Is is me, or does Newt Gingrich seem like an Evil Pompous Fucked-up 1%er Rat-Fucker?

[NYC_SKP]

:mad:

Do NOT let this Fucker ANYWHERE NEAR the Whitehouse!!!

1. No - it's just you

:evilgrin:

[dembotoz]

2. beat me to it

[hobbit709]

3. Pretty accurate description, Id say.

[lunatica]

4. Here's the best description of him I've ever read

Sorry, no link.

Newt Gingrich, who would put a hot-air balloon to shame with all his smug bloviation, is rising to the top of the polls like fat globules in three-day-old soup.

Mr. Pomposity is a master of the erudite, faux-intellectual sneer, and much of what he says, though ultimately incoherent, sounds very compelling. His condescending verbiage is littered with derogatory references, such as “European Socialism”, “Saul Alinsky”, and “Kenyan neo-colonial behavior”, as if any of his followers (or anyone else for that matter) actually understand what these mean. Hypnotized by Gingrich’s arrogant, all-knowing tone rather than any rational substance, the partisans of the right can be depended upon to succumb to any excuse for righteous outrage.

10. Perfect. That's from "Nancy's Starlight News Blog", Here's an excerpt and a link:

Marshmallow Fluff

November 15, 2011

A new flavor-of-the-month is emerging out of the sludge known as the Republican presidential nominating process. Shall we call it Vanilla Flake? Or maybe Marshmallow Fluff? In any event, Newt Gingrich, who would put a hot-air balloon to shame with all his smug bloviation, is rising to the top of the polls like fat globules in three-day-old soup.

Mr. Pomposity is a master of the erudite, faux-intellectual sneer, and much of what he says, though ultimately incoherent, sounds very compelling. His condescending verbiage is littered with derogatory references, such as “European Socialism”, “Saul Alinsky”, and “Kenyan neo-colonial behavior”, as if any of his followers (or anyone else for that matter) actually understand what these mean. Hypnotized by Gingrich’s arrogant, all-knowing tone rather than any rational substance, the partisans of the right can be depended upon to succumb to any excuse for righteous outrage.

We have an unconfirmed birth time for Gingrich: 11:45 PM, on June 17, 1943, in Harrisburg, Pa. Thus, any aspects involving the Moon, the Ascendant, or the Midheaven are not fully reliable. Nonetheless, we persevere.

With four planets in Gemini and an Aquarius Ascendant, Gingrich lives in the world of ideas, and is an inordinately successful orator and writer. However, his Sun (26Gemini02) is opposite the Moon (25Sagittarius10), together making a T-square with Neptune (29Virgo17), pushing Gingrich toward a lifetime of hyperbolic phrasing designed more to agitate than to inform rationally. The key to understanding Neptune is that it creates the illusion of things without the substance. It can bring self-deception as well as the deception of others, usually through exaggerated emotions, wishful thinking, and distorted facts.

11. I was

trying to be discreet.

[PearliePoo2]

17. "the sludge known as the Republican presidential nominating process"

Well said! :applause: :rofl:

[whathehell]

19. As an addition to, or shorthand for, your description:

"He's what dumb people think a smart man sounds like".

I don't know who said it, but I'd say it summarizes things nicely.:evilgrin:

[CrispyQ]

23. That made me laugh.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[whathehell]

34. Thanks...I found it funny, myself

even if it IS five days out of date, according to some :hippie:

[lunatica]

25. Paul Krugman said it

http://patdollard.com/2011/11/paul-krugman-gingrich-is-what-stupid-people-think-a-smart-person-sounds-like/

[BlueIris]

5. Definitely not just you. But frankly, that is a label I would apply to virtually all candidates. nt

[fascisthunter]

6. yup, yup.... he's a sick fucked up 1%er

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. I can't imagine why you think Newt is an evil pompous fucked-up 1%er ratfucker

when in fact he is a mean, arrogant, bloated douchenozzle.

[teddy51]

8. You missed arrogant as hell! n/t

[madokie]

9. Spot on

Its the money he's really after. I think he is smart enough to know he has about a one chance in 350,000,000 of getting a foot in the door of the white house.

[Glimmer of Hope]

12. Yes. And he ruins all the fun during debates.

[cali]

13. I'd love it if the newtser got the repub nomination

he's enormously unlikable- always a good thing in a repub presidential candidate.

[Ikonoklast]

14. I'm always amazed at those who call him 'smart'.

If one actually listens to what is said when he speaks, it makes little or no actual sense.

He'll make obscure references to Confederate military action at Chancellorsville when asked about what role the IMF should play in Nigeria.

[whathehell]

20. Someone said..

"He's what dumb people think a smart person sounds like".

[NYC_SKP]

22. I heard that too on the teevee. Spot on: "He's what dumb people think a smart person sounds like"

That's just another layer of how troublesome this is, the very existence of the tea party requires ignorance, often willful ignorance.

26. It was Paul Krugman and he said it 5 days ago

http://patdollard.com/2011/11/paul-krugman-gingrich-is-what-stupid-people-think-a-smart-person-sounds-like/

33. Oh Gee...I'm I late to the party, then?

Thanks for the link.

53. I call that the "Billy Graham" effect. My mother, though not Christian ...

...always said, "That Billy Graham is a brilliant man." And then they broadcast one of his "Crusades." And to my adolescent, but critical mind he was speaking nonsense. I mean it was just drivel, unless you believed it meant something. My mother had mistaken "brilliant sounding" for brilliant.

Newt is what has come down through the ages to be known as a bullshit artist. He is a very skillful one, because he can bedazzle a whole lot of people with little to offer.

--imm

[movingviolation]

15. And here I was thinking he was just a dick.

Of course, he gives dicks a bad name.




:beer:

[HappyMe]

16. Not just you. nt

[JoePhilly]

18. He needed that giant flag to make his head look normal sized.

[HopeHoops]

21. His dinky wouldn't be large enough to fuck a rat.

Besides, he prefers Botox corpses.

[Aerows]

24. You forgot thin-skinned, idiotic and adulterous

Just wanted to make sure you included those :)

[ladjf]

27. Your description of him was too kind. He is worse than you have said.

[Chipper Chat]

29. Jabba The Newt

[ladjf]

32. Even worse than that. At least JTH was funny at times.nt

[Gman]

28. The thing is, I'm sure Newt is not part of the 1%

although he does their bidding.

[Ikonoklast]

38. He's one of their Useful Tools.

Give him few shiny baubles, a younger wife every ten years, and he's happy.

[NYC_SKP]

39. Depending upon how you define it, I think he may well be. Households with $350,000 and up income.

The top 1% of household incomes is $350,000 and higher.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class_in_the_United_States#Income

I'm pretty confident his household brings in that much and more.

:shrug:

[Gman]

49. I was thinking more in terms of his net worth

High end investor class types worth billions.

[begin_within]

30. They brought back "Contract with America?"

They are truly brain-dead.

[SalviaBlue]

31. No, I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Newt Gingrich seems like an Evil Pompous Fucked-up 1%er Rat-Fucker.

[kestrel91316]

35. That's a misprint. It's "Contract ON America".

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

36. Newt Gingrich isn't well enough endowed to fuck rats

He's had to content himself with mice. Otherwise, this splended example of American manhood is a suave, debonair, bonvivant man-about-town, so it must be you.

[blue neen]

58. !!!!

Excellent comment! :)

:toast:

[eppur_se_muova]

37. Newt is more verbose than intelligent.

When we have the precedence of Bu**sh** being unable to string even one coherent sentence together, except on the same principle that allows even a broken clock to be right twice a day, plus the gaffe-generating subroutines that populate the heads of his rivals for the nomination, Newt seems like a genius in comparison -- but ONLY by comparison. If you keep setting the bar lower, eventually, one Republican will pass. But you don't declare him some kind of champion -- rather, you recognize that the Republican Party is intellectually bankrupt.

[Fire Walk With Me]

40. I'm amused that as he ages, he more and more resembles

The Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man.

But your description is spot-on. :applause:

[NYC_SKP]

45. He's like a characature of I don't know what, I think he'd be frightening in person!

:hi:

[in_cog_ni_to]

41. You've got him pegged! K&R! n/t

[Octafish]

42. Language: A Key Mechanism of Control

You're too kind, NYC_SKP. You should see the people Noot works for. Now there's evil. And they pay for his brain, "as is."

Remember his words to use when describing Democrats and repuglians? Language -- A Key Mechanism of Control.

[whatchamacallit]

43. Diversion, distraction, charade...

Sorry, highlighting the clown-fuck antics of the GOP will not succeed in getting everybody back on the Two-Party Fail Bus. :hi:

[NYC_SKP]

44. Oh, you mean the bullshit distractions about how the DHS is orchestrating violence at UC Davis?

...and elsewhere?

:rofl:

[whatchamacallit]

46. The extent of DHS involvement is unknown to me

and you.

[NYC_SKP]

47. My point precisely. Let's keep our efforts based in facts, not suppositions.

:thumbsup:

:toast:

[whatchamacallit]

48. Agreed!

:)

[Tom Ripley]

50. To me, "Professor Gingrich" has always come off like a ballyhoo medicine show pitchman

peddling miracle tonic.
He doesn't have that modern post 1960 election campaign image.
He comes off much cruder.

[backscatter712]

51. To quote Dylan Moran

"He is so fucking crooked he sleeps on a spiral staircase! So thoroughly corrupt every time he smiles an angel gets gonorrhea!"

(Granted, he was talking about Berlusconi, but the same sentiment is true about Newt.)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

52. Is is isn't isn't just you.

[bahrbearian]

54. Are you really a moderator?

[sarcasmo]

55. A million plus dollars from Freddie, I would say yes he is a 1% fucker.

[callous taoboy]

56. I wish Bill Hicks was alive to dissect the shit out of that asshole.

[jimlup]

57. No self respecting Rat would have sex with that sub slime

[tavalon]

59. No, it's not just you.

Thank goodness.

[Zorra]

60. He gives me the creeps. nt

[southerncrone]

61. It's not just you......many of us recognize him to be just that!

Arrogant slime.

[DCKit]

62. I've seen pictures of some of the rats. You aren't alone. nt

[Fire Walk With Me]

63. I was out #Occupying all day, and I wanted to express how happy it makes me

that this thread is still on the first page.
