Newt Holds Newt In Very High Regard
Good ole Newt “Newt” Gingrich was asked the other day if he was going to run for President in 2012. Here’s what the man said:
“Callista and I are going to think about this in February 2011. And we are going to reach out to all of our friends around the country. And we’ll decide, if there’s a requirement as citizens that we run, I suspect we probably will. And if there’s not a requirement, if other people have filled the vaccum, I suspect we won’t.”
What, do tell, does that even really mean? “If there’s a requirement”? Is there anyone in the world more full of themselves then Newt? The best part about this is that, as Chris Orr notes, THIS IS WHAT NEWT ALWAYS DOES. Here’s Orr:
The smart money is that he’ll muse endlessly about the possibility; let it be known that if the party wants him badly enough he’ll allow himself to be drafted; and, when this does not happen, publicly take his name out of contention, explaining that he’s abruptly found himself far too busy with some new organization with the word “Future” in the name. This is, after all, what he always does.
That’s not the smart money, thats the stone cold lock of the year. It is either depressing or hysterical that Newt 2012 speculation will be a fixture of the next 3 or so years, almost entirely driven by Newt himself.
Holla at me
