Don't you just love when somebody reminds you that you're dumb for not thinking they're as smart as they think they are? (Did you get all that?). Also, don't you just love people who get into games with twisted rules and then complain about it despite the fact they knew those rules when they got into it? You know, like all those people whining about Alabama in the BCS title game.
"We are at the edge of such extraordinary opportunities and it is so hard to get this party to understand it,” the former House speaker told more than 500 Republicans assembled in a ballroom here for the Northwest Suburban Republican Lincoln Day Dinner. “We’re at the edge of extraordinary opportunities. We can provide for the American people such a dramatically better future that it’s almost unimaginable.”
Newt is so fat that he now refers to himself as "we."
“And our political system is so methodically and deliberately stupid – and I use that word deliberately, the willful avoidance of knowledge -- that it’s astonishing,” he added.
Our political system is stupid. It allows a neophyte without a day's experience to get elected President, permits someone to run for the office solely because her husband once had the job or because she's a pretty hot looking chick for an Alaska governor...and it allows a dumb bell who once shut down the government over his seating arrangement and hasn't held office in 14 years to be "one of the frontrunners" for a nomination.
The political system is stupid. Then again, so are many of the people who win (or lose) offices within that system.
