Sta Puft vs Newt: from Huffington Post

During my weaker moments my reptilian brain would like to see Newt Gingrich become President. Newt would take a meat axe, not a scalpel, to our bloated government and strike fear into the hearts of America's enemies!

The main problem is, of course, that he would take a meat axe, not a scalpel, to our bloated government and strike fear into the hearts of America's enemies.

If nothing else, President Gingrich would single-handedly revive the comedy business. Whether because of political sympathy or political correctness, comics have toned down their jokes about government, despite a flood of material in the post-Bush era. I miss the edginess and vicious personal attacks. C'mon guys, root for Newt, your inner Lenny Bruce is dying to get out. © 2012 Stephen Yuen
