gives a flying rat's ass WHAT Newtie says?

Judging by his pathetic interviews where he uses a republican talking point for every question, he MUST be a republican...which also means he must not be that bright.

And what's with the constant parade of republicans in the Today show? These nitwits have been wrong, wrong, on EVERY issue and have wrecked the Contry. Why do we keep asking their opinions?

Oh please, Reagan met his destiny when he managed to stay out of the military in WWII and instead starred in movies with a monkey that was more qualified to become President than Reagan was.

Bloviatorus-Supremus

Reagan. Reagan. Reagan.

[i.e., Let's forget the last 8 years. Never happened.]

Reagan. Reagan. Reagan.

***********************

And yes, Matt Lauer is a wuss.

The moment when Newt utters the word "bipartisan" commences the Apocalypse, right?

Either that, or it's the perfect zenith of Republican hypocrisy, nay, a veritable neutron star of hypocrisy, one in which the bullshit has been so compressed that it collapses atomic space itself under its own mass; such that a single teaspoon of the Republican bullshit within weighs as much as an aircraft carrier.

Gingrich?

We decided to not renew your Contract with America a few years back. You are irrelevant.

Obviously, Newt wouldn't go on TV and give anything short of an objective assessment of the economic stimulus. Surely he wouldn't use his time in front of the cameras to make disengenuous statements and drive the republican narrative, right?

Settle in, kids. We're in for at least another four more years of concern trolling from the media.

Obama needs to be more partisan. Tell American just what failures and idiots the Republicans are. Drive them into the desert with a stick and fix the country. Repair all the damage done under Reagan, the Bushes, Gingrich and his fellow criminals of congress.

When are people going to stop being surprised when a hack like Lauer doesn't take these assholes to task? I mean, after eight years of the media being lickspittle toadies, is anybody really shocked by this?

"Politics and war are remarkably similar situations."

"I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics."

"Democrats are the enemy of normal Americans."

He's never failed to give his opinion, yet I challenge anybody to find one time, in all these years, when Newt Gingrich was right about anything.

Newt Gingrich says Obama needs to be more bipartisan.

In other news, Rush Limbaugh says Obama should be skinnier, Bill O'Reilly says he should be more even tempered and Sean Hannity suggests Obama should not have a large, empty head.

seriously...Obama goes out, meets with the Brown Shirt House Republicans, offers them input and gets ZERO votes.

At least Rush Limbaugh is honest---he doesn't want the President to succeed. The Repubs know that if he succeeds, he and the Dems get the credit so the nation be damned. They will oppose him at every turn because it is their only chance for political rehabilitation.

And Gingrich knows it---F him.

(And notice that "shameless" and "shameful" mean the same thing in his case.) Republicanness seems to have become a mental illness. It seems to be progressive and largely incurable. The last Republican who recovered was that Senator from Vermont (?), several years ago.

Brilliant. I laughed out loud at that one.

No. Gingrich needs to go Cheney himself.

As I say not as I did.

What a tool.

The former House speaker warns Obama "is in real danger of becoming Jimmy Carter instead of Ronald Reagan."

Why would he want to be anything like Reagan? After Shrub, he's been the worst president in the last 50 years.

Good grief it was Gingrich who introudced divisiviness and obsructionism to teh U. S Congress. When he lead his great Contract ON Ameirca in the mid 90s, he ram rodded legislation through Congress with no input from Democrats. My house representative told me Democrats never saw most legislation before it came to the floor under Gingrich.

I'll take your challenge. newt told his wife in the hospital that he was divorcing her. Of course, having a captive audience made it an easy one for him. After that pretty much everything else that oozed from his gob is suspect.

The news media (surprise, surprise) still hasn't gotten over its slavish boot licking of the fascist right.

For the past week, all I've heard on the news, at CNN, or most any other news outlet is how Republicans are bashing Obama and telling him to shape up. The media, blind and stupid as ever, follows along with hand wringing stories, blatantly ignoring that we would be on our way to solving this crisis were the Republicans not acting like spoiled children and dragging their feet.

Remember who won this election? WE DID. Why the hell are we paying any mind to gasbags like this who fucked our country up in the first place?

1. Continue to be handsom.

2. Continue to speak well, and say things that make people feel good about themselves (hope, change, freedom, etc.)

3. Be in office when economy starts to recover from previous collapse (recovery need not relate to effects of president's actual economic policies).

4. Be in office when our overseas enemies collapse (collapse may be caused by enemy's inability to sustain support/finance, rather than president's actual policies).

5. Keep it in your pants.

6. (Optional) Near-death brush with crazed Dakota Fanning fan/would-be assassin.

The republicans have spent twenty years building the myth around that idiot that he was some sort of good president. Most of the messes we must now clean up now can be traced back to that dunce and his cronies.

Reagan is the second to last president anyone would want to emulate.

(BTW, Carter was a much better president than Raygus.)

Want some Truth about Rayguns and the Repuglicans:

-Carter (and especially Eisenhower) had much more to do with helping to end the cold war than Reagan. Everyone knows the real person who ended the cold war though was not an American, it was Gorbachev.

The right wing has tried for years to convince the media that Raygus should get credit because he was president at the time.

- Carter delt with and got us out of the first energy crisis. The repugs and Rayguns then went and destroyed the conservation initiatives and fuel efficiency standards setting us up once again to be OPEC's bitches.

- Carter brought the Iranian crises to an end and got the hostages back. With the active help of the Iranian fundamentalists, Rayguns was able to take some circumstantial credit because the fundamentalists in Iran held onto the hostages just long enough for Rayguns to get into office. Rayguns + Iranian fundamentalists, two peas in a pod.

- Rayguns and the right wing machine built Al quaeda by pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into Saudi Arabia and making the most hateful, crazy religious fundamentalists in that region filthy stinking rich.

Where do you think Bin Lauden got all his money?, from the US buying Saudi oil at inflated prices for decades, a phenomenon enabled by Rayguns and years of repuglicans.

-Rayguns started the despicable repuglican tradition of filling government agency posts with incompetents who are philisofically apposed to the departments they are supposed to managing.

Brownie was by no means the first, but the standard republican government official, incompetent and corrupt.

-Rayguns helped to start the deregulation stampede to make his buddies rich and ruin the US economy and industrial base.

Now who wants to be like Rayguns?
