Newt Gingrich's announcement that he's running for president means that Americans can once again re-live the peaks and valleys (and valleys, and more valleys) of his long political career. TRMS has intercepted a highly sensitive--and highly fake---memorandum advising conservatives how best to deal with the Newt Situation.

I still can't believe that the greedy little fink is actually running.
Newt running for president is like President Obama running for shoe shine boy - Totally inappropriate and a sign of mental illness. This guy has such a superiority complex it amazes me that his head doesn’t just fly off in a burst for old glory. Is this guy the best the Reps have? Oh sorry I forgot about Limbaaaa. Please note: This is not meant to be a factual statement.
Fink ha ha rat maybe. I would like to say to the other side GROW UP!!!!!
hahahahah awesome description
I watch the Rachel Maddow show every night and agree with her views, which she explains very well. HOWEVER, please ask her to stop talking SO FAST and stop speaking SO LOUD! This is very, very disconcerting. I have to leave the room from time to time, because her speedy voice and loud tone become too much. I mean this comment as a help, not a hindrance. Lawrence O'Donnell is also a favourite of mine. He does not shout. Please tell Rachell what I said.
Why don't you just adjust the volume on your tv???????
seriously?!?
I think Rachel is great. Just right loudness and tone for me. Don't tell her to quiet down, tell Patricia to turn her TV down. I like to take my hearing aids out and rest my ears while Rachel's on!
Rachel does not "shout".
She speaks "emphatically and with passion".
Rachel is not "loud".
She wishes to accomodate her "hearing impaired (listeners)?".
Rachel does not speak "fast".
She assumes that her audience is intelligent enough to keep up with the big words. (I mean absolutely no one any disrespect)
I'm kidding.... I think she's perfect. ;) Turn down your TV.
She talks fast because she is excited about what she does and has a lot to cover. Here's a tip: Leave up the subtitles on your TV. Generally, because of her speedy delivery, they are usually about 20 seconds or so behind. If you miss a word, refer to the bottom of your screen.
Again, not making fun, sometimes I have a "wait, what?" moment too. Trust me, Rachel is worth the effort.
This is HILARIOUS! LOVE IT!
This looks super-fake. I'd say this looked like a Yes Men thing, but they are so good that you can't actually tell when they're operating, until it's too late.
@Big Frankie - What was your clue? Could it have been the part of the description that says, "TRMS has intercepted a highly sensitive--and highly fake---memorandum..."?
I hope none of my tax dollars are paying for the operation of the Message Control Center. ;)
As a Catholic, I do not claim his as a member of my religion. He's a hypocrite! Not to mention his stance on "protecting" marriage!
Maybe he should have spent a little more time "protecting" his OWN marriages instead of meddling in those of others.
as a nondenominational I think Newt is a discrase to any deity.
She does tend to speak fast -maybe to get in all the info in time allowed - but I don't experience her shouting..
I feel massively stupid. I really need to read, and not skim before responding. Either that, or I just need alcohol.
LOL..no worries Frankie....we all make mistakes.
I just don't think "President Newt" could ever really take..
As long as we all go out and vote, we won't have to worry! Will we?
President of the "Salamander Antidefamation League (SADL)" maybe.
Big Frankie C:
Here, have a glass of wine. Heaven knows I need one myself. Don't feel stupid; it's happened to all of us at one time or another. Usually far more than once.
This is a nice Merlot, isn't it? Let me refill your glass.
I am weird. I hate wine and beer. …and whiskey and gin. Gimme rum (good rum) or vodka, and a bunch of fruit juice and cram in a lot of fruit and little umbrellas & swords and stuff. I'm a 6'6" 450 pound guy who wears suits and a mohawk, and I love fruity girly drinks.
One of the great things about being an adult male is that you can finally drink whatever the hell you want without having to impress your 'buddies.' Kaluha and Cream, baby. Not only fru-fru, but with calcium!
Okay, Big Frankie, give me your keys, and take this:
Place the concentrates, sugar, and hot water in the bottom of a shaker, stir to dissolve. Add remaining ingredients and shake well. Serve strained (or not) in a tall chilled glass; decorate with all manner of fruit, swords, and umbrellas.
Hey, what about me........I'd like a refill too!
joybar:
Here you go, sorry I didn't see your glass was getting empty.
I'd best start ordering the booze by the case. It's going to be a mighty long campaign season, and we need all the help we can get. :}
@frankie anything made with rum is blood in a sailor's veins
How much do you figure Newt plans to make off of this little charade of a campaign?
I'd say he plans to make us all sick!
I don't believe the greedy little fink is actually running. I think he's pulling a scam: he just wants to get some stupid practically senile right wingers to make big contributions to his campaign, then he'll drop out. But he'll keep the money.
Has anyone even heard him say for which party he plans to run? Or is he going the "independent" route? I ask because of the way he announces that he's running for President, not that he's seeking the nomination.
Very good point! Maybe he thinks he has such a wonderful chance to be President why bother trying those sticky little situations like being nominated! Good eye there!
I agree with the "greedy little fink". What do you suppose happens to all the money that these "posers" get from their supporters, and they DON'T run? You know...the "exploratory commitees"?
What happens to that money if they don't run? Do they give it back? Go to Bermuda on it? Donate it to Planned Parenthood? What?
Newt is more qualified then when Obama ran
Newt is NOT more qualified than Obama. He had a legitimate vision for all Americans. Not just his contributers.
We have a troll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In honor of Newt's announcement, I have created a t-shirt that expresses my deepest feelings about the man and his mission. Unfortunately, I can't post the image here, but if you wish to see it, click the link below and choose the design with Newt's name on it (no purchase necessary, but if you want one, feel free)...

Big Frankie C - Do you have any more of that wine? I sure could use a glass.
AAAAA! It's the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man!!
LOL...fantastic....
Oops, that was supposed to be addressed to CrowMerls, wasn't it. Sorry.
Sandyf:
No problem, let me open another bottle. :]
After watching today's episode I'd like to say, on behalf of Mr. Gingrich, that we Americans welcome our new gay fascist overlords and we mean them no harm.
Next we'll be back to Jim Crow, and burning witches!
Seriously? Did you graduate high school? Do you know the difference between Then and Than? There, Their and they're? Or did your daddy buy your way into Harvard and the presidency too?
Hey there, we all have our flaws! I love Sponge Bob, and Bloomberg T.V.
Seriously? Did you graduate high school? Do you know the difference between Then and Than? There, Their and they're? Or did your daddy buy your way into Harvard and the presidency too?
Mr. Gingrich doesn't have his own politics. He just wants his face on a Wheaties box! He'll go to the highest bidder.
Newts face on the Wheaties box wouldn't leave any room for the name of the cereal.
It seems counterproductive today that "we the people" can not even agree on the facts of any given political situation. The cause and effect of any given policy and its result (good or bad) from either side of the debate seems driven by personal attitudes or bias and not always that close to reality most of the time. It would be nice if we could put down the hostility and agree on reality for a change. I guess everyones reality is fluid. Plenty of delusion to go all around as I see it.
Who cares who is running on either side, seems to me no one proposed has the testicular fortitude to figure out and make the hard choices that America needs to recover from all this insanity. We should start a website called facts we all agree on like simple mathmatics for starters and stop all the bickering and name calling.
So you've just ruled out women because they don't have testicles? We all have biases.
That is a euphemism for courage to make hard choices and makes no distinction between sexes other than the reference to male body parts.
Uh, it's a sexist euphemism that implies courage is related to maleness. Whatever you meant, that's what it is. So now you know to use a different euphemism if you didn't intend to be biased.
You're calling for an end to bias when the paradox is bias is in the eye of the beholder. People who say something biased usually do not see it and will insist they are not biased to infinity AND will say it's the slighted party that's biased and overly sensitive rather than just changing their own speech or behavior.
And of course don't mention his secular humanist lesbian activist sister who recruits youth for the Human Rights Campaign.
Thanks, grrrlromeo, I worked with her many years ago, she is a very nice lady and her half brother, Newt, is a hypocrite...

I was hoping to find a thread about the segment last night on "GOP struggles where it should be secure", but this is as close as I could get.
The District 26 New York story of Corwin v. Hochul is no more exciting than the awesome win in District 7 Maine last night of Cynthia Dill over Louie Maietta. The Democrat beat Maietta by more than double his vote count! There is no serious way to read this than as buyers' remorse over the Tea Party stink up here since the election that put Paul LePage in the Blaine House.
This piece in Down East magazine says it very well (hmm -- no embedded links? well, it's ):
Cynthia Dill won on her own merits, but the actions of the Republican party in her area certainly helped things along. The viciousness of the mailings and so on confirmed the views of the people: that they made a HUGE mistake letting LePage into Blaine House, and they weren't going to make that kind of mistake again.
Thank you! I will repost this........it's hilarious & 100% true. We really need to pay attention to who we elect for our president.
I'm a Republican and I would seriously vote for Barbara Boxer for President and let Nancy Pelosi give me a root canal with a Craftsman drill before I would consider voting for the Newt.
