No Newt is Good Newt

He is the king of flip-flops, the emperor of hypocrisy, the czar of opinions a mile wide and an inch deep.  Mitt Romney?  Not by a long shot -- because when it comes to core values, conservative or otherwise, Romney tips the top of the belief-o-meter compared with Newt Gingrich.  And it is a lesson conservatives should learn now, before the actual primary voting begins.  For the Tea Party, for evangelicals, for the ordinary Joe and Jane who believe in American exceptionalism and hard work and God, for the like-minded concerned with the path of the Republic -- no Newt is good Newt.

Newt Gingrich is for Newt.  Period.  The end.  This consummate Beltway insider and lobbyist will say anything, do anything, and pander to any and all in his lifelong pursuit of...Newt.  He is a more facile and intelligent, an older and whiter and chunkier version of Barack Obama, whose single defining trait is overweening narcissism.  And just as Barack begins each day with an admiring look in the mirror, Gingrich is second to none in his appreciation of the glory that is Newt.

The article isn't completely damning. The author, Stuart Schwarz, does maintain that Newt is conservative -- compared to Barack Obama.

I suppose that's progress.

He is not The Chosen One...by the Fiscal(-only) Conservatives at the apex of the GOP organization.

While I cannot forget the sheer idiocy of "green conservatism" I've almost liked Newt during the overlong and dubious debate season.
