Matthew Rothschild: Give It Up, Newt!
from The Progressive:



Give It Up, Newt!
By Matthew Rothschild, May 11, 2009


Newt Gingrich is a recurring nightmare.

I thought, when he fell from power at the end of the Clinton years, we’d be done with his grandstanding and demagoguery.

But he just won’t go away.

He helped organize the tea baggers, which isn’t something to be proud of, given that many of them were foaming at the mouth.

Now, he’s making noises about running for President, and I just can’t imagine there’s a groundswell of support for his royal pudginess.

On Sunday, he went on—where else?—Fox News to condemn the Democrats for daring to pursue justice against the highest-ups in the Bush torture gang.

Said Gingrich, in high dudgeon: “What we're seeing now, in a very sad way, is as bitter a partisan attack on the Bush people, as much as we've seen since the McCarthy era. The degree that they're putting specific people at risk for criminal prosecution is unprecedented in modern America." ............(more)

1. Says the man (?) who went after Clinton tooth and nail
while he was having his own extra marital affair, i.e. BLOW-JOBS.

Here we have REAL crimes committed by a sitting pResident and his VP and Newtie thinks it a partisan attack. Newt it's TIME for you to crawl back under the rock from whence you came.
