The message we ought to give Mitt Romney is ‘You know, we aren’t that stupid and you aren’t that clever.’

| — | Newt Gingrich, doing what he does so fucking well. There was a lot of this brand of liberals and other elites think that you’re a moron, let’s show them where to stick it! talk when I spent my time observing the Tea Party. Independent of your ideological bent, it’s a very effective us/them grammar…call it “populism” if you must, although that form can get a lot more elaborate and is more or less ubiquitous. Newt Gingrich is kinda like the AC/DC or the Shellac of conservative populism, having boiled the whole business down to its accusatory rudiments and reminded us all how little it takes to rock so much. What a fuck. I hope he (figuratively) burns Mitt’s face off, tonight. |
