See Los Angeles Times , ” Newt Gingrich tears up talking about his mother “: Reporting from Des Moines— With his presidential campaign drifting out of contention, Newt Gingrich veered from his typically brash, boastful personality on the campaign trail Friday, choking up in front of a group of moms when he recalled his mother, Kit, who died in 2003. “I identify my mother with being happy, loving life, having a sense of joy in her friends,” Gingrich said when moderator Frank Luntz asked him to recall a moment with his mom. At the end of her life, Gingrich said, his mother lived in a long-term care facility, which helped him understand and become interested in brain science. He frequently tells voters here that he recently gave a lecture on brain science at the University of Iowa. “She had bipolar disease and depression, and she gradually acquired some physical ailments, and that introduced me to the whole issue of quality long-term care … and that introduced me to the issue of Alzheimer’s,” said Gingrich, who chatted with the founder of a popular website for mothers at Java Joe’s coffeehouse here.

At Black Five, ” Gloating About Something He Had Little to Do With “: Remember, this is someone who voted against funding for our soldiers in combat in Iraq. Also remember that this plan that has now been executed, i.e. our withdrawal from Iraq, was one negotiated by the previous administration before he ever took office. But that doesn’t at all keep him from using the event as a campaign ad. All in good taste, of course. I wrote on this earlier, ” War in Iraq Officially Over .” And at the Los Angeles Times , ” As last U.S. troops exit Iraq, they leave a troubled land behind .” It’s a good piece, despite the typically negative headline.

From Andrew McCarthy, at National Review (via Memeorandum ): For the better part of two decades, Americans have been murdered by Islamists and then lectured that they are to blame for what has befallen them. We have been instructed in the need for special sensitivity to the unceasing demands of Islamic culture and falsely accused of intolerance by the people who wrote the book on intolerance. Americans have sacrificed blood and bottomless treasure for Islamic peoples who despise Americans — and despise us even more as our sacrifices and gestures of self-loathing intensify. Americans have watched as apologists for terrorists and sharia were made the face of an American Muslim community that we were simultaneously assured was the very picture of pro-American moderation. Americans have had our fill. We are willing to live many lies. This one, though, strikes too close to home, arousing our heretofore dormant sense of decency. Americans have now heard Barack Obama’s shtick enough times to know that when he talks about “our values,” he’s really talking about his values, which most of us don’t share. And after ten years of CAIR’s tired tirades, we’re immune to Feisal Rauf, too. We look around us and we see our country unrivaled by anything in the history of human tolerance. We see thousands of thriving mosques, permitted to operate freely even though we know for a fact that mosques have been used against us, repeatedly, to urge terrorism, recruit terrorists, raise money for terrorists, store and transfer firearms, and inflame Muslims against America and the West. As Islamists rage against us, we see Islam celebrated in official Washington. As we reach out for the umpty-umpth time, we find Muslim leaders taking what we offer, but always with complaint and never with reciprocation. We’re weary, and we don’t really care if that means that Time magazine, Michael Bloomberg, Katie Couric, Fareed Zakaria, and the rest think we’re bad people — they think we’re bad people, anyway RTWT . Also, the typically lame leftist response at Blue Texan’s Crib : Nearly nine years after Wingnut Christmas, it’s equal parts scary and satisfying to see conservatives admits what we suspected all along – they’re a legion of racist bedwetters for whom there was never a distinction between invading Iraq/Afghanistan and simply killing Muslims – even though Bush said otherwise. Bedwet this, you freaking creep:
