Got to love the Gingrich candidacy. In motions of body type and style, he looks like a caricature of an 'old pol' but without the discretion. His interesting domestic policy of asking his then now xwife to have an open marriage is one way to have it two ways in a three way. But just in case he needs a defense, he is using one reminiscent of a fallen television evangelical; do anything just ask for forgiveness. Just like the recent luxury liner captain explaining why he did not stay with his ship and instead found himself in a life boat with fleeing passengers. He tripped, and found himself in the life boat. Like Gingrich, the captain found himself in a dilemma. How do you make a "this may look odd" moment of life into a ready to apply response? You know. Say anything, and if you have to, just ask for forgiveness.
Markets say anything all the time. Remember the New Economy of the tech nineties. Old rules did not apply to speculation and capital formation. How about real estate inflation forever. Or the financial deregulation is better for everyone. Or the efficient market theory. Or gold is a currency. Or in 2012, the worst of the financial crisis is over.
