including a complete overhaul of the Congressional Campaign Committee.”

Gingrich then outlined nine acts of “real change” including the gas tax holiday and an earmark moratorium. Michael Steel, a Boehner spokesman, said, “Leader Boehner certainly agrees - and has said repeatedly -- that Republicans can only succeed this year by being agents of change and reform. The American people know that Washington is broken, and we have to convince them that we can fix it. We have been clear over the past year that we have two jobs: defining the Democrats and defining ourselves. In the coming weeks, we will be laying out Republican policies that embody the sort of changes we need.”

Democrats triumphed in a special election on Saturday in Louisiana for retired Rep. Richard Baker’s (R-La.) seat. In March, Democrats also won retired Rep. Dennis Hastert's (R-Ill.) seat in a special election.

It is a cryin' shame that one of the greatest, sharpest minds in the conservative wing of the Republican party has wilted into someone who would share a couch with Speakerette Pelosi and jointly whine about getting our leaders to save us from 'global warming'!

The gal 3rd in line to be President and a guy who held that same office 'til he got run out of town, wringing their hands and telling us we should call our elected representatives to do something!. Wheee Doggies! What's wrong with that picture.

Now in the last couple of innings in a game that the Dem's have proven they can't do a damn thing for us, only to us, and the best Newt can offer is yesterday's bromides... Hang on Grandchildren - it's gonna be a tough ride!!!!
