Newt Gingrich: Bush is like FDR!
You know, I recognized the words he uttered in his conspiratorial "hey, Rube!" tone as English yet, at first, I could not make them make sense to me. Until suddenly they did.

That evil, smarmy, lying, arrogant, punk-assed bitch, wife deserting, Mr-fucking-Sensativity-pressuring-his-cancer-stricken-wife-with-divorce-papers-in-the-hospital, putting blow jobs on Congressional Credit cards, disafiliated rat bastard son of a bitch!

FUCK YOU, NEWT!

Fuck you with your lying assed first and fourth most liberal US Senators label, fuck you and your to-the-left-of-teddy-kennedy meme, and fuck your ugly, sanctimonious, fat-jowled, loose-lipped, chubby pie-hole mug!

Newt is pure, lying evil.

:grr:

32. There are no shortage of well funded, conservative schools ...

... that will give credentials to the psuedo-intellectuals like Newt Gingrich and Conelleza Rice.

4. Maybe this should be a thread unto itself,
But since when have RW'ers co-opted FDR? Unbelievable----all the free market repubs in Congress HATED FDR. They thought he was spreading Socialism throughout the land! And ELEANOR--DON'T GET ME STARTED!!!!

Who is going to smack them down on this? MAY GOD SMITE THEM WITH LIGHTNING FOR MENTIONING FDR!!!

Thanks. I feel better now.

5. The problem with that
Is that people who know history scoff this off an those that don't know history ask "who was FDR and who cares."

6. Various GOPers have tried comparing * to Churchill, FDR, & Truman.
Nothing seems to stick. For obvious reasons.

13. Bushie certainly is no Nero but is a near -miss.
And Newt Gingrich is a belicose, chickenhawk, poseur with delusions of grandeur.

15. Pepperbelly? Isn't your "handle" a derogatory term for Mexicans?
I've always heard Mexicans were called pepperbellies, and I thought it was derogatory. Does it mean something else, also? Not derogatory?

26. it has nothing to do with Mexicans ... at least for me ...
Edited on Sun Aug-01-04 07:49 PM by Pepperbelly
It was due to remarks from righties at one old boards where rhetorical battles took place during Clinton's problems with the gops in Congress, complaining of the heat of flames. I took it as a compliment. I still do. :D

edited for spelling, punctuation, and to make sense.

33. Oh, well, I hate to tell you...
but it IS a derogatory term that refers to Mexicans. Pepperbelly. Get it? It's not used very often, but it exists. Just FYI, in case you ever get flamed for it.

9. A conservative is like a man with two good legs
that never learned to walk forward .FDR. In this case its like a man having no brain letting his mouth run.
Go ahead and keep comparing * to FDR.That should really piss off the conservative base.You could look at his commments as further dividing the repigs.

17. That makes me sick.
Bush can't fill his own failure of a father's shoes let alone FDRs.

20. Repugs always compare themselves to Dems
whenever they're trying to boast - FDR, Truman, Kennedy. They are a pathetic bunch.

21. Newt is confused. Right era, Wrong person. Bu$h is far more like Hitler.
Bu$h has nothing at all in common with FDR.

22. My sentiments exactly
The fact that the media continues to put such a disgraceful person on the air- and the fact that he still pushes the "family values" agenda just goes to show their utter lack of itegrity and their contempt for their viewers.

24. Newt Gingrich put WHAT on Congressional credit cards?

Can we document that and sue him to get the money back? Maybe put him in jail for being an obnoxious lying neocon, too?

30. l would go over there and root around a bit but ...
my puter is old, frail, possessed by an evil demon and prone to seizures so I have to be careful what I ask the rickety sumbitch to do. But the references were old ... around the time leading up to and during the impeachment.

He alluded to it many times.

Or, Britney Spears is like Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Pat Boone is like John Lennon.
Canned spinach is like Caviar.

34. Newt deserves to go down in history...
...as one of the most loathesome characters ever to infest American politics.

No individual has done more to destroy the level of discourse in this country, to so completely elevate feeling and imagery over reason and substance, and been so completely shameless about it, than Newt.
