GOP auctioning off a chance to have dinner with Newt Gingrich

[WilliamPitt]

For GOP, It's Newt as the Draw

Taking a page out of the Democratic fundraising machine's recent playbook, Republicans, too, are offering one of their lucky donors a free trip to Washington.

But the GOP contest differs in a few stark ways. It's charging contestants ten times more than the Democratic entrance fee, to start with. And, of course, the GOP isn't promising a night with Barack Obama, as Democrats are.

Instead, the lucky Republican winner gets dinner with GOP poster-boy Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker who is positioning himself as a 2012 presidential contender.

"If you've ever watched Newt on TV and thought 'I'd like to meet this guy,' this is your chance!" reads a fundraising solicitation e-mailed today from Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

1. I'd be afraid he'd eat my share, as well.

:P

Or ask me to have an affair with him while his wife was home with the flu.

[babylonsister]

2. LOL! Do I hear a quarter? nt

[Happyhippychick]

16. Nope.

:)

[Believing Is Art]

3. Question

Do I have to eat my dinner, or can it end up in his lap?

[Raven]

4. Going, going, gone... :-)

[Ikonoklast]

5. I'd pay money to NOT attend dinner with him.

Anything the man said would trigger my gag reflex, instantly.

[tanyev]

21. They'd raise a lot more money that way.

America! Newt Gingrich is going drop by somebody's house unannounced and stay for dinner! But for only $25.00, you can guarantee that your house will not be the one.


Worth every penny.

6. Can I wear my "Go to Hell Newt Gingrich!" button?

Just found it in a box of old junk the other day, been looking for a reason to dust it off.


"If you've ever watched Newt on TV and thought 'I'd like to slap this guy,' this is your chance!"

Yippy...Skippy.

[Bonhomme Richard]

8. On the other hand, that could be money well spent.

For the right person that would make his dinner a nightmare.

[Enrique]

9. I've watched him on TV and thought 'I'd like to beat this guy'

if I go, can I do that?

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. Main course -Kermit the Froglegs? (sorry ,Kermit)...

well, that's what he sounds like!

[KansDem]

11. So, how are mealworms and horseflies prepared these days?

Bon appetit, Newt and luckless moron!

[HopeHoops]

12. If I get the winning bid at 28 cents, do I have to actually show up?

And I would want to pick the place - but that might take some research to find the most disgusting greasy spoon dive in America.

[foxfeet]

13. That's just auctioning off food poisoning.

:puke:

[underpants]

14. How much extra for a lap dance?

I'm sorry, was everyone planning on eating later? :puke:

[Bucky]

26. DUzy!

I will take the image of Newt gyrating on the laps of Texas oilmen for $1000 a plate to my grave.

[opihimoimoi]

15. Total raised so far is $487.98

[11 Bravo]

17. That's second prize. First prize is that you never again will have to see that slimy fucker's face.

[Ezlivin]

18. I'd like to see him have his just deserts

That would be fun to watch.

(Note for language and grammar lovers: The actual phrase is "just deserts" and it's pronounced like "just desserts." The spelling and usage are correct.)

[nichomachus]

19. They will be lined up around the corner

Seriously.

A lot of the GOP nutcases worship Newt. I was at a local bookstore a while back when he was autographing books. There were a lot of people there. The first guy in line was an otherwise normal looking 20-something. He had about a dozen books and said he planned to give them to everyone in his family for Christmas.

20. Donations from lobbyists must be down - now they auction themselves

off in public like the two-bit whores they are - guess this was what Obama meant about bringing more transparency to gov't

[old mark]

22. Only if I get to punch him, as hard as I can,

several times.
I'd give $10, and drive to DC myself.

Who would want to eat with that fucking pig?

[Ikonoklast]

23. Can I bring one of his ex-wives as a date?

That might be worth some coin.

[dgibby]

24. I wouldn't do it, no matter what the GOP would offer to pay me.

[mmonk]

25. What will they give you to keep the food down?

[stevedeshazer]

27. The new RNC -- Rush, Newt & Cheney

Funny, same as the old RNC.
