Newt Gingrich. An extraordinarily loathesome bastard.

[stevedeshazer]

Just saw him on NBC's "Today" going on about the whole "bowing to the Saudi king", the handshake with Hugo Chavez, and no rebuttal allowed.

The U.S. media is a joke.

But, hey, you already knew that. Just had to vent.

:nuke:

1. I hit the mute button.

I am so tired of the MSM bringing on these people without anybody to balance what they are saying. Nobody questioning him points out the Rethug presidents who cozied up to whoever.

2. I'll bet you saw Newt on the Toady Show, on GENBC...

Got to be.

Second guess would be, Mourning Joe...

[stevedeshazer]

4. Good guess

It's in the OP.

:)

22. TOADY is not a typo...

The Toadies on the Today show ran me off years ago...I don't go there!

Edit...BTW, Newt is an extraordinarily loathesome bastard, as are all other republicans that I can think of.

3. Yes, that monolith, the entire "US media," is a joke.

:eyes:

Noot's loathsomeness is inarguable, though. I'll give you that.

5. They keep putting him up there like he's somebody... Does he even have a job?

Who gives him a paycheck these days anyway.. I'm pretty sure it's not us.

[Norquist Nemesis]

7. Who invites his sorry ass in the first place?

Or does he just barge his way in and refuse to go away until he gets face time with the camera?

[gratuitous]

17. Sure we give him a paycheck

He gets a nice government pension check every month along with guaranteed health care for life. We pay for it.

But your original point, why would they put this poisonous toad on the air in the first place? Lazy producers can only begin to explain it. Somewhere along the line, there has to be a big shot who wants to give Gingrich free air time to bloviate.

26. Perfect description of 'Republicon Socialism'

Fatcat republicons get larded out our taxpayer money to stuff themselves silly, while they whine whine whine about crumbs of food for the poor. Ptooey.

"More more more PORK for Porky Republicon Plutocrats, urp, and less less less for the hungry and homeless. Smirk."

6. Meanwhile, the "Liberal Media" scratches their collective heads

about the 'deeply divided country'.

Express your displeasure to them! It's the only way they'll ever get a clue! But, make it crystal clear that they allow Firestarters of the Gingrich ilk to do this ALL THE TIME...Firestarters from the Left side of the aisle, not so much.

[Captain Hilts]

8. He's scary smart and mean as a snake. nt

[indepat]

9. Like your moniker though I probably would have added a MFing modifier

;)

[spanone]

10. did they show footage of bu$h* holding hands with the saudis? motherfuckers

[stevedeshazer]

12. Exactly.

[JHB]

11. Two words told you that it was 100% propaganda, 0% useful information...

"Newt" and "Gingrich"

[Norquist Nemesis]

13. ARGH!!! Can't get away from him!

I had CSPAN on and they start a new re-air of a program and he's on the panel. And it's on Healthcare.

:banghead:

[brianna69]

14. Repugs make me physically ill

I can't believe this ridiculous reaction to Obama shaking the hand of another nation leader. How pathetic is Newt and the GOP.

15. I Can See It Now: Newt Debating Sarah Palin in 2012

Sacrificial lambs, both of them.

Bring it on, Pukes.

[hedgehog]

16. Why does anyone take this man seriously? He's a joke, and we need to

let the rest of the country in on that.

For example, he presents himself as a serious student of history. In the opening scene of his alternate history of Pearl Harbor, a college professor helps himself to sushi in the faculty dining room of his Californian college, c. 1938! Need I say more?

[Enrique]

18. I hope the media reminds people that Newt led the Clinton impeachment

that's not something that should go into the memory hole.

[peace frog]

19. Just wait 'til he runs for president in 2012

and to compete the ticket, Jindal or palin for VP. Months of raucus hilarity for the entire family!

[stevedeshazer]

20. It sure looks like that's what is happening.

He's everywhere.

If nothing else, he's their point man.

[old mark]

21. "..an extroardinarily loathsome bastard." Thus an excellent choice

as the Republican Candidate for President in 2012.

They don't come any more evil than Newt - he is so slimey he can't even hide it. Just look at his face,"I am a shit and I am going to fuck you every way I possibly can."
How he found 3 women to marry him is way beyond me.

Sorry. I have always hated that man, and never found reason to stop.

He embodies everything that is wrong with humanity in one nauseating package.

23. Just remember the line from the Murphy Brown episode

that mentioned Newt Gingrich: "What can you expect from a man who's named after a lizard?"

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

24. The cancer/divorce story pretty much sinks him for many women in my opinion. nt
