Newt Gingrich is planning a big announcement this Wednesday:

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich on Wednesday will formally launch a bid for president via Facebook and Twitter, according to his spokesman.

I was mildly surprised to see that this had not been diaried or front-paged, and then I remembered that nobody gives a shit about Newt Gingrich.

Well, almost nobody:

Gingrich spokesman Rick Tyler said today that the new media announcements will be followed by an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Wednesday night.

Ah, way to march boldly into the lion's den, Newt. Perhaps Sean will ask the tough questions about how Newt's patriotism forced him to fuck everything in sight.

There is one reason for this doomed-to-failure bid, and that is to keep Newt's speaking fees in the 40k range. I honestly can't see another reason, unless he really thinks he's got a chance, in which case it's hilarious.
