Well. The circular firing squad has succeeded in its task.

Romney gets the nomination.

Obama gets his second term.

I’m sick of it all. Tell me why I should even go cast a vote this year. As a Virginian, I’ve already been disenfranchised for the GOP primary. Really folks. I’m looking for a reason to actually take the time out of my day to actually fucking vote in November.

Convince me, ok? Do your best. Because at this point, Costa Rica is looking real damn good. Hell, Paraguay, for that matter.

    I think this will be viewed by most people as a smear job by a divorced spouse. And given the divorce rate in America, I don’t think it will be swallowed whole, um, hog by most folks.

    I could be wrong, though. The Godbotherers will probably be all over it, in support of their doomed spoiler candidate Santorum.

    Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion

    Howard Kurtz, who is pretty keyed in on media stuff, tweets:

    I’m told Gingrich’s ex-wife says nothing to ABC she hasn’t said before — but simply saying it on camera makes it a big television story

    If Kurtz is right and the ex-wife has nothing new to say, I predict a backlash in favor of Newt.

    I think most folks are going to say, “She knew all this stuff for years, has hinted, alluded, and even spelled it out elsewhere, but now, right before the SC primary, she’s gonna try to make a big stink? What a conniving, evil, vengeful bitch. No wonder Newt dumped her.”

    Newt should be able to do a better job dealing with distaff side attacks than Cain did.

    Letter from Speaker Gingrich’s Daughters (that is one long URL)

    The failure of a marriage is a terrible and emotional experience for everyone involved. Anyone who has had that experience understands it is a personal tragedy filled with regrets, and sometimes differing memories of events.

    We will not say anything negative about our father’s ex-wife. He has said before, privately and publicly, that he regrets any pain he may have caused in the past to people he loves.

    ABC News or other campaigns may want to talk about the past, just days before an important primary election. But Newt is going to talk to the people of South Carolina about the future– about job creation, lower taxes, and about who can defeat Barack Obama by providing the sharpest contrast to his damaging, extreme liberalism. We are confident this is the conversation the people of South Carolina are interested in having.

    Our father is running for President because of his grandchildren – so they can inherit the America he loves. To do that, President Obama must be defeated. And as the only candidate in the race, including Obama, who has actually helped balance the national budget, create jobs, reform welfare, and cut taxes and spending, Newt felt compelled to run – to serve his country and safeguard his grandchildren’s future.

    Don’t vote. Move to Costa Rica.

    Take a Baldwin with you.
