Open thread: Newt Gingrich, psychiatry and outrage

by Barbara MorrillFollow for Daily Kos

  • A Fox News "psychiatrist" suggests that Newt Gingrich's multiple affairs might make him a "strong president." Hunter isn't buying it.
  • Mark Sumner will say: Meet George Jetson ... the future isn't what it used to be.
  • Armando will consider whether Occupy has changed the political narrative by reviewing President Obama's State  of the Union speeches and the news coverage they generated.
  • Prompted by the box office success of George Lucas' Red Tails portraying  the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the U.S. Army Air Corps (Tuskegee Airmen), Denise Oliver-Velez will discuss the dearth of Hollywood films on the 442nd Regimental Combat Team (Nisei) and their families—many of whom were sent to "relocation" camps for the duration of WWII.
  • Laurence Lewis will express his appreciation for the Republicans having chosen Mitch Daniels to rebut President Obama's State of the Union speech.
  • Barack Obama's speech on Sunday has placed him in the sweet spot for his general election campaign. But Mitt Romney's primary campaign has put him in an untenable position. In a descriptive essay with a lot of moving parts, brooklynbadboy describes the contours of the general election.
  • Dante Atkins will muse on his ongoing battle with the case of outrage fatigue he has contracted as a result of prolonged exposure to the Republican primary.

More Tagging tips:

A tag is a way to search for this diary. If someone is searching for "Barack Obama," is this a diary they'd be trying to find?

Use a person's full name, without any title. Senator Obama may become President Obama, and Michelle Obama might run for office.

If your diary covers an election or elected official, use election tags, which are generally the state abbreviation followed by the office. CA-01 is the first district House seat. CA-Sen covers both senate races. NY-GOV covers the New York governor's race.

Tags do not compound: that is, "education reform" is a completely different tag from "education". A tag like "reform" alone is probably not meaningful.

Consider if one or more of these tags fits your diary: Civil Rights, community, Congress, Culture, Economy, Education, Elections, Energy, Environment, Health Care, International, Labor, Law, media, Meta, National Security, Science, Transportation, or White House. If your diary is specific to a state, consider adding the state (California, Texas, etc). Keep in mind, though, that there are many wonderful and important diaries that don't fit in any of these tags. Don't worry if yours doesn't.
