Hmm, yeah, why *didn’t* Barack Obama pick George Allen instead, since racism seems to be the soup o’ the day? No person in history has been shat upon more than the white land-owning male. [Twitter]

Why is Newt talking like a cigar store indian? Ugh!

I’m starting to appreciate Twitter. Limiting Newt to 140 characters means I can ignore his idiocy faster. Can someone please hook up Richard Cohen and George Will?

Yes, Newt, we all know that minorities who mention racism are the real racists, and not all you colorblind white men who don’t have a racist bone in your body, and probably have a black (and now, a Latino) friend; who only choose based on merit, with it just so happening that the best person for a given position just happens to be a white man. And yep, mentioning that those who have been discriminated against might just have a different perspective on discrimination makes one a racist, yep that’s it.
Media, remember that this guy has not actually been important for over a decade now, or done anything newsworthy other than talking about maybe running for the presidency just so you will report on him. Next time, kindly tell him to fuck off instead of treating his irrelevant chatter as news, OK.

If Newt and Sarah Palin (or Michele Bachman) had kids, what would they be like?

Hooray For Anything May 27, 2009 at 2:05 pm

Gingrich and the other Republicans are just sensitive about all this because of our countries long history of forcing white people to drink from different water fountains than other people or be forced to sit in different sections of buses.

chascates May 27, 2009 at 2:06 pm

Except for Robert Bork white racist men have had a pretty easy time getting appointed to the Court.

SmutBoffin May 27, 2009 at 2:06 pm

Unrelated, but do you remember how this leaky bag of diarrhea wanted to bring back the orphanage as a solution to the single-mother childcare “problem”? Gingrich and his ilk would like nothing better than to see those whose personal histories parallel Sotomayor’s be crushed by institutionalized disregard for the poor.

Back in the day when Newt was with his first wife (that’s 2 wifes ago for those of you keeping count), I mean the math teacher 20 years his senior with cancer, he was two-timing her with a campaign worker (also married) and he told her they couldn’t have sex, she just had to blow him in the car so he could tell his wife he wasn’t fucking her.

Classy, I know. But is it funny? Well, back when I first read that in high school I puked, which is sort of like laughing except it stings more, so yeah, I guess so.

Newt Gingrich is the only Republican that Rush Limbaugh is letting speak freely. This does not bode well for their prospects in elections held in any year beginning with the number 2.

You know, if you start your Twitter message @newtgingrich it will go directly to Newt. Like “@newtgingrich STFU, we don’t need morality lessons from philandering, amoral, corrupt, 300+lb fat dumbfuckass lying human feces like you. Also, go fuck yourself.”

doxastic May 27, 2009 at 2:25 pm

For the sake of Newt’s twittering ability, someone should tell him that “Latina woman” is redundant. That way he can call her stupid too and still be within character limits (but not within human decency character limits)

norbizness May 27, 2009 at 2:26 pm

Gingrich may be an adulterous scumbag, but Obama wants to fuck your white daughter. Seriously, I think it’s too early to talk about a new era of racial acceptance because what is this but a strategy to appeal to latent racism rearing its head from the Republicans?

Kev-O-Tron May 27, 2009 at 2:53 pm

Ahhhh race. Touchy subject. I’m a white boy who was raised in a liberal suburb of Seattle. When I left I moved to Tillary and Prince street in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn. I was the whitest white boy in five blocks and I never felt picked on. Since then I’ve lived in a variety of cities where I’m the minority. Never been robbed or assaulted in eight years. I think the secret to avoiding prejudices to really pay attention to how a person talks to you. If you look people in the eye and try to forget what MTV told you growing up you’ll a have fine time with people.

Newt’s a huge asshole because it’s his kind of thinking that encourages this notion of white people being oppressed. Frankly I don’t know if affirmative action works or not but it would be great if we could find a better solution to that problem if only to take an arrow out of the “reverse racism” quiver.

Egregious May 27, 2009 at 2:54 pm

So, Newt is going with “the Latina is a bigot” talking point? This will surely secure him the hispanic vote when he announces his 2012 presidential bid. Now all Newt has to do is keep hammering Obama for his use of teleprompters and the White House will be his!

Lionel Hutz Esq. May 27, 2009 at 2:56 pm

CorkPopper May 27, 2009 at 3:04 pm

[re=325585]BadKitty[/re]: I think the quote they are taking out of context to support the racism meme is I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life which was included in a speech at Berkeley. She went on to say I am reminded each day that I render decisions that affect people concretely and that I owe them constant and complete vigilance in checking my assumptions, presumptions and perspectives and ensuring that to the extent that my limited abilities and capabilities permit me, that I reevaluate them and change as circumstances and cases before me requires. I can and do aspire to be greater than the sum total of my experiences but I accept my limitations.

So in other words, she totally communist.

Come here a minute May 27, 2009 at 3:18 pm

Our buddies at The Corner have posted a doozy about pronouncing the Judge’s name with the accent on the last syllable. They also hate gender on nouns (UNAMERICAN), and so Newt will be apologizing for “latina”.

They should all be waterboarded (tortured) for mispronouncing inSURance!

Gibbs to Newt: No one cares what you think.

“I think we’re satisfied that when the people of America and the people of the Senate get a chance to look at more than just the blog of a former lawmaker, that they’ll come to the same conclusion that the President did.”

Per TPM

I’m sensing a trend here, from Neutron. First, Nancy Pelosi. Said those impolite, hurtful things about the poor CIA and all the god-fearing patriots who work there. SHE MUST RESIGN!!

Sonia Sotomayor scared the living bejeebers out of oppressed honkey judges everywhere when she guessed that people like her might be better suited to be making decisions about the lives of people like, umm, her, than the old white farts. SHE MUST WITHDRAW!!!

He should meet Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh, who are all disinviting Republicans they don’t like from their little social circle.

Oh wait, he probably has met them.

saggyboobedhag May 27, 2009 at 3:41 pm

Sure, Newt, like the black male sexist nominee had to withdraw. Oh, that’s right. He didn’t. The woman he sexually harassed was the one fucked in that deal. Again.

snideinplainsight May 27, 2009 at 3:58 pm

Jeebus! If all these conservative rant-a-blogs and any cojones at all, they would have a comment section. It’s truly the mark of an intellectual coward to COWER behind yr blogging software and disallow any critical comments or even discussion.

Who has comment sections;

Glenn Greenwald
Paul Krugmman
Nate Silver
Matt Yglesias
TPM
Daily Kos

Joan Walsh

Who does not have comment sections;

Little girly scaredy-cats like
