CNN) - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich won't yet say if he's running for president in 2012, but he picked up an unlikely endorsement Sunday.

Gingrich, a leading conservative Republican, has "a ton of ideas to move the country forward," former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, a past chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said on "Fox News Sunday."

"There are no ideas in the Republican Party right now in the Congress," Dean said. "They're the party of 'no.' They desperately need some intellectual leadership. And whatever you think of Newt Gingrich, he can supply intellectual leadership. So I hope he does run."

Gingrich, who also appeared on the show, joked that Dean's backing could doom his candidacy if he runs.

"Here's my opponent's clip in the primaries," Gingrich said of the Dean comment.

Interestingly, Miles left out a key quote from Howard Dean (talking to Chris Wallace):

Let's just be blunt about this. I don't think Newt Gingrich is a racist, and you're certainly not a racist, but I think Fox News did something that was absolutely racist.

Amen.

Dean was also shown to be a clueless dummy on the same show.

So what else is new?

Amen.

But not as racist as the White House. Hey, they fired her.

Gee, one dumb fuck endorsing another.

That's what I thought: clearly the Dems want him to run. An old white guy from the glory days of the Republican Revolution. Decades of oppo already in the bank--some pretty hard stuff to dance around.

Gingrich/Palin or Palin/Gingrich. Either way, the good lord Jesus is smiling on the otherwise hapless Democrats.
