Another Cuckoo

Suddenly Newt Gingrich appears on the main stream media defending Sarah Palin. We hadn’t heard from him for some time but he is now planning a run for President in 2012. So he is gearing up.

He is defending her opposition to the so-called “death panel” and “euthanasia” which she claims are part of the Obama health care plan. The fact that last year (2008) she endorsed end of life counseling is ignored. Her reversal just turns her into a bigger hypocrite. Death panels and euthanasia are lies. There are no such fantasies in the health care bill. The lies are used to scare hell out of senior citizens so that they will not support any change in health care. .

Living wills have been available in most states for years and they describe certain life prolonging treatments for patients with terminal illness or in a vegetative state. The decisions are made by the family and the doctor accepts whatever they decide. To twist this commendable option into euthanasia and compare it the policies of an insane Hitler is just vile and outrageous. Sen. Grassley is spreading the same crap and he should be censured or worse by the Senate for his lies. Incidentally, he also in 2003 voted for end of life counseling.

Since Gingrich is presenting himself as a Palin political tutor, let’s take a look at Newt’s character. He is well known for his mendacity, hypocrisy, political trickery, a belief in family values except when his first wife was dying of cancer, he was philandering. In fact he has a history of philandering and prays to God for forgiveness but admittedly can’t stop. God might forgive him if he would stop presenting himself as a believer in family values. Stop lying, Newt. God has spoken.

His advice to Sarah to make a run for President in 2012 is to first write a book which she is about to do. Next make three different speeches. Put in some television time and work hard. This has worked for Newt and he believes it will make her a political personality forever.

The problem is that most people, and it is growing, believe she is a flake and as the Democratic Party consultant, Paul Bergala, has said, she is “about half a wack job”. Intellectually she is not just a light weight but rather a no weight.

If Newt and Sarah coalesce in 2012, run, run, run for your life.
