Gingrich Reveals Plan to get GOP Nomination, and lose the General!

WOW! Here is this from Crooks and Liars. Now I know a conservative who already has the answer to the question Newt is asking. My Dad. Since Dad's retirement he has participated in volunteering during the two biggest natural disasters of the new millennium. The Tsunami in Asia and Hurricane Katrina. My father being a master scuba instructor (and I say master because it his title, not because he taught me to dive - though he did,) was quick to go to Asia and help with savage - and since water was involved with Katrina he went down there to see if he could be put to use.

He did not speak of diving in New Orleans, but rather that he too could not understand why all those people just sat on their duffs and let the hurricane slam into them. Then he got the answer. Most of the 9th ward is on welfare, and the hurricane hit before they got their checks - hence none of them had any money to get them passage out of the city. They couldn't buy bus tickets, train tickets, gas, none of that stuff. So this is not a failure of citizenship as the un-esteemed former speaker suggests (by the way did you know he is on his 3rd wife?) but rather, as we in the reality based community have know all along, a failure of a government to give it's citizens the tools required to be good citizens.

Just another bull shit excuse from the right. Where is your plan, Mr. Gingrich? Another tax cut? Yeah, that's what I thought.
