Newtie goes Nuclear...calls GOP field a "bunch of pygmies"..

[SaveElmer]

Threatens to get in the race if it looks like the current crop cannot save the world from a Hillary-Obama ticket...

Compares himself to DeGaulle...

Well at least he is right about the "pygmies" thing...and a Hillary-Obama ticket is not far-fetched...

Dismissing the GOP presidential field as a "pathetic" bunch of "pygmies," Newt Gingrich hinted Monday he might step in to beat Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

"If, in mid-October, it's quite clear that one or more of the current candidates is strong enough to be a serious alternative to a Clinton-Obama ticket, you don't need me to run," the former House Speaker said at a breakfast sponsored by the American Spectator. "If it becomes patently obvious, as the morning paper points out, that the Democrats have raised a hundred million more than the Republicans, and at some point people decide we are going to get Hillary unless there's a radical change, then there's space for a candidate," he added. "So you'll know by mid-October one of those two futures is real."

...

Pressed by The Examiner about whether his political baggage renders him unelectable, Gingrich compared himself to a famous French statesman. "This is like going to De Gaulle when he was at Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises during the Fourth Republic and saying, 'Don't you want to rush in and join the pygmies?'" he said.

"I have no interest in the current political process. I have no interest in trying to figure out how I can go out and raise money under John McCain's insane censorship rules so I can show up to do seven minutes and twenty seconds at some debate." Still, he said he might enter the race before the deadlines to "start filing petitions.

1. Goodie, then we can talk about his extramarital sex life, too! Again.

[BOSSHOG]

2. The GOP needs newt to bail it out. Wow, its worse then I had ever hoped it would be

[panader0]

3. I'm trembling at the thought of Newt entering.

[Donnachaidh]

4. He's pissed because no one has crawled to him, begging him to run

That fatmouthed redneck asshole.

Come on Newt -- haven't got the balls to jump in without an invitation? Afraid people are waiting for you to do something like that -- and are prepared to rip you yet another orifice?

[BOSSHOG]

9. He shut down the government cause he had to sit in the back of Air Force One

Or so he said. That was proven wrong, but lying must be genetic to a conservative.

Pleast newt, I'll beg ya, run for President.

[Me.]

5. Thank God Newtie Has No Mirror

As he's a grad, summa cum, of the pygmy school of policitcs, I'd be delighted to see him join the other small men of the republic party in the race.

:popcorn:

6. I hope a lawless and angry band of pygmies slashes Newt's tires.

14. Short people got no reason to live, or to run for President.

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
`round here

Short people are just the same
As you and i
(a fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(its a wonderful world)

Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
Theyre gonna get you every time
Well, I dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
round here

15. LOL! (I'm under five feet, by the way. Always hated that song!)

7. Gingrich Would Make A Great VP For Mrs. Clinton

Now that Mrs. Clinton has the nomination - nay, the election - sewn up, she should be looking to Gingrich as a possible #2. He speaks so glowingly of her:

"Gingrich says he has been struck by how pro-defense Clinton has turned out to be at a time when other Democrats have criticized President George W. Bush's decision to go to war against Iraq." - http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/05/13/news/clinton.php

8. Run, Newt, Run!

Get that oversized ego into the Republican Presidential gene pool. Excellent labeling of your fellow Republicans! You can run, as clown-architect, on that "Contract on America" that we loved so much!

[TygrBright]

10. That's "nukular" to you... you're talking about a GOPpie, here, after all. n/t

[jobycom]

11. Well, his ego hasn't changed much.

Dude always think he was the only possible answer to all the world's questions. Still does.

I hope he does step into the race in mid-October. He'll be a wonderful distraction to drive the whole Republican Party further into the toilet. "Mr. Gingrich, can you explain why you cheated on your wife while complaining about Clinton? Can you explain why you gave your wife divorce papers while she was in the hospital with cancer? What are your plans on divorcing or cheating on your current wife? Is your phone number on the madam list, or were you smart enough to use untraceable lines? Oh yeah, and since you were so god-awful stupid and incompetent last time we saw you, what possible use could anyone have for you this time?"

Then there's his potential campaign slogan. "Newt Gingrich--Destroying the world where W left off."

12. You are correct newt - they are pygmies

please run newt.

Jeezus effing christ - could you imagine a better candidate for the dems to run against. NOBODY likes this piece a shit. He wouldn't get 30%.

[Democrats_win]

13. Wicked! I didn't know rats ate their own.

[lurky]

16. As much as I would LOVE to see...

Newtie get humiliated again, It feels a bit like time traveling to 1994.
Newt vs. Hillary: can another O.J. trial be far behind?
