Soccer Mom: Unplugged

Everyone who logged onto Drudge today saw Newt Gingrich with a full plate of food in each hand and the caption "You're Fat".  Apparently, that is what the Dems are offering to America in lieu of actual policy suggestions. 

"You're fat."  That's what the heads of the DNC came up with while they were brainstorming (a term which in this case must mean sharing the one brain they have between them) for possible '08 slogans.  That's the message they want to get out?  They're rocking to vote with "You're fat"?  Not even "You're phat" (aimed at younger voters, of course) but "you're fat"?!?

Aside from the obvious explanations for the photo (like maybe he was being a gentleman and getting food for another person or maybe he was just famished or maybe who the he** cares what he's having for lunch?)  this beauty of a campaign is going to land the dems in some serious hot water.  Can't you just picture the debates?

And Senator Clinton, how do you propose we handle global warming?

"All I can say, Jim, is my opponent needs to shed a few pounds."

But what more can we expect from the party of name-callers, fiction writing revisionists who are so afraid to lose power that they will create scandal and conspiracy over a fake turkey feed-the-troops photo-op and a handful of misfired shotgun pellets?
