Newt Bad Idea #4,556

One of the many ideas floating around in Newt Gingrich's gigantic, mountain-sized head is a desire to fire janitors from public schools and replace them with 14-year old kids. I will be the first to admit that Newt's brain produces ideas. It's just that very few of them are any good. This one is no exception.

Nevertheless, there are couple of political points that Newt gets to chalk up. First, he gets to say the word "union" in a very menacing, scowling sort of way. Never mind that we are talking about janitors. Just throw the bums on the street and replace them with children. We know they won't unionize. And if they do, we can replace them with monkeys.

Second, Newt implies that a little hard work from our children will put hair on their chests. Instead of doing there homework, or playing on the basketball team, or learning the piano, they can clock in for a few hours and earn their keep.

Of course, Newt also implies that the work of a janitor can be accomplished by a child. He is obviously not familiar with what a janitor does or how a child acts. But I digress. Newt's ideas are not to be examined. Just know that he has lots of them.

Robert Stein thinks he has seen Newt in a Charles Dickens novel, but I think I have seen this somewhere else.

Newt has a lot of ideas, but they aren't necessarily good ideas or fully fleshed out before he says them. He also shares bad ideas pretty freely; this is part of Newt's baggage.
