Pointless quote of the day 04.11.12

"... Remember, I've lived through being told my campaign was dead, the surge for Tim Pawlenty... then the surge for [Michele] Bachmann, then the surge for [Herman] Cain one, then the surge for Gov. [Rick] Perry, then the surge for Cain two, then I got to be the front-runner for a little while," he said. "And then we had the Santorum surge. And... I said at the time, 'Oh yeah, this is the new one.' Well, if in fact he's getting out today, we've now survived that surge."

--Newt Gingrich speaking at a press conference yesterday just after Rick Santorum announced he is suspending his campaign. Gingrich says he's the consummate survivor. Then a $500 check from his campaign to get on the Utah Republican primary ballot bounced.
