  • NEWT GINGRICH WILL NOT SUE TWITTER: But that doesn’t mean he can spell! “A false story was planted this morning about my sueing twitter. This is totally false and we have repudiated it with the media.” Jesus, this guy and Olbermann have some nerve. Can you famous people PLEASE stick to the false stories that have been reported about you? [Twitter]

    He called his lawyers off when he found out Twitter doesn’t, in fact, have cancer.

    A Douchebag Named Sue?

    You mean the fat ass fairy who used to be speaker of the house isn’t suing the gayest logo on the planet? aww, I’s is sad now, I was looking forward to reading all about the mind-numbingly boring court battle this summer.

    Sueing, as in Anuzis. Assehole.

    “We have repudiated it with the media”? Newt: it’s a transitive verb. Does he type with his elbows?

  6. Fae Yin says at 5:46 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Ahh! I misspell all the time! Don’t put me into the same category as newt! ;-)

    Yeahbut….You KNOW he wanted to. His high priced ambulance chaser probably told him the clerk at the court house would probably be laughing too hard to stamp the papers correctly.

    Fae Yin: As long as you distinguish between transitive and intransitive verbs you are reasonably safe.

  9. WadISay says at 5:58 pm, May 14th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: To console himself, Newt can serve papers on Farrah Fawcett.

    Republicans already have their lawyer dollars committed to paying for Coleman’s election appeal, paying for Coleman’s defense, paying for Coleman’s shopping sprees at Needless Markup….

    Fae Yin: We’re pretty easy. If you misspell something here, we just call you a moran.

  12. Tommmcatt says at 7:00 pm, May 14th, 2009

    This”journalism” thing is a lot more complicated than you might think.

  13. hobospacejunkie says at 7:34 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Newt was going to sue until his lawyers laughed at him through an entire hour at lunch. Despite the money-making possibilities even they weren’t prepared to experience that much embarrassment.

  14. problemwithcaring says at 7:45 pm, May 14th, 2009

    CAN’T YOU SEE WHAT TWITTER IS DOING TO US!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!

  15. PsycGirl says at 9:48 pm, May 14th, 2009

    He thought he could get suet from Twitter. How disappointing for him.

  16. schvitzatura says at 12:46 am, May 15th, 2009

    Newt’s deft handling of the news cycle = FAIL WHALE

  17. Bruno says at 1:08 am, May 15th, 2009

    Oh come on Newt, aren’t you a real man? SUE SUE SUE

  18. lawrenceofthedesert says at 2:36 am, May 15th, 2009

    Actually, Newt Gingrich once was Sue Twitter, but she had an operation.

  19. I always suspected there was something too powerfully sinister with Twitter and their grasp on certain segments of the population. Not that Newt is a real player anymore, but they seem to have gotten to him.

    Lesson: don’t ever ever cross Twitter. Its the 4chan of the conservative interwebs
