Amphibious landing. If it weren't for that weenie Colin Powell, we could have already taken over the rest of the world by now. And Newt Gingrich is ready to do something about it.

Huh? At this late date, the very phrase "Newt Gingrich" might suggest that this is a joke. But the Newtster has managed to embed himself within a Pentagon advisory committee, and -- according to this truly scary Washington Post story by Glenn Kessler -- he's taken up the cudgel on behalf of those who think Powell is too influential and Donald Rumsfeld just isn't powerful enough.

In the event that George W. Bush sides with Gingrich, hit "Eject."
