Newt Gingrich cannot figure out what to call this nifty handheld computer thingy. i mean, its not a cell phone! it has google! The comments have also killed me dead. I can't believe that NO ONE could have said - hey Newt, these things have been around for awhile and we call them smart phones .

Okay, this reminds me (sort of) of the weeks following my dad purchasing his first iPhone. Every time he'd use it to look something up, he's be like "I can't get over how neat this is! It's like a mini computer right in my pocket!" When I showed him how he could look up streaming baseball stats, I thought he was going to stroke out.
"How we...work government..." "How we...interact with government" "We need to have a new conversation about re-centering American politics and government around the kind of breakthroughs..."
Sounds like he's looking for a common denominator so he can propose regulation and oversight that won't be quickly outdated like a 2003 laptop in 2004. Maybe I'm cynical because the extreme right always makes me nervous unless it's about free guns and marriage-is-between-a-man-and-a-woman.
