Gingrich: Bill Clinton has grown on me--Obama not so much

[WI_DEM]

In a radio interview, Newt Gingrich said Bill Clinton was "an Arkansas moderate in a liberal party, who had a pretty good common sense understanding of the average person" and a "very down home Arkansas kind of guy when you talk to him," Politico reports.

In contrast, he said President Obama is "a Harvard, Columbia, University of Chicago elitist from the most expensive private school in Hawaii, who lives in an elite, radical worldview in his head."

However, as First Read points out, Gingrich once called Clinton "a very smart, very clever tactician whose core system of activity is a combination of counterculture and McGovern... he and his wife were counterculture at Yale... They really are left-wing elitists..."

1. New game, drink everytime Newt says "elite" or "elitist."

And if he says it multiple times in one sentence, you have to take another drink.

2. ......

.....

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Hey Newt I hear there is a hot new blonde interning at the White House. Maybe you should get your "patriotism" on...

[hlthe2b]

3. Just can't get past teh "black," eh, Newt, the racist?

[monmouth]

6. And he just knows deep down Obama is a brazillion times smarter

than he is, which has to really annoy the hell right out of him. I love it. Newtie is NOT the smartest guy in the room....Ooooooooh, ouch!

[GoCubsGo]

25. Which is one of the many reasons why if I were President Obama...

...I would consider it a supreme compliment to have Newt hate me.

4. Hand Newt a flag and tell him to go fuck himself

[JustAnotherGen]

5. Hey

It's a nice change from Ghouliani's "Give me a noun! Give me a verb! Give me a 9 - 1- 1"!

[deutsey]

7. Gingrich has grown on me

like a damn fungus.

[HughBeaumont]

8. Translated: "President Ni**er? Not so much".

Pink bastard fuck. Doesn't he have a aging wife to drop like a bad habit?

[onehandle]

9. Hey Newt, They're Presidents and you will never be one.

Good luck on your self-promotion tour.

[NewJeffCT]

10. and, amazingly, Newt will say the same thing in 12 years

or so when a new Democrat is elected - "Obama has grown on me, he was a moderate and a nice guy, to boot... however, this new guy is some sort of radical hippy elitist."

11. This is less subtle than a campaign appearance in a sheet and hood!

[LeftishBrit]

12. Could it be because Obama produces more melanin than Clinton does?

Anyway Gingrich is absolute slime, and I hope he never gets anywhere near political influence again.

[somone]

13. Yeah, keep talking

[fittosurvive]

14. Both Clinton and Gingrich are very knowledgeable with respect to

public policy and the legislative process.

It is logical to assume that they would recognize and acknowledge the capabilities of one another.

15. That must be a sight to see. Where, exactly, did Bill grow on him?

[TygrBright]

16. Translation: "Loose zipper? Cool. Brown? Nuh-UH!" n/t

[somone]

18. Sounds like it

[joeybee12]

17. Hey Newt, a doctor can remove that growth...nt

[shireen]

19. Mr. President, Newt Gingrich just insulted you.

I mean Pres. Clinton ... :D

[27inCali]

20. He hates Obama for being faithful and thus a better man.

[NYC Liberal]

21. Does this mean he got over not being able to talk to Bill on AF1 in 1995?

[Scurrilous]

22. Heh.

:thumbsup:

[whathehell]

23. Unfortunately for Newt...He has yet to "grow on" either of them, I suspect

or, more importantly for his ambitions, the public at large.:eyes:

[intaglio]

24. He just wants Clinton's success with the ladies

Know what I mean (nudge-nudge, wink-wink, say no more)
