Rick Wilson is delirious over the rumors that Gingrich might be next WH CoS

Wilson's posted a number of tweets about this after this tweet from Andrew Feinberg earlier this evening:

Link to tweet

I’ve now heard from two different sources that @newtgingrich (who was at the White House today) is currently topping the list for the next @realDonaldTrump administration White House Chief of Staff.

Wilson waxed poetic in response to that:

Link to tweet

Pray Thalia, stroke your joyous lyre
And kindle Trump to raging fire
Great Pan, blow now your sacred flute
By Jove, I pray he makes it Newt

Later:

Link to tweet

If you oppose Trump, you should welcome Newt as COS.

IT will be SPECTACULAR.

Trump and Gingrich would be a critical mass of the rare fissile material Dickheadium. Both men have colossal, overwhelming egos. Both vastly overestimate their understand o the world around them. Both are utterly intolerant of anyone else getting any attention.

Newtie needs to remain under the rock from which he just emerged. He is vile but politically savvy enough to do even more damage than Trump could do on his own.

Nausea would be what I would feel. Newtie has one of THE most annoying voices, and he is his own biggest fan.

How is wifey #3's ambassadorship to the Vatican going? Haven't heard a peep.

He seem to think that it will be a shit storm that buries the White House. Newt in that role pretty much assures democrats sweep the deck in 2020, a tsunami, it's going to be red ship in the air being ripped apart by blue waves.
