Nope to Noot.
It appears that Newt Gingrich might have to auction off his butt because it’s his biggest asset.
Newt Gingrich ends his White House dream today with his political committee facing a mountain of debts — owing about $4 million to scores of businesses and campaign workers around the country who fear they will never get paid.
Campaign watchdogs said the size of Gingrich’s debt is extraordinary — and could have been avoided if the candidate and his team had been more disciplined.
Newt? Disciplined? Oh Good Lord, he’s had three wives and a couple of botched political careers. But NOW you expect him to be disciplined?
You know, as much as I enjoy watching Newt be humiliated, with bankruptcy following being whipped by that imbecile Mitt Romney, it kinda makes me sad …. oh hell, you know I’m lying.
I’m enjoying the hell out of this.
Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
I do feel bad for the unpaid workers and small businesses that gave him credit.
Wait – no, I don’t. I mean, you are working for Noot – what did you expect? One of those small business owners he stiffed went on camera and said he would still vote against Obama. So, it’s true – you lay down with dogs – you get fleas. You get what you get. He didn’t even get the irony.
1Will he rise again? Who’d have ever thunk he could find anyone to support him after his antics in the 90s??? Unfortunately, it seems there’s a backward, mouth-breathing, “family values” sucker born every minute, so I guess Ol’ Noot can still dream.
2Always remember when dealing with Republican get money first.
3With as over-bloated as ole Newty is, he’s bound to float to the top of whatever dung pile he is in!
4I love the instagram from the overly optically challenged Callista.
So . . . .they are partying in Tuscany while the vendors eat dirt–huh? Classic.
5Cheryl, my first thought was to sympathize with the vendors also. Then I thought, “Wait a minute, if they were dumb enough to give credit to NewtfrickingGingrich, why in the name of Molly Ivins should I feel sorry for them?
6Maybe Newt can float a loan from loudmouth Curt Schilling.
7Robert A. Heinlein said it best: When a man speaks of his honor, make him pay cash.
8Maybe he could rent himself out as a resource for filling hot air balloons.
9Only one factual error. Bishop Rmoney’s not an imbecile. He’s an out of touch megalomaniac with a giant sense of entitlement who believes that Native Americans are Israelis but he is keenly aware that he can say whatever he wants and the press will never call bullshite.
10Yes, Noot and Callista stiffed a lot of people, but think of all the wild animals they entertained in the many zoos they visited!
11Hi Juanita, when I clicked to read comments a box popped up in front of the comments, saying “to view this page you must register” etc. asking for info. I just clicked the X on the box and it went away.
Just some computer glitch? Or is someone trying to mess with the Beauty Salon site?
12Jimmy’s Pawn and Loan down by the highway will take some of that jewelry off of Callista’s hands. Easy weekly payments on the note.
13I got the same pop-up message when I went to comments.
14Thank y’all for the heads-up about the pop-up. I’ll report it to Bob the Geek.
15Campaign? That was no campaign. That was the Great Gingrich Traveling Infomercial and Egotainment Extravaganza. Newt spent all that time and scads of Other People’s Money just to hype his hyperpartisan brand and sell all his Newtastic products…books, dvds, speaking gigs, self-help tapes, Newt-on-a-Rope bath products and Callista’s line of cosmetics for silicone-based life forms.
I would be surprised if there wasn’t also a whole pump-and-dump scam on Intrade.
The bottom line is that while Team Newt is flat busted and can’t be trusted, Newt Inc. is flush with cash…and also can’t be trusted.
16Oh, this is too perfect. I wonder when Tiffany & Co. will be calling for payment? Or when Calista “loses” her diamond neckless?
17I got the pop-up too and hit the X. It asked for web address and user name.
