Lucky Us! Lucky Us!
Newt Gingrich is back! Oh damn, I’ve missed him.
He has decided that he will not accept Joe Biden as president because the election was neither “legitimate or honorable.” Seriously, that whore used the word honorable. And I think he expected that people would not snort laughing.
Gingrich wrote in an op-ed published Monday in The Washington Times. “My unwillingness to relax and accept that the election was over grew out of a level of outrage and alienation unlike anything I had experienced in more than 60 years involvement in public affairs.”
See, here’s the problem, I don’t think he believes that public affairs is the same thing you do. And ya got that whole 60 year dilemma. He was elected to congress in 1978 and he left congress in 1998. By even fancy math, that’s just 20 years. He’s now being supported by his wife, the ambassador to the Vatican. I guess she’s busy packing while he auditions for a job at OAN.
It’ll be like it used to be – Newt is the fountain of where all cheap jokes flow.
Newt’s idea of public affairs: prosecuting Clinton for having an affair while conducting an affair himself (in private). And: dumping his wife while she was in the recovery room after surgery, so he could marry his current mistress.
1Gingrich, in my opinion, started the seditious movements within the government we are experiencing today. Collegiality died with his fingerprints on the knife in the back…
2Newt is the virus behind the illness afflicting this nation.
3No offense to porky pig, but knute reminds me of him whenever I see him.
4If he’d wanted a 60-year career in politics, he could have had it. It was his own party that 86’d him.
5What Old Fart @2 says.
6Newtie’s infamous ‘Contract On America’ ended up where we are now. With a mobbed up gangster ‘Capo-Presidente’, his Trump Crime Family consiglieres, the Rethuglikan caporegimes Mitch McCon and the rest, and all the MAGAoty soldados.
All of them ultimately subservient to their capo di tutti i capi, Vladimir Putin.
Good ole Newt didn’t leave Congress, he was kicked out ’cause he was cheating & dishonest on all fronts.
He wouldn’t keep writing op-eds of his blathering nonsense or getting booked on the Sunday shows if he was introduced as “…the disgraced former Congressman Newt” with a 30-second recap of why he was kicked out.
7“My unwillingness to relax and accept that the election was over grew out of a level of outrage and alienation unlike anything I had experienced…”
Did Rip Van Gingrich just wake up? Did he sleep through nearly four years of actions which were demonstrably neither legitimate or honorable? Groggy eyed Newt stumbles into the fray hurling accusations at Biden before the President Elect even gets his foot in the White House. I guess it depends on whether Newt looks at the situation from underwater, or crawls up on a rock.
8I agree wholeheartedly with Old Fart, at #2. It’s not the election that was neither “legitimate or honorable,” it’s Newt. He is largely responsible for the poisonous attitude with which our two political parties regard each other.
9Let’s do a little more math. Sixty years ago is 1960. (“More than 60 years” gets us into the 1950s.) Newt Gingrich was born in 1943 and graduated from high school in 1961. Pretty impressive, I’d say.
10Newt said “public affairs”. heh-heh.
11Willwheaten @10, Rethugs are all very bad at math.
12That said, I got here a few years later than Newtie, and was in HS at the early ’60s [was following politics from the early ’50s as a toddler]. We had mock class election campaigns and ‘votes’ back then.
I got to ‘run’ the class’s Rethug Goldwater campaign, nobody would volunteer for it, so Sister X selected me [the poor nuns ‘cross-to-bear’ student]. My solid-Dem dad didn’t much care for that either.
Hey, I know several sex workers who are far more honourable then Newtie.
13Does he need a pardon for something?
14Maybe Biden could ask Pope Francis to do him a solid and have the Swiss Guards find a nice room for Newt in Rome. For life.
15Jace @15, A nice deep comfy catacomb for Nuuty…
