I haven't seen it up on the wires yet, but heard a blurb this morning (not sure if it was FNC or MSNBC, they're next to each other on my cable) that Newt ("eating ain't cheating") Gingrich is spoiling for a fight with Michael Steele over control of the RNC. All I can say is WOW.

Will Vegas have a betting line on this?

Will Newt have to move down in weight class?

Will firearms be compulsory?

Will it be on PPV or basic cable?

And the most important question is; Which side will Michelle ("you da man, Michael Steele, you da man") Bachmann weigh in on?

I can hardly wait.

I'd sort of like Newt to win out.

He'd be a breath of fresh air! Nothing like a 1980's has-been to bring the GOP out of the dark ages.

How exactly is a dust up between the current head of a major political party, and a former Speaker of the House (reputed to be a leading candidate for the 2012 nomination) not "meaningful" in a politics forum?

Maybe if we didn't have so many threads on "birth certificate", "teleprompter" and Michelle Obama's arms you could find "meaning" in political fights.

Your approach is redicluous asking those questions afterward. It demonstrates you have nothing interesting to say about Newt Gingrich just mindless political banter.

The only reason I asked the question "afterward" is to help out those who are too dense to understand the reason for the thread. You know, like those who start a thread about a "Washington Times" poll that was obvious to even the most casual reader was FRAUDULENT. Ah, I think the key word there is "reader".

You have a link to this thread topic story, or are you just assuming/hoping this to be true?

Are American politics doomed to forever be phrased in the terms of Intern Day at ESPN?

I've found that the phrasing in the title is a good way to cut through the clutter of thread topics leading in this forum. That includes, but is not limited to such burning topics as;

Miss CA's opinion, on anything.
"Teleprompter"
Did Obama order the murder of three teenagers sitting in a boat off the coast of Africa?
Gay vs straight?
Birth certificate
Joe Biden on anything
Michelle Obama's shoes
Obama didn't call on Fox during the news conference
Socialism, good or bad?
Teabaggers who claim that the whole teaparty deal was really against BUSH, but we waited until Obama was in to start protesting.

You know, burning issues like these.
