All in the span of less than thirty seconds, Newt Gingrich manages to play the race card (saying President Obama is a Chicago thug who wants to "mug" America) and sound like a complete idiot (claiming that President Obama is like a dictator because he believes in majority rule when it comes to things like health care policy).

Well, I think that what you’re seeing is a Chicago machine politics approach that basically says, if we can run over you and mug you, then we’re going to get away with it. And I think what they don’t understand is that this is not Chicago. That the United States is not going to tolerate a group of people trying apply kind of a Hugo Chavez majoritarian rule in the Senate. I don’t it’ll happen.

You gotta' love the fact that dimwits like Newt Gingrich are the heart and soul of the GOP.
