That gangly, gnarly woman was on Lars last night just ripping Newt and glorying Romnuts. I do not know why anyone thinks she is relevant. She was a lawyer in her first life and then started writing books and running her yap. She had her day.
I never liked her; everything she wrote was pretty much one liner jokes. Not a lot of substance or continuity. And then there was the Alice Cooper makeup…
Good, Newt. Coulter has had her moment in the sun and it’s time for her to fade away. Coulter’s makeup reminds me of a raccoon, with those huge black ring around her eyes. She should have stayed with Mahr; I hear he pays for his women.
It is the Rockefeller Republicans versus Reagan Republicans just like it was back during Reagan’s rise. They hated Reagan back then, and when the torch was passed to Gingrich via Nancy Reagan in ’95 it was just insult to what they considered injury that Gingrich did what they never could, or, in my opinion, wanted to do. After all, the “system” was nothing more than the old foxes guarding their golden eggs. It is the same concept with old money. Old money hates new money. To Rockefeller Republicans new money is dirty. To them, they earned their money the old fashion way, they inherited it, or married it. And I think Romney has convinced himself, or they’ve convinced him, he will be part of their inner circle little club. Little does he understand.
As for Coulter, she’s doing nothing but hurting herself. She’ll feel it too, in her pocket. I bet her inbox is lighting up like fireworks with people telling her they are done with her.
Just read a post on Hillbuzz that made such perfect sense–That the entire OWS movement has been created in anticipation of a Romney candidacy. Look, this is do or die time for the Progressives, they have been working towards this moment for a hundred years. Nominating Romney will guarantee the end of this country.
Hayward also notes that in one instance towards the end of the administration, Gingrich discussed complaints about things left undone. Writes Hayward of the president Jack Kemp fondly nicknamed the “Oldest and Wisest”:
Reagan put his arm around the young Georgia Congressman and said in his typically gentle fashion, “Well, some things you’re just going to have to do after I’m gone.”
Ronald Reagan is now gone.
No one, and this is perhaps important to say, is expecting Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum or anyone else to be Ronald Reagan. That is silly.
But to anyone who was present, awake, and paying attention in the 1980s — anyone who is listening to Newt Gingrich right now — it doesn’t take much to understand that some version of those gentle words from Ronald Reagan when he put his arm around a young Newt Gingrich is in fact driving the older Newt Gingrich in this campaign.
Ronald Reagan’s very last public appearance in 1994, coincidentally at the approach of Gingrich’s triumph later that year in winning a GOP House, was an evening in Washington with his old friend and fellow conservative the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In a dinner that re-united the Reagan team with their chief one last time, a small memento of the night was given to all of us. Underneath a picture of the two great conservatives Reagan and Thatcher strolling the grounds of Camp David, deep in conversation, was this reminder of conservatism from Reagan:
History comes and goes, but principles endure and inspire future generations to defend liberty, not as a gift from government, but a blessing from our Creator.
Why did Newt Gingrich win South Carolina?
Because he was one of Reagan’s Lieutenants. A member of Reagan’s Murderers Row of conservative stars.
It’s too soon to know whether the conservative Gingrich or the moderate Romney will win this nomination. Or, yes, Santorum. Or even, if all those panicked rumblings from the Washington Establishment are true, someone not yet in the race — a Daniels, Jindal, or Ryan.
But whatever happens, quite unlike the picture Romney is trying to paint of his prime opponent in South Carolina, Newt Gingrich was very much present and accounted for on the Reagan team. To borrow from Reagan’s farewell address to the nation and the men and women who served him, Newt Gingrich wasn’t just marking time. He made a difference. He helped make that City on a Shining Hill stronger. He helped make the City freer.
Quite to the contrary of the Romney message, Newt Gingrich was in fact one of Reagan’s Young Lieutenants.
With Perry out, I am really on the fence now. I just can’t decide which of these guys appeals to me less – but Newt definitely did nail Ann Coulter on this one.
She even “agreed” with Mitt’s “nothing to get angry about” remark.
I wonder how the many (self-appointed “TRUE conservative”) people who were so in love with her in years past feel about her now. They have to feel very, very betrayed. I damn sure would.

She had a physical relationship with Bill Maher.
’nuff said

Axel-
I noticed that all of Newt’s talk about reining in activist judges didn’t sit well AT ALL with lawyers.
He capped that off by making mincemeat of Megyn Kelly (another lawyer) at a debate IIRC.
I’ll still take Newt—can’t stand mealy-mouthed, smooth talking mittens. Coulter’s attitude is discouraging.

Coulter/Bottomtooth 2012!
Bottom Line is that Ann has started to overestimate her importance
