The Republicans have discovered the downside to the Citizens United ruling in the person of one Newton Leroy Gingrich.

It appears that Newt’s bit of scorched earth insanity is almost completely funded by an equally unhinged, and very rich patron, one Sheldon Adelson, who had contributed millions to the “totally not coordinating” Gingrich super-PAC.

It still does not make Citizens United a good ruling. It’s and awful, corrupt, and politically motivated decision by the conservative bloc of the Court, but I am amused by how it’s biting the ‘Phants in their flabby white asses.
