It's time for someone to start putting Newt gingrich in his place

he's come out in recent days playing himself off as a "reformer" saying Delay shouldn't be majority leader and how disgusting all this Abramoff business is, obvious Newt is trying to generate some good press for himself. We all know he's full of shit.

Remember the ES&S scandal? Or maybe scandalette. (What do you call a scandal bigger than a breadbox but smaller than Tom DeLay or Ohio?)

to showcase his morality. i know it probably won't happen but i get so annoyed when i hear him talking about how shameful this or that is, he has no moral ground to stand on at all.

According to reports, he went to CIS HQ with Libby & Cheney, and was involved in the WHIG sessions where the "work-up" on Wilson was discussed.

But how do you get him to crawl back under it?

cancer, so he could continue to carry on with his mistress just might turn off a female voter or two. MKJ

Edited to change mastectomy to uterine cancer, after check at Wikipedia.

will be running in 2008 and there are many, many ignorant people out there and i'm sure to a lot of republicans Newt might be looking pretty good right about now.

Newt is mentioned on 20 pages of Joe Conason's wonderful book, "Big Lies." Should Newt attempt to make a serious run in '08 (he definietly wants to), we will have substantial information to expose him with.

It ran about 10, 11 years ago. Can't find it online and live so far from any library with an archive you would not believe it.

That bio was really something back then and needs to be front and center NOW. All the corruption the newt is coming out against currently is the shit HE TAUGHT.

So, he thinks he finally has Mrs First Lady Potential and is trying to clean up his image for a run at the WH? He taught the neocons how to twist and subvert truth for their purposes and now he dares to act like a reformer? I spit in his general direction!

That man is the scum from which all manner of toxins rose in D.C. I want his real history bare and held in bright light for all the world to see. He is one of the roots of our present sorry state.

but I'd enjoy seeing it. I think that his actual goal is to be the vp, in the manner of Cheney. People assume that because he was humiliated from elected office a decade ago, that he has lost power. He actually has far too much now, and - like Nixon - he understands the concept of a comeback.

He is just totin' too much baggage even in today's America to be selected with any degree of believability. At least I hope so. But still seems prudent to keep his history out there for public education ;)

That man is the WORST of everything about our current culture. That he had the balls and audacity to assume we will forget his sins against good governance is a symptom of serious illness in our national state.

we neutered that bastard years ago, go back home newter

would be turned off.
:hi: MKJ

But we'll remind him, won't we?

Newt's ouster from the leadership post in the House.

Altho Newt inevitably brought down his own demise, Delay was always stabbing him in the back.

Newt always had to watch his back.

I remember Delay engineering at least two coups against him.

Everyone loses. A thing of beauty.

Unfortunatelly he has as good a shot as many of the other Rebublicans

now all of a sudden he's the go-to guy or something. Shame and humiliation is all too brief in politics.

makin google eyes with the local repug activists....he's going to make a pretty serious push for the repug Presidential nomination...
at the very least he's going to raise a lot of money from the sheeple, and then spread it around to his faithful minions....

I've been listening to these neocon-types for years, & it's time to put them all in their place. I am so sick of their hatred for everyone but themselves & their rich friends. I live for the day when they finally get what they deserve. Hopefully the Abramoff thing will bring that day closer.

for a while, and then they "re-birth" themselves.. The people who choose to interview them. cooperate by not bringing up the past embarrassments, and pretty soon, they have all vanished..

Ollie North
John Dean
even Nixon in his later years
John Poindexter
Negroponte
Michael Milkin
Neil Bush
and John McCain
henry Hyde


and many more I have forgotten just now..

Here is a good summary, don't know about the site, but was a good list.

Some called him Frankenstein:

and the wiki entry mentions some of the scandals:

Am thinking we might consider a daily outing of some newt tidbit for the benefit of lurkers who come here to learn. A daily dose of truth about the reptile might go a long way toward sinking his future hopes at the job of Puppet In Chief.

I will never forget what a sleaze he was/is, but others may forget or not know.

We should be "keeping it green."
