The Newt Who Would Be King is gettin' by with a little help from his friends.
Pokemon-quoting Herman Cain had previously said that he would not endorse any Republican presidential candidate but would instead make the "unconventional" move of endorsing "the people". (All of us?) But last week Cain changed course and endorsed Newt Gingrich. So I guess this means that Gingrich is the people. We are he and he is we? (We're all a bit like Newt, and there's a little bit of Newt in everyone -- especially some of you women, if you know what I mean.)
Also last week the High Priestess of WTF, Sarah Palin, said she'd hate to see a Romney landslide in the Florida primary (the Glove being not nearly nutty enough for her tastes). Sister Sarah wants the GOP primaries to drag on and on in the hope that a "true conservative" might topple the mighty Mitt. Her suggestion to the Florida GOP: "Annoy a liberal, vote Newt."
And there you have it -- two of the right wing's leading lights come out in favor of Gingrich. Having their endorsement really means a lot, you know, because Cain and Palin are super-influential, both of them having recently sought national office. I wonder why neither of them is on the ballot right now? Oh yeah, now I remember -- they're fucking crazy!!
(Side note to Sister Sarah and her wing-nut legions -- a vote for Newt is not annoying, it's deliciously self-defeating. So yes, please, tie yourself to the Tea Bag anchor and jump overboard. Vote Newt!)
