I'm almost embarrassed for the Newtster.
What a train wreck. And wholly predictable. What the fuck was he thinking? And just how do people get so delusional about their chances? It's kind of fascinating to watch someone tank this fast.

8. He and Mrs. Newster were also showered with glitter at a
book signing yesterday. They need to sell a lot of books to pay off that Tiffany's bill.

3. Yeah, I am too. I think he doesn't have a chance at all now and really he should
just drop out.

5. Too Bad This Didn't Happen 30 Years Ago...
I've been waiting long for this day when this fraud was exposed for being a true hypocrite. No embarassment here, this shitstain deserves all the laughter and scorn. Think about how much damage this fuckwad has created over the years...all while doing the exact opposite in his private life. The arrogant douchebag is starting to get his comeuppance...but be assured the corporate media will do all they can to "rehabilitate" their buddy...

6. I agree with you about everything but the corporate media
it couldn't be more obvious that they're way into savaging him- and he deserves it.

10. He'll Be Back On The Sunday Shows...
The sad state of the rushpublican party is they have few articulate talking heads that can come up with the songbite and/or dogwhistle like the Gnewster. Right now the corporate media is taking their shots but why did it take so long? He got a long ride on his ability to get face time and being considered a "serious thinker" rather than the charlatan and grifter he truly is. In the short attention-span world of the beltway media, Gnewt will find a way to slither back onto our teevees.

He's gonna need a gig to help pay off that huge Tiffany's bill :rofl:

:hi:

9. Exactly! I want more. I want him to cry like Boehner...
forget his private life. The man lies and his arrogance has no boundaries. He is a selfish pig in a suit taking advantage of opportunity. I want to hear SQUEALING!

11. Thank you. I could never feel sorry for this bastard.
My only sorrow is that it is happening too soon. I long for the day when they implode at the perfect moment. After they have gathered all of the support from the right wing so that they have no one else to turn to. As it is, they are lucky that both he and Trump blew up too soon.

I do find it curious however, that the whole GOP turned on him for saying what he said about Ryan's budget. Had he not done that, the Tiffany story probably would not have gotten out.

He got sucked in by what the town hall people were saying to Ryan, and thought he would ride that wave. The working class republicans must have their heads spinning right now because they don't like Ryan's plan, but they see their leaders tearing Gingrich up for criticizing it.

18. the Hope(TM) may be that when they recover from the dizzy spell..
Edited on Wed May-18-11 08:14 AM by Volaris
they will look to the Democratic Party for some sanity. Lets cross our fingers that there are enough elected Dems. LEFT (wordplay intended) to give give them the Governmental sanity they seek.

but otherwise, yeah, fuck Newtie, hes getting a career's worth of comeuppance in 4 or 5 days; the pain must be magnificent. Grovel, you bitch.

7. Ego and hubris
He surrounds himself with sychophants - let's call them Newtons - so he has no clue what the masses think.

Nah, that's an insult to Newton to call Newties Newtons. Newteens? insult to teenagers. Newtians? sounds like an adjective. Newtophants? huh? I give up.

16. People like that surround themselves with people that...
tell them what they want to hear. That's the only way those people can stay with him and keep their jobs.

19. Newt is a psychopath, he doesn't feel embarrassment.
It's awfully generous of you to feel it for him. ;)

20. Well I started to, but then
in response to his Tiffany's bill, he said he didn't want to play the game of "gotcha" and refused further comment.

Oh. I see.

"Gotcha" was OK when he played it with Bill Clinton. Now it's not so much fun anymore.


Go away, Newt. While there's still the tiniest molecule of dignity left.

21. I think he's really only in the race to be VP. Much like Cheney he's too much of a snake for the

voters to embrace him. But much like Cheney he's the type of sneaky, Machiavellian mofo a conservative president would want behind them.

22. Newt, you old lefty
Your beloved Republican party has left you on the left end of conservatives, while the party's been steered ever more right by religious nutcases and teabagging thugs.

Repeat after me: fuck the poor, fuck the workers, repeat over and over until they sing your praises once again.

:hi:
