Juanita was giggling so hard that she could barely pour her forth cup of coffee this morning, “Okay, I am not jacking around about this – Newt Gingrich is running for President.  Of the United States.  Again.”

Addressing a charity lunch of business and political leaders in Frisco, the Republican [Gingrich]called a White House run a “huge challenge.” But he said he believes the nation is ripe for a new referendum on its course.

For most of his 45-minute speech, Gingrich certainly sounded like a candidate.

He struck populist tones with the predominantly GOP crowd, portraying himself as a Washington outsider.

“First, please allow me to explain to you folks from foreign states that Frisco is not the big city.  They are so far out in the country that they think asphalt is a butt disease.  They don’t get the Today Show until tomorrow.  The sun sets about 2 miles from there.”

“Second, for Gingrich to pretend to be a Washington outsider means that it’s highly likely that he’s not messing around on his third wife, yet.  Washington outsider?  Newt?”

“But, I saved the best for last, as I usually do,” she continued.

He said the real crisis in America is not financial, but cultural.

“No, seriously, he said that.  Captain Hot Zipper wants to lead the cultural war.”

“Good Lord, Barack Obama must be livin’ right if this is going to be his opposition,” she smiles.

Do I hear an Amen?
