Newt: For When the Bottom of the Barrel Isn’t Deep Enough
Well, there’s Newt. Oh, good Lord, just when you think it can’t get worse, there’s always Newt.
Mr. Impeachment? Newt Gingrich?
Hey, maybe he could bring along Tom DeLay, Bob Livingston, wife 1 or 2, that look down his nose at Bill Cinton’s sex life, and his once last desperate chance at relevance.
I mean, the more Trump talks about a government shutdown, the more Newt Gingrich feels comfortable.
I’ve had a touch of whatever-that-is-that’s-going-around so I ran out and got a medical alert bracelet just in case.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Once again Dotard45 mangles the advice from his legal staff. Dumbass, they said “dot all the “i”s and cross the “t”s. Not find the biggest hypocrite on the planet to lard over the “H” in hypocrisy.
1Yes, let’s add Newt Gingrich to the equation:
Because there’s not an i in “idiots.”
2There’s two.
Why does a politico who has spent much of his 75 years being on the wrong side of history want with the largely figurehead job of being Individual #1’s chief of staff? Why would Individual #1 WANT such an a$$ backwards fellow as Newt as his chief of staff? Especially in light of the incontrovertible fact that Individual #1 functions as his own chief of staff, as well as his own PR person and his own Cabinet?
3I can’t decide if Trump and Newt are a match made in Heaven or that other place, but I’m leaning heavily toward that other place. But maybe they would collide and the resulting explosion would annihilate both of them, solving a lot of the country’s problems.
4Micr, two obvious among other nefarious reasons would be that (1) Donnie misses Hope Hicks steam ironing his pants and Newt is full of hot air and (2) the Vatican isn’t proving as lucrative as Newt would like, so he wants a chunk of that Dotard45 maladministration grift.
Usually mutually symbiotic means like a rat and a flea. Not sure how that works with 2 empty however colossal egos.
5Outside of this article, I’ve not seen other coverage:
“Huawei arrest of Meng Wangzhou: A ‘hostage’ in a new US-China tech war” ^
With another article over at Politico ^^, this shows the White House is full on going back to feudal tough guy primitivism. 45 may really think he’s free to do what he wants, with the right staff. And Megababyhead is scarily enough the guy that started our country down this road…

Has Denny Hastert been pardoned yet?
Feel better, JJ.
7Newt is a serial cheater, a racist, and a hypocritical evangelical so he checks off the main requirements for the job.

Off topic: may soon be traveling to Pahrump to visit Spring Mountain, based on an invitation received just moments ago…
I can’t/won’t in the same sentence speak of both Hope Hicks. And the great boil on America’s butt, Newtie. Pants ironing aside. Plus Callisto’s gig with the Poppa has just got to be soon ending. So you may be right. No one can survive Individual #1’s shtick for more than a year, 18 months tops. Then necessarily must come several months to years of counseling and Prozac plus a medically induced coma. It’s time Callisto, it’s time.
I’ll dedicate Lyin’ Eyes (the Eagles) to Callisto tonight on the lo all call in radio show.
9Two desperate losers who have nowhere else to turn. Nobody else wants the job, so Newt gets his chance to be “relevant” again. Wonder how that’s going to work out for him.
10Micr, be careful where you have lunch or dinner. Some of those sweet little country looking inns in Pahrump are not what they appear to be. That’s where the NV snacilbupeR elected a dead man for an assembly seat, too. https://nypost.com/2018/11/07/dead-brothel-owner-dennis-hof-wins-nevada-election/
In the Donnie craigslisting for a CoS, he really should make that clear that it’s a chief of staff, not a co-conspirator being sought. In the who could possibly be worse than Newt category the nominees are Kellyanne Conway and Matt Schlapp. Whoever gets the job will need to duke it out with the rest of the maladministration for brothel employment to get their self respect back, if any of them had any in the first place.
11It’s simple: Newt longs to be relevent again, he lusts for that relevency he lost because of hubris.
12Mr. Charles R Phillips, a better option for either Donnie or Newt to appear relevant would have been for them to have crawled into a casket and have had it rolled up next to GHW Bush last week. Otherwise their missing and very teensy relevance sailed on a ghost ship years ago. They still have a chance at beating President Obama’s inaugural numbers. Posthumously, as large numbers line up to give them grave side send off showers the color of Donnie’s favorite hair dye.
13I hope the Grinch from JoeGah Comes in as Chief of Staff.
14We can have one more chance at putting the Fathead behind bars.

15While I’m sure Texas has elected one or two deceased elected officials, our real claim to fame is the cemetery vote that elects United States Senators in Texas. Or at least it did in 1948. By 87 votes in south Texas.
Micr: Hey! We should not discriminate against voters just because they are dead!
16Remember when Newt threw his hissy-fit on AF 1 and the country laughed it’s collective arse off?

17Micr, the voting dead would explain Teddie Crooze being re-elected. Ending the IOKIYAR snacilbupeR crap should be a top priority for the incoming House in January.
18OMG – are we never to be free of the narcissistic, discordant caterwauling of the lead vocalist for Newtie and the Blowhards?
Even when he was relevant, he was always wrong. But then, he’s the perfect candidate to assist a prez who advocates for a 21st century steam-powered navy. Because coal.
After 2 days, my queasy stomach was just starting to feel better. Knew it couldn’t last.
19A recent thrum is that Kushner is now being considered for Chief of Staff. That would throw a monkey wrench into Jared’s quest for filthy lucre from blooded dictators to prop up his failing bldg projects since he’d be stuck in the office instead of costing us millions for him to seek $$ overseas. He doesn’t have the security clearance to be Chief of Staff, does he?
(Tis’ the Season for Sharing: I’ve been dropping the medical bracelet image all around comment threads…. Thank you Juanita!)
20So here’s a thought: instead of Kushner – whom Trump thinks is not a manly man – Trump can hire these two more-than-willing cohorts to tag team as Chief of Staff: Kid Rock & Sara Palin. They are both quite comfortable being as uncouth in the Oval Office as Daddy Dearest is. And if all else fails, Trump has Kenye West on his phone’s contact list.
21Oh, please, Santa, give me Chief of Staff Newt for Christmas! Let him be that stupid! (Narrator: He’s not that stupid.)
22Gingrich isn’t just some retired GOP’er, he’s the architect of country-before-party, incivility as a bedrock principle, and burn the country to the ground before compromising with your fellow Americans of a different political party. He absolutely must be kept from the levers of power at all costs. No one human in the political landscape could do more harm to the nation by whispering in the ear of a weak minded and threatened orange doofus than Newtie.
23What’s the big deal about finding a new chief of staff?
Can’t Putin just send somebody?
24Jughead for CoS? Jarhead to Jughead makes about as much sense as anything with this maladministration. SDNY is on the move, so whoever Donnie picks may have less tenure than the Mooch. Go SDNY Go! We deserve a Happy Mueller Christmas.
25every day will be a meeting of the three wives club
26@Jane & PKM
Does make you consider Uday and Qusay/Fredo. Why not one of them for consigliere? Er I mean Chief of Staff?
27Love the bracelet.
march looks like it will be coming in like a lion in all so amny ways.
1) new Congress. D’s house. Investigations, sub poena’s, perjury, shock and, alas, no awe except perhaps as to how some one can be such bald face liars as demented donnies supporting cast.
2) Mueller report looks to be ripening. With perjurer poppa’s pardon to avoid prosecution agian re-assuming his post to replay one crime family’s protection scam for another crime family. Mueller drops report to D house before barr can suppress it.
3) Brexit, arguably an early warning of russian game playing, reactionary party disdain for campaign rules and law, and enough delusional fools to give the election fraud a patina of legitamacy. Come to ripening.
Right now it appears that May is running around continent asking for reason not to ( metaphorically) shoot herself.
Right out of “Blazing Saddles” treats himself as an hostage and threatens to shoot himself. So it is PM save us from our own insanity.
Al things considered March (oh yeah doesn’t tariff forbearence ends about then) should be a busy month.
Chris Hays analogy to slot players at 6 am is appropiate for news junkies.
28With kushner name being bandied about as chief of staff one must ask whether he ever got his security clearence??
29It’s too bad Gilbert and Sullivan are dead and gone. Think what a comic opera they could make from tRump’s time in office, especially with Newtie Newt as chief of staff.
“I am the very model of a modern Majordomo-o…”
30Gasp . . . sort of. I will never forget the screaming, writhing response of Republicans to Newt’s stupidity which cost him the Speakership and his House seat. If ever there were 2 guys totally devoted to my way or the highway, collateral damage be damned it would be the Golden Gibbon and Newt! They would eat each other alive!
31Re the bracelet: why even suggest resuscitation?
