Sean Hannity doubles down giving Gingrich a forum; Batchelor says Gingrich is called "Fat Elvis" and uses his power with Fox News to threaten congress

UPDATE, 1/22/12: Re: Newt Gingrich: If it's Obama or Gingrich of course I choose Gingrich. Pamela Geller describes it: "He's a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch." Romney was hell bent on losing, would not bend. A carbon copy of McCain who never wanted to win, told us to shut up, that Obama would be fine. Such a person should of course not be a presidential candidate. ed.

1/21/12, "Newt Gingrich Wins. What It Means." Erick Erickson, RedState.com

"Newt Gingrich’s rise has a lot to do with Newt Gingrich’s debate performance. But it has just as much to do with a party base in revolt against its thought and party leaders in Washington, DC. The base is revolting because they swept the GOP back into relevance in Washington just under two years ago and they have been thanked

• with contempt ever since.

Adding insult to injury, the party and thought leaders now try to foist on the base a milquetoast moderate from Massachusetts. Newt Gingrich can thank Mitt Romney and more for the second look he is getting. Base hostility will now be exacerbated by Mitt Romney’s backers now undoubtedly making a conscious effort to prop up Rick Santorum to shut down Newt Gingrich."

Monday, 9/20/10: Without Sean Hannity, Gingrich would long since have passed out of our awareness. Gingrich is a clown, a phony, and an aid to the left. Hannity apparently has the establishment mentality that says, I can do whatever I want, I know better than the people. I long ago stopped listening to his radio show, but accidentally heard the opening of the 5pm hour today featuring none other than Gingrich. Some people will never get it. ed.

UPDATE: John Batchelor wrote of Gingrich, the "Fat Elvis," and expanded on the topic via Mr. Batchelor's appearance on Tuesday morning's Dom Imus show.

• Batchelor said Gingrich harasses congressional members, many of whom have no idea who he is and why he's bothering them. One or more members told Batchelor that Gingrich tells some if they don't do what he wants,

he'll go on FOX News and talk trash about them. Paraphrasing John, Gingrich uses television as a weapon. Today Gingrich the fraud is given a front page post on RedState.com (which I'm not going to link to).

• Long live the delusional, media addicted, establishment elite who silently watched Soros ascend to the Oval Office and the destruction of America, right?

Who in their right mind would do anything but run like hell away from such people?
