GOP Cauldron Bubbles

Thus spake South Carolina, giving Newt Gingrich a win in its Republican Presidential Primary.

It is a development worthy of a Shakespearean drama, particularly Macbeth. See Act I, Scene I, the three witches gather round the boiling pot, tossing in their potent ingredients. Cue the second witch:

“Fillet of a snake that lived in a bog,
In the cauldron boil and bake:
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
A black snake's forked tongue, and its cousin's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth, boil and bubble.”

Chorus:

“Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.”

Beware, Florida. You're next.
