God he is an idiot.

3. Flashback - - - Newt Gingrich, crybaby

January 6, 2012

Today’s editorial page of the Daily News revives the famous, lingering charge that Newt Gingrich is a crybaby. That charge had been making a return in recent days after Gingrich, bitter at his Iowa caucus prospects, called Mitt Romney a liar. The New York Times reported on Tuesday from New Hampshire, “As Newt Gingrich stepped into the Barley House pub opposite the State Capitol to meet Republican lawmakers on Wednesday, a protester held a blowup of a famous cartoon portraying him in diapers as a ‘crybaby.”

In fact, that was the Nov. 16, 1995, cover of the Daily News. It is a cartoon (by Daily News artist Ed Murawinski) showing an infant Newt Gingrich in diapers, wailing, with the following headline: “Cry Baby: Newt's Tantrum: He closed down the government because Clinton made him sit at back of plane.”

5. He's going to tell her

"This is what the Russians have uncovered on you.. .vote with me or it gets released to CNN, The NY Times and Washington Post..."

6. What an idiot. He thinks a US senator is going to be bribed by a plane ride?

Like she's never had one before?

Way past time to get this creep out.

7. Most of Us Would Consider Being Stuck on a Plane with shitgibbon

to be more of a punishment than a bribe.

8. Only if I could

Push him out....

9. Ooh, a plane! U.S. senators hardly ever get to ride on planes.

Maybe he should have offered the helicopter or a submarine.

10. Trump was probably playing to the weakness most US senators have -- a belief

that they are presidential quality. They crave for a taste of the benefits, and a ride on AF1 would provide a great opportunity to fantasize. Didn't Sen. Capito vote for the "skiinny minnie"? If so, she has a claim for a ride.
