The voters of South Carolina succumbed on Saturday to the considerable charms that former Speaker Newt Gingrich holds for conservatives. As a conservative myself, I too had succumbed to those charms not too long ago — before we learned that Freddie Mac had made Gingrich the world’s highest-paid “historian”; before Gingrich unveiled his bizarre ideas for bringing recalcitrant judges into line; and, most importantly, before he blithely threw capitalism under the bus in his vengeful rage against Mitt Romney.

There’s a very troubled company out there called U.S. Government, Inc. It’s teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. And it badly needs to be taken over and turned around. It probably even needs the services of a good private equity firm, with plenty of experience and a reasonably good track record in downsizing, modernizing, shrinking staff and making substantial changes in management. Yes, layoffs will be a necessary part of the restructuring. (more)
