The thread? Who appointed you spokesman for "the thread"? I know you and your buddies are sick of certain things you like dishing out in profuse quantities coming back your way. Can't take it though, can you Bill? Go write Bob. But in the spirit of reconciliation, a story on the professional, non-partisan leader, who everybody seems to be jumping ship on. I apologize in advance for polluting this august forum again with something other than the prefered outside sources, Drudge and the Washington Times.

Gingrich Is Under Siege in Struggle for Speaker's Job nytimes.com


The energy that many vented publicly on Wednesday as anger toward Gingrich seemed devoted on Thursday to intense internal political calculations about whether Livingston could succeed in toppling Gingrich and whether he should succeed.

While many support him as a veteran who understands the House and has shown shrewd political skills in managing the massive federal budget, others are reviving images of the Louisianan as a hot-head who gave the party a bad name during the government shutdown two years ago and who tends toward arm-flailing in heated moments.

One conservative leader said that he and his allies had reservations about Livingston because he was "obsessed" about trying to keep social issues out of the budget process. The budget, he said, "has been a vehicle for conservatives over the years to add restrictions on federal money for abortion and other things you can't get through the Senate or past a presidential veto. If Livingston is the challenger, I doubt that will cause a rallying of the real conservatives in Congress."
