345Cette fois, c’est promis, juré, garanti : Newt Gingrich est candidat pour la désignation républicaine à la présidence en 2008. La surprise est que, par rapport à la fois précédente où il fut acquis que “cette fois c’est promis, juré, garanti...”, Gingrich est candidat, — son programme politique est exactement inverse.
Mais est-ce vraiment un problème? Nous voulons dire : l’essentiel, c’est le clown, non pas le tour qu’il nous fait, non? Et comme le tour qu’il nous a fait deux fois avant celui-ci rejoint celui-ci, contrairement à celui qu’il y a entre, qui aura à cœur de se plaindre ?
Donc, aux dernières nouvelles, Gingrich sera bien candidat, et il sera candidat de la Troisième Guerre mondiale, ce qui, vous l’avouerez, vous a une bien plus belle allure qu’être, par exemple, candidat de la grande guerre contre la terreur.

«Two years before the 2008 presidential election, Newt Gingrich, the former Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, is trying desperately to grab the national spotlight by declaring he'd be a lot tougher than George W. Bush in prosecuting what he calls ‘World War III.’
«In the latest in a series of recent presentations and writings, Gingrich called this week in a speech at the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI) for, among other things:
»• NATO to “clear out any Taliban forces” in Waziristan if Pakistan fails to do so;
»• Washington to “take whatever steps are necessary” to force Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia to stop the flow of weapons, money, and people into Iraq;
»• Helping “organize every dissident group in Iran” with the goal of replacing the regime, failing which, “we certainly have to be prepared to use military force”;
»• “End[ing]” the North Korean regime if it ships nuclear weapons or material anywhere;
»• Insisting that Congress immediately pass legislation “that recognizes that we are entering World War III and serves notice that the U.S. will use all its resources to defeat our enemies – not accommodate, understand, or negotiate with them, but defeat them.”
»Gingrich's remarks, which significantly earned a rave review in the neoconservative Weekly Standard, came in the context of early jockeying in the 2008 presidential race whose leading – albeit unannounced – candidates besides Gingrich include Arizona Sen. John McCain, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Virginia Sen. George Allen, and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
»Of these, McCain, the neoconservative favorite until his defeat by Bush in 2000. Republican primaries, is the most popular, along with Giuliani, among the electorate as a whole. However, McCain's occasionally maverick ways – such as his support for reductions of greenhouse gas emissions and his efforts to ban torture and other abuse against terrorist suspects – have created tensions with the right-wing core of the party.
»According to the latest polls, Gingrich, who is widely credited with masterminding the stunning 1994 Republican landslide that gave the party control of both houses of Congress for the first time in 40 years, ranks third behind Giuliani and McCain and appears to be making steady progress among the Republican faithful, who have, according to pollster Frank Luntz, forgotten the many controversies he generated during his four-year tenure as speaker.»
La réponse est : oui, il faut s’intéresser aux clowns, puisqu’il s’avère que ce sont eux qui, finalement, émergent comme les Grands Leaders de nos démocraties triomphantes. Oui, après tout, vive les clowns, et imaginez donc un couple Gingrich-Sarkozy dansant le tango à l’ONU avant de décider si, oui ou non nom de Dieu, on attaque les Seychelles demain. (Pourquoi les Seychelles? Pourquoi pas?)
