148. Here is my take on that line from Mika.....
Thu Sep 27, 2012, 02:19 AM
Sep 2012

She said it right after "The Joe" muttered "Sweet Jesus!"

At first I wondered as well what she was referring to, and then I stopped to consider "The Newt's" hubris in thinking of himself as the rejected savior of our country (as in having been rejected just like Jesus Christ was). So, by her having interjected "The Newt's" name in place of the "Sweet Jesus" reference from "The Joe", she was making another political dig at the right wing, in addition to the one she had already made by showing the original clip of Romney's hubris in trying to exhort an unenthusiastic (rejecting) crowd into stroking his huge ego.

I think what she said is what is known as "piling on", and it is definitely a tribute to her quick wit.

But I could be mistaken. Perhaps there is someone else who has a different take on it.

Upon edit - "wit" instead of "whit".
