4. The only way Newt will ever get to see the insode of the Oval Office again
is if he takes a tour.


Ego was his downfall his entire life, always over-reaching.

16. Of the two tours
The Wrigley field one is definitely better.

For full disclosure I took the WH tour during the Bush admin so it could have been the bad Karma.

8. Hey Newt, IIRC, you resigned in disgrace. Nothing has changed.
No one will vote for you. Run your grifts and leave us alone.

17. I'd love for him to run.
First, he's a graduate of my high school (Baker High School in Columbus, GA)

Second, and more importantly, he would get out the vote. The Democratic vote, I mean. As much as the Repugs hate Obama and before that Clinton, we as Dems hate this arrogant asshole. He is the face of the NeoCons and Dems will come out in force against him.

Throw in the fact that the GOP is scaring the crap out of everyone with their plans to eliminate Medicare, destroy the unions, and, in general loot and pillage the country for their ultra-wealthy friends (ie Koch) and for themselves, and we should be looking at a good year in 2012.

"Look Lois, the two symbols of the Republican Party: an elephant, and a fat white guy who is threatened by change."
