    The lit-fuse bomb is Newt. Father Duke though, I’m not sure I recognize him.

    Uh oh. I’m sensing a new generation of “Oliver” or “Annie” coming up. Father Duke?

    This is from the days Ol’ Newt the Brute wanted to take the children of unwed teen mothers and put them into orphanages. Which was 16 years before he floated the idea that public schools should fire their janitors and make the kids of poor families do the cleaning instead.

    I’m certain Duke’s plan involves stacking them vertically.

    Ha! I don’t remember this one. Duke as priest, should be entertaining.

    In my opinion, Gingrich marked the point where the Republican party abandoned all interest in governing for the people and were just there to make them and their cronies rich and powerful.
