The Daily Newt

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Ames, Ia. – Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich briefly stopped a campaign event here to shut off his phone as his ringtone sounded ABBA’s “Dancing Queen.”

For those who have forgotten the 70’s, here’s a tune you won’t be able to get out of your head all day.

Very Presidential, Newt.  That’ll scare the hell out of the Taliban.

Juanita says she will never fully recover from the thought of Newt Gingrich dancing to ABBA.  Never.

Bubba’s Stalker: Day Three in a Row

Y’all, we must be doing a helluva job because Bubba just won the trifecta of honor. We Democrats are really hacking off the right.

Mr. Rushette is perseverating.  He comes like the newspaper, every day.  His latest scissor job is complaining that the poorest cities in America are run by Democrats.


Annise Parker, Mayor of Houston

Of course his facts are wrong, but most stunning is that he did not consider the city in which he lives.  Houston has not had a Republican mayor since before our current mayor was born.  And our current mayor is not just a Democrat, she’s a female Democrat, and hold on to your socks – she’s a female Democrat who is openly gay.  And has a 4 digit IQ.  And, she is beautiful.

Houston has been left with our heads above water by the superior planning of Democratic mayors.  Okay, so we have a crappy baseball team, but if they’d let Annise play clean up hitter, we’d be pennant-bound.

Mr. Rushette’s borrowed thoughts also included the statement that wealth is good.  How would he know?  He can’t even afford to buy a name.

And yes, the email is from Cameron again.  This should serve as a warning.  If you hire Republicans, they don’t work.  They play on the internet machine all day, passing around emails.

The Daily Newt

Oh, dear.

Newt Gingrich’s catastrophic first week as an official Republican primary candidate may knock him out of the race before it even gets started. And if he stays in, fundraising will now be much more difficult, and that could hasten his exit, Republican sources said.

I give it a week, 10 days tops.

And I hate that because this is fun.

Dude, I Feel the Same Way

Up until this very minute, when Janette just told me, I did not know that the United States Secret Service had a Twitter account.

They do.  And it’s very classy.

The Secret Service is apologizing Wednesday after an employee’s personal dislike for Fox News landed in an official tweet.

The message, posted Wednesday on the @SecretService Twitter account read, “Had to monitor Fox for a story. Can’t. Deal. With. The. Blathering.”

According to the agency, the tweet was “immediately removed” and an “internal follow-up” is underway.

“An employee with access to the Secret Service’s Twitter account, who mistakenly believed they were on their personal account, posted an unapproved and inappropriate tweet,” read a statement from the U.S. Secret Service.

Give that agent a raise for good taste and intelligence!  I completely understand.  I would rather test a bulletproof vest than watch FOX.

Bubba’s Stalker

Bubba’s stalker is back.

Bubba  got more snail mail from his anonymous stalker, Mr. Rushette.  It arrived yesterday.  Same return address, 4203 Fannin in Houston, which Ralph tracked down as the NAACP Family Technology Center.  It’s apparently Mr. Rushette’s cute little way of letting us know that there are actual black people in Houston. No, seriously, there are.  And no tellin’ what they’re up to at that there Family Technology Center.  Honey, those three words strike fear in the hearts of redneck stalkers.

This envelope only had two things in it, but it did have something new – a Ronald Reagan postage stamp.  Bubba says that’s a clue that there’s something ignorant inside.

Now, you’ll notice that Mr. Rushette carefully cut off who sent him the email that he sent Bubba by regular mail because forwarding emails is apparently above Mr. Rushette’s pay grade.  By the way, Bubba’s email address is far easier to come by than his home snail mail address.

But, the lamebrain didn’t bother to cut off the bottom.   Apparently, the employees of Cameron have nothing better to do than send around goofy emails. And, yeah, of course I’m mailing it to Cameron tomorrow.  You know you would, too.

And, once again, Mr. Rushette, like the vast majority of Republicans, has not one single original thing to say.

It’s grand fun to be Bubba.
