The Hammer and Fickle

As reported by Prince of Darkness Robert Novak today, don't expect Tom "The Hammer" DeLay to be hosting any fundraisers for potential Rethug presidential candidate Newt "Fickle F**ker" Gingrich. According to Novak, DeLay's new book says Gingrich was an "ineffective Speaker" who "knew nothing about running meetings and nothing about driving an agenda...It was impossible to follow him." Hackwhackers have found it impossible to follow Gingrich for his entire, stream-of-unconsciousness career, even up to his most recent pronouncement blaming the residents of New Orleans for the Katrina aftermath (see March 5 below). But it's somehow heartening to know that even some of those living on the Wingnut planet can admit to the same bafflement concerning our flawed former Speaker.
