New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd summed up bigot and blowhard Newt Gingrich in one of the most brutal columns ever published. The best part is that everything she said is true:
Newt Gingrich’s mind is in love with itself.
It has persuaded itself that it is brilliant when it is merely promiscuous. This is not a serious mind. Gingrich is not, to put it mildly, a systematic thinker.
His mind is a jumble, an amateurish mess lacking impulse control. He plays air guitar with ideas, producing air ideas. He ejaculates concepts, notions and theories that are as inconsistent as his behavior.
He didn’t get whiplash being a serial adulterer while impeaching another serial adulterer, a lobbyist for Freddie Mac while attacking Freddie Mac, a self-professed fiscal conservative with a whopping Tiffany’s credit line, and an anti-Communist Army brat who supported the Vietnam War but dodged it.
Ouch….I couldn’t have said it better myself. What the hell are so-called “family values” conservatives thinking by flirting with this hypocritical clown?
Intellectual Nirvana from the Left…
Let them flirt! It just reinforces the obvious truth that they are political w****s who’s consciences are seared. I would love Newt to be the nominee this coming year.
I heard Mike Malloy on America Left radio say that he used to meet Gingrich on occasion when he (Malloy) was involved in politics in the Atlanta area. He said Gingrich had really bad breath. Barf! Now every time I see him I think of that. ewwwwwwwww
http:://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/republicans being taught talk occupy wall street……….here we find all the unusual words we hear Republicans use over and over……..Newt was the origin of this idea and gave out recordings for all to learn how to talk, ie, job creators vs. corporations, etc. I never hear a reference to this.
You do a great service covering him like no one else!!! fbd
BRAVO! I am a Republican conservative and think you and Maureen are spot on – Newt is a train wreck and is so self-absorbed – his Saturday news interview revealed that. Can’t believe any intelligent individual can’t see through he and Celissta. What a joke!
