The next was my image of Newt for Rem Duplessis at the NY Times Magazine. This was for a review of his many literary efforts.  It's especially poignant see this now as we say farewell to Newtie this week.  In the current campaign Gingrich sacrificed every shred of credibility he had (there wasn't much to start with) in a desperate struggle with his own irrelevence.  He is now left without money, friends or  . . . credibility.  Just a bunch of books and Calista.  That may be all he needs. But I doubt it. I don't feel sorry for Newt.  He still has Shelley Adelson who can always find him work at the craps table in Vegas.   I weep for the illustrators of the world who will now be stuck with Romney, who you can draw by looking at Legos. Well, anyway.  Thanks CA.

  "Singer is the founder of a $19 billion hedge fund called Elliott Management. And he has a well-earned reputation as one of the smartest and toughest money managers in the business. Over the past 35 years Singer, 67, has produced an extraordinary 14% average annual return after fees, nearly double the price appreciation of the S&P 500 (SPX). He's achieved that record in large part by buying the debt of bankrupt companies and nations -- a strategy that has earned him considerable opprobrium in some circles. His firm, which is engaged in a costly, protracted legal war with Argentina over its defaulted sovereign debt, is so influential that fear of its tactics helped shape the current Greek debt restructuring. Among the sophisticated investors who have placed their confidence in Singer is Mitt Romney himself. According to Romney's financial disclosures, the trust managing his more than $200 million fortune has at least $1 million invested with Elliott. In recent years Singer has emerged as a quiet force in the Republican Party. He's one of a handful of moneymen who have given $1 million to the Romney super PAC "Restore the Future," which so far has raised $37 million and spent some $34 million. Singer has also donated more than $220,000 to 31 Republicans in national races across the country since Barack Obama became President. Over the past three years he has given nearly $2 million to Republicans in local races in states as far-flung as Florida, Michigan, California, and Texas. But his value goes far beyond his own deep pockets. Singer is known as a major Republican "bundler," with a large network of rich donors ready to follow his lead. "All the candidates come to pick his brain," says one party insider."

My opener to the package: Jim DeMint, Roger Ailes, Sean Hannity, Eric Cantor, Rush Limbaugh lead the idiot's parade urging the GOP as far to the Right as possible, as the poor devil eats one grenade after another. Oh, no Mr. Creosote!!!



Never give a bishop a pogo stick. Or authority over womens' health.



Poor George Allen.  Hoping for support in a tea party crazy GOP world that is far crazier than he. And, of course, first he has to rid himself of those damned macacas.



Mitt sits atop a great pyramid of financial support.  That's me on the bottom.

Everybody's been playing with Etch-a-Sketch this week. I mean with the idea of Etch-a-Sketch as a metaphor for Romney.  I got in on this too.  In my latest video for The Washington Spectator I use it as an excuse to show him as a rough sketch, using his own words to make that point in different juxtapositions. SEE VIDEO HERE.
