Newt Gingrich isn’t ruling out a 2016 presidential run.
“I don’t rule it out, but we’re not spending any energy on it,” Gingrich told reporters this morning at a National Review briefing on Capitol Hill.

“I don’t think there’s any Bush baggage at all. I love my brother, I’m proud of his accomplishments, I love my dad, I am proud to be a Bush.”
–The Smart Bush
(I think we just found Peggy Noonan’s missing Porter at the airport hotel in Pittsburg.)
Zombie-eyed Granny-starver Paul Ryan has rejected his own plan to raise the Social Security cut-off age of granny from 55 to 56, and The Smart Bush is spinning like a top on immigration reform, trying to figure out how far right is too far right.
Yep. The Jockey’s are mounting their goats already.
Hey guys, did you know that the reason the GOP lost the election was because the GOP did not communicate their economic positions clearly? It’s True!, according to boy exorcist, volcano scholar, and Kenneth-the-Page impersonator Bobby (Bubba) Jindal.
Voucher-crazed theocrat Jindal thinks that young people will flock to the GOP if they could just get the right dog whistle message to them because, you know, kids are down with the oppression of gay people and think that corporations just don’t have enough power, and you know, chicks dig not controlling their vaginas.
Actually, Bubba, I suspect that the kids, ethnic minorities, and women (demographics the GOP lost by huge majorities) understand your message all too well, but good luck on telling your base to quit being stupid at the same time you promote the same, hateful, fascist, and misogynist policies.
When life gives you lemons, as they say…
Marco Rubio has raised $100,000 by selling water bottles following his Big Gulp moment in the rebuttal to The Kenyan Usurper’s SOTU.
A source close to Rubio tells BuzzFeed that the water bottles, which were sold on the senator’s PAC website to anyone who makes a donation of $25 or more, sold like hotcakes. In the period since they went on sale Wednesday, more than 3,100 of the PAC’s “Marco Rubio Water Bottles” have been sold.
“Send the liberal detractors a message that not only does Marco Rubio inspire you…he hydrates you too,” the donation page reads.
But on the bright side, I guess this proves that not only liberals noticed it, as was claimed by Wingnuttia.

So by now everyone has seen and commented on Marco Rubio’s drinking habits, so we will move on to substance, or in Senator Big Gulp’s case the lack of substance.
The Savior’s response was pretty much boilerplate GOP rhetoric: government bad, government hurt people, government evil. Where he diverged from the usual script was kind of telling: he spoke of how Medicare currently helps his mother, and gave his father dignity while dying (message: I’m just like you); he also spoke of how he completed his education with $100,000 of debt (message: I’m just like you).
But just as telling was his response to these things, 1) We will kill safety net programs for everyone who is not currently on one (Hello zombie-eyed granny-starver Paul Ryan!), and 2) Students need to be aware of the big-ticket item that college education is (of which you can be assured they know). Essentially, he told us that we are on our own. Status Quo.
The real message here is that Wingnuttia still doesn’t understand that their policies were soundly rejected by the populace, and they think the problem is the delivery/messenger.
Steve Benen at The Maddow Blog tells us that it was a recycled campaign speech from The Stench. And I would agree, except it didn’t have the same sneering lack of substance.
