  2. “If you think of the Republican presidential race as a marathon, Newt Gingrich has stopped running in the marathon and decided to drive to the finish line instead. You mean the first one across the finish line wins? OK, I’ll meet you there. I don’t know why all these suckers are running. My way is so much faster and it has air conditioning.”

  6. “I see that both Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum now have Secret Service on the campaign trail. And in Santorum’s case, I think it’s the first time he’s actually ever used protection! Just sayin’.”

    Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) zings Rick Santorum at Boston’s annual St. Patrick’s Day breakfast.

    Oh yes.

  14. Ex-NASA exec: Gingrich moon colony lost in the laughter (CNN)

    “With the greatest respect,” [David] Frum wrote, “‘the wonder and glory of it’ is not a very compelling answer to the question: ‘What do I get for my hundred billion bucks?’”

    The answer is that we shouldn’t spend that much, and certainly not for “wonder and glory.” Gingrich’s core point is that we must change how and why we do space by leveraging the power of free enterprise.

    Whatever misgivings you might have about Gingrich, in this case he is right.

    American history proves that smart, focused action by the U.S. government can jump start entire new industries that open new frontiers — from western railroads, to the air, to the Internet - and that is exactly where we are today in space.

  16. The Ethical Spectacle: Not Newt

    “The man is a demagogue. He is a would-be Joe McCarthy, He is the reincarnation of Huey Long. He is crazy. He thinks he is smarter than anybody, that as a superior life form he is bound by no rules, and that he can destroy anyone he pleases. His major contribution in his lifetime has already been to cripple the functioning of government. He should not be let anywhere near the Presidency.”
