Washington (CNN) – At least five members of Newt Gingrich’s senior campaign staff resigned Thursday, sources told CNN, but the Republican presidential candidate pledged he would start his campaign “anew.”
My bet? No gifts from Tiffany’s.
Plus, I’ve heard from two women that he’s real hard to get along with.

I have often said that the only reason I write a non-blog is to read the comments. I have the best commenters on the web.
Israeli researchers found that when people overheard anger conveyed in a sarcastic way, they were better able to solve creative problems, according to a recent report in the Journal of Applied Psychology.
I am not terribly creative, but apparently I am a carrier.
Sarcasm is just another of the free friendly services offered here at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.

Over 24,000 e-mail messages to and from former Alaska governor Sarah Palin during her tenure as Alaska’s governor will be released Friday. That’s a lot of email for us to review so we’re looking for some help from Fix readers to analyze, contextualize, and research those emails right alongside Post reporters over the days following the release.
History buffs may want to stand down. It might be frightening.

Folks in these parts know for sure that Juanita is not a fan of Texas State Senator Dan Patrick.
“That man is as worthless as cornflake recipes,” she sighs at the mention of his name.
He may well be the the Prince of Pander on Pander Hill. He’s also thinking that Texas Republicans are dumber than bean dip. He is, of course, right.
Dan The Pander Man
Dan is heavily pondering on running for United States Senate. Now, the front runner for the GOP nomination is a guy named David Dewhurst, who is the Lt. Governor of Texas. Dewhurst has not announced yet because the Lege is still in session.
So, real quick like, before the Lege ends and Dewhurst announces, Dan Patrick runs out and commissions a poll. The poll gives him 19% of the vote, with the next highest guy getting 11%. And even though 58% of the people polled said, “Are you stinkin’ kidding? These jokers are my only choices?” Dan Patrick announced himself as the front runner for United States Senate among Republicans.
So, he’d strutting around the state capitol with his pudgy little chin all stuck out and hasn’t a clue that everybody is snickering.

You knew it was just a matter of time.
Sarah Palin’s chief of staff blasted Michele Bachmann strategist Ed Rollins today after Rollins criticized the former Alaska governor and suggested to POLITICO that his candidate would benefit by comparison to her
But the best part was to come.
Bachmann will “be so much more substantive,” Rollins said. “People are going to say, ‘I gotta make a choice and go with the intelligent woman who’s every bit as attractive.’”
Oh yeah, Bachmann is like the valedictorian of nonsense.
But leave it to Republican men to say, “IQ points only matter if two women are equal in the most important aspect – attractiveness.”
Cripes. These two gotta have mimbos (male bimbos) do their fighting for them.

I was having lunch with a friend of mine who is a mental health professional. Okay, so quit laughing.
Anyway, this friend and I were discussing Rick Perry’s upcoming Come To Jesus and Vote Republican Tent Revival and she asked me, “Do you think Rick Perry has a messianic complex?”
“No,” I replied, “he’s too dumb to have anything complex.”
Reliant Stadium is big enough to hold an indoor deer hunt. Rick is planning on filling it with people to holler at Jeeesus and to adore Rick Perry. I’m not saying his ego is big, but you could use it to jump-start a nuclear submarine.
First off, let me explain that this is a pray and don’t eat all day function. That’s just damn unTexan. In Texas, you can’t have any manner of people gettin’ together without food being involved. Even Juanita knows that every child in Texas learns to eat fried chicken on a blanket on the church grounds. And, most Baptist churches in Texas have a bigger reception hall than sanctuary. Covered dishes are a sacrament in Texas.
So, in order to fill up Reliant Stadium, Rick Perry has had to associate with some odd groups. Like, for odd example, The American Family Association, which is listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
AFA insists that the “seculars” pick on them because they are Christians. There is hardly nothing creepier than whiny extremist Christians. Ho Boy, you’d think we were feeding them to the lions daily. They think gay people are gay just to piss them off, and women only want equal pay for equal work because it’s anti-Christian.
So, AFA insists they are normal and all the rest of us are crazy. Not even to mention that hell thing. Rick Perry says that all people of all faiths are invited to his Six Flags Over Jesus event, but maybe not.
But Wildmon, AFA’s president, stressed the Christian nature of the event and said people of other religions were “free to have their own events.” He insisted his group did not hate anyone, but he said that people who do not embrace Christianity were headed for eternal damnation.
“It’s not just Jews or Muslims,” Wildmon said. “It’s anybody that rejects the free gift of salvation through Christ. The Bible teaches there’s heaven and hell. Those who believe go to heaven. Those who don’t go to hell.”
Don’t you think he seems a tad too gleeful about all this going to hell stuff?
But, Rick Perry is running for President so his giveadamner is broken. He’s willing to cahoot with anybody who can get warm bodies to Reliant Stadium.
One other thing: Rick says this event will not be political. The event coordinator is Wayne Hamilton.
Wayne Hamilton is the founding partner of San Jacinto Public Affairs. Hamilton was senior aide to Congressman Joe Barton as well as serving three State Chairmen. He served as Governor Rick Perry’s Executive Director of the 2003 and 2007 Texas Inaugural Committees and currently working with events and consulting for the Governor in Austin, Texas.
Yeah, sure. Not political. Not at all. Nope. Not. political.
