The GOP has reverted to a pre-potty-trained state. A 50-year-old essay explains why
By Gary Kamiya
The farce known as the GOP presidential campaign has officially become a freak show. Newt Gingrich, the creepiest huckster
in American politics, whose unique combination of hypocrisy,
opportunism and sanctimoniousness led to his being unceremoniously
bounced from Congress back in 1998, is now the front-runner to become
the Republican presidential nominee.
Having gone through Michele “the founding Fathers ended slavery” Bachmann, Rick “I’d close down the federal government if only I could remember what it is” Perry, and Herman “all this stuff twirling around in my head” Cain, Republican voters have now embraced their latest unelectable stooge, a narcissistic, ethically challenged trough-feeder and third-rate history professor whose brilliant ideas include a ludicrous two-track Social Security option and undermining the Supreme Court.
