Rude Pundit - Newt Gingrich's Daughter Doesn't Seem to Know Who Her Father Is:

Truly, there are other, more important things to write about, but the Rude Pundit just couldn't face scribbling another "Man, those Republicans sure are motherfucking, obstructionist, traitor dickheads" post. Let's just let it stand as more or less uncontestably true: Those Republicans sure are motherfucking, obstructionist, traitor dickheads.

Luckily, he came across the latest scrawlings of conservative writer and speaker Jackie Gingrich Cushman, aka "NewtSpawn." Yes, yes, the daughter of the former Speaker of the House just wrote a "column" (if by "column," you mean, "the most craven attempt you have seen to get a father to love his child&quot that is so jaw-droppingly blind and so head-slappingly un-self-aware that you have to question if Ms. Cushman actually has ever met her own father, Newt Gingrich.

Because, see, the point of the column - and, really, you need to keep in mind that this was written by Newt Gingrich's daughter - is to ponder the question she poses early in it: "Why are the dually disgraced Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner running for office after engaging in public peccadilloes that would have doubtless persuaded many a lesser man to stay home?"

Now, you might read that and go, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, there, Jackie. Have you ever read even the briefest biography of your father? You do know that there are reasons why he's called 'disgraced former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich,' right? Right? And that those reasons include fucking around on your mom with the woman who became his second wife and then fucking around on her?"

1. Gotta love that Republican glass house

(or is it a cathedral? Hard to tell) that practically invites us to lob our own stones right back.

One wonders about her reason for writing this thing, is Daddyrabbit planning another glorious run for the presidency he feels is inevitably his? Are these preemptive strikes the first in a salvo of "they do it too!" that is meant to take the heat off Newtie's wandering manly appurtenance?

Or is it simply an exercise in self delusion and the desire to believe one's own father to be a hero, far above mortals?

2. Her father is an ignorant asshole. What more does she need to know?
