Newt Gingrich is so narrow minded that he can see through a keyhole with both eyes.

Mr. Smarty Pants has decided that it’s time to act all arrogant because he’s unilingual.  (I think I just made up that word, but it’s a good one.)  He’s got some odd ideas about the romance languages.

They’ve got a video of a speech he made in 2007 that included this line —

“The American people believe English should be the official language of the government. … We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto,” Gingrich said to cheers from the crowd of more than 100.

The language of the ghetto?

I’m speechless.  In two languages.

Newt, no es como usted dice.

Are you telling me that people don’t have a $500,000 line of credit at Tiffany’s because they speak Spanish?  Did it ever occur to you that if they don’t, it might be because they have good taste or maybe they are not all over conspicuous consumption like a fat boy on a double cheeseburger?

Spanish is the language of love, Newt.  You wouldn’t know about that, huh?  You’ve got three wives, but you can’t learn two languages?  Cripes, Newt.  ¡Qué payaso eres!
