Nut...er... Newt Gingrich: Mr. Let's Have World War 3 To Help The GOP Win!

Keith Olbermann last night awarded former Speaker of the House and much disgraced Republican Newt Gingrich - a man happy to have Clinton impeached for an affair with an intern while Gingrich himself carried on multiple such affairs and once served his wife with divorce papers right after she came out of surgery for cancerous tumor removal - his "Worst Person in the World" nightly award.

What has Gingrich done lately, besides declare that it was in the GOP's best interests to declare Lebanon - while also going to war with Iran and Syria - World War III so that "fear and terror" would make voters vote Republican this November as well as in 2008? Well, as it happens, Newt's been busy:

First, Gingrich declared (quite falsely) that more than 700 weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) had been found in Iraq (gee, hasn't that ship sunk ages ago?).

Next, Gingrich insists that it is "not an insult" to call those who disagree with the Bush Administration as the same kind of dissidents who "enabled" Hitlet's rise to power along with the advent of Naziism in Europe in the 1930-40s. This is the new message of the Bush GOP and it's a sorry ass one, indeed.
