Gingrich running for President --let the fun begin

Did you ever feel you were caught in one of those Grade-Z movies?  That's how this world is beginning to feel to me. Just look at the field of candidates the GOP is coming up with this time around...not a one with enough brains to run for dog catcher, let alone President.  And yet, the Tea Party types believe these people are qualified...probably thinking: "They're just like me!"  (And That is the Problem!)

EXCERPT: Purely from a political-theater standpoint, Gingrich brings several really outstanding qualities to this race. For one thing, he’s a legit threat to win the nomination. He wouldn’t be in any normal year, but when the field is Donald Trump, Michelle Bachman and Rick Santorum, anyone who can successfully lick a postage stamp without an instruction booklet is going to be a contender.
