Fat Unemployed Adulterer Criticizes Sotomayor, On Twitter

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]

    STROM THURMOND FOR SCOTUS.

  2. Professor Proffy McProfalton, Prof. says at 1:57 pm, May 27th, 2009

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

  3. SayItWithWookies says at 1:57 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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?

  4. 4tehlulz says at 1:58 pm, May 27th, 2009

    When Chuck D wrote “Fight the Power,” he was totally speaking to oppressed white men like Newt.

  5. The Legend of TeaBagger Vance says at 1:58 pm, May 27th, 2009

    former republican leaders bill frist, tom delay have both gone away. Newt Gingrich should, too.

  6. nbawriter says at 1:58 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Fat, douchy, white-haired asshat should have been forced to withdraw his tiny peen from that woman to whom he wasn’t married.

  7. voyetra8 says at 1:59 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I love all of these wingnuts with the twitter.

    It parses their bullshit into flushable, 140 character micro-turdlets.

  8. voyetra8 says at 2:00 pm, May 27th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: DOH! You beat me to it. I hate you so bad.

  9. Spackle Camshaft Palin says at 2:00 pm, May 27th, 2009

    The only thing worse than a racist Latina Woman is some sort of transsexual racist Latina Man.

  10. Bypartizoa says at 2:02 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Welcome in the Republican party: angry, old, bigoted, white men

    Not welcome in the Republican party: everyone else

  11. 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.

  12. Hawaiiexpat says at 2:05 pm, May 27th, 2009

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

  13. Hooray For Anything says at 2:05 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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.

  14. chascates says at 2:06 pm, May 27th, 2009

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

  15. SmutBoffin says at 2:06 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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.

  16. freakishlystrong says at 2:06 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Do the
    Ggodamn Rethugs twitter all their shitty talking points to each other first thing in the am? Fuck, talk about “on message”. Hateful and deceitful, but fucking on message. Fuck you Newt also.

  17. canadians for pussy says at 2:07 pm, May 27th, 2009

    do you think the newt is fucking his latest secretary??

    dont mess with canukastan we will eat your hearts or cut your feet off..
    Also

  18. liquiddaddy says at 2:08 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I live in San Antonio, the land of short, chunky, bossy, type-A latinas, and at the risk of sounding like a dick, I gotta say I don’t think Barry really knows what he’s getting into. That famous phone call at 3:00 a.m to the White House? Buddy, let it ring.

  19. freakishlystrong says at 2:08 pm, May 27th, 2009

    freakishlystrong: Idiot, sorry, angrybear rant.

    canadians for pussy: Yes, but only in the ass. Regular adultery give the pope a sad.

  22. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 2:14 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Twitter has an 140 character limit, so he didn’t have room for “Confucius Say:”

  23. El Pinche says at 2:14 pm, May 27th, 2009

    canadians for pussy: He’s a republican. He twats with his left and jerks off a young male page with his Right.

  25. Holy Cow!! says at 2:18 pm, May 27th, 2009

    This is why I don’t believe in gods. If there were gods, people like that fat pompous asshole Newt would be punished with some sort of festering sore on their faces.

  26. magic titty says at 2:18 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I don’t get it. She’s racist because ___________.

  27. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 2:19 pm, May 27th, 2009

    canadians for pussy: do you think the newt is fucking his latest secretary??

    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.

  28. drrty martini says at 2:19 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Hawaiiexpat: Why should it be one or the other? He can mate with both! It could begin a glorious new reign of conservatism!

  29. Larry McAwful says at 2:20 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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.

  30. hobospacejunkie says at 2:20 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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.”

  31. 4tehlulz says at 2:20 pm, May 27th, 2009

    magic titty: …she’s not white, yet has the audacity to be proud of her heritage.

  32. Hooray For Anything says at 2:21 pm, May 27th, 2009

    chascates: Maria Sotomayer- total racist. William Rehnquist- fine, upstanding, towering figure of civil rights.

  33. V572625694 says at 2:21 pm, May 27th, 2009

    4tehlulz: canadians for pussy: Is Gingrich un catolico? How about Sotomayor? Papists are okay by me, I sleep with one every night, but is it a religious test for office now? — “office” in this sense meaning the Supreme Court, and “test” meaning prohibited by the US Consti-fucking-tution.

    Did the Founding Fathers (all old white guys, natch) intend for SCOTUS to be a debating society that only addressed abortion and gay marriage?

  34. V572625694 says at 2:22 pm, May 27th, 2009

    V572625694: Oh, and Bong Hits 4 Jesus. SCOTUS thinks about that, too.

  35. Servo says at 2:23 pm, May 27th, 2009

    magic titty:
    Because Rush said so.

  36. 4tehlulz says at 2:24 pm, May 27th, 2009

    V572625694: Newt converted recently (so he can score nuns, I guess), and Sotomayor (yeah I put the accent on the last syllable motherfuckers) is a practicing Catholic.

  37. doxastic says at 2:25 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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)

  38. norbizness says at 2:26 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Newt should be forced to relocate to an instant messaging system for losers (I know, redundant) called Twaddle.

  39. Mr Blifil says at 2:26 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I didn’t realize Newt was aware that withdrawal was ever an option.

  40. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 2:27 pm, May 27th, 2009

    V572625694: Is Gingrich un catolico?

    You musta missed that. He marries (on the third try) some girl Polack he was banging and alla sudden he’s the pope of who can and can’t get invited to speak at Notre Dame &c.

  41. Whit man speak with forked texting!

  42. pedestrian rage says at 2:28 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Bloviating irrelevant knuckle dragger should STFU. ugh. Me wanna poke out own eyes with sharp stick. ugh. also.

  43. BadKitty says at 2:28 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I’m obviously missing something here. What exactly did Sotomayor do to be called a racist by every white male douchebag in the country?

  44. Turd Way says at 2:31 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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?

  45. DeLand DeLakes says at 2:31 pm, May 27th, 2009

    “Latina woman” = redundant as “ATM machine”

  46. Monsieur Grumpe says at 2:31 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Bypartizoa:
    You forgot fat which explains why they need a big tent.

  47. White man speak with forked texting!

  48. TimesUp says at 2:33 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Equal justice under the law today really threatens these guys much like the stricken slavery paragraph in the first draft of the Declaration of Independence threatened the landed gentry in Congress in 1776. It’s all about power and societal stratification and licking the soles of their boots.

  49. brassbear says at 2:33 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Newt Gingrich is a credit to his species of idiot.

  50. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:34 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Worse Haiku Ever!

  51. magic titty says at 2:39 pm, May 27th, 2009

    4tehlulz: Oh, right. That.

  52. Woodwards Friend says at 2:41 pm, May 27th, 2009

    MONGO NO LIKE SUPREME COURT LADY!

    Also, the whole “she’s a racist” meme is a steaming pile of bullshit according to noted Mulsin Commie Fag Rod Dreher: http://blog.beliefnet.com/crunchycon/2009/05/i-was-wrong-about-sotomayor-sp.html

  53. JadedDIssonance says at 2:47 pm, May 27th, 2009

    the man is so mentally and emotionally isolated!

    Hello Historically Repressed Minorities. Could you please find this man and fake-friend him? He needs to hear the truth from actual melanin’d lips. After he writes a full confession, you can stop the waterboarding and put him out of his misery.

  54. So, Twitterberry = Dingleberry now?

  55. Kev-O-Tron says at 2:53 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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.

  56. Egregious says at 2:54 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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!

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

    Kev-O-Tron: I will not hear Seattle badmouthed like that. We have both kinds of ethnics: Swedes and Norwegians.

  58. Kev-O-Tron says at 2:57 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Kev-O-Tron: I realize that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but I’m baked, it’s my day off and I hate both Twitter and Newt. so…..racism rant?

  59. CorkPopper says at 3:04 pm, May 27th, 2009

    BadKitty: 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.

  60. Come here a minute says at 3:18 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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!

  61. President Beeblebrox says at 3:24 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Spackle Camshaft Palin: Hm, well, she fits the bill as a Latina transsexual, but I don’t think she’s racist. (The link is mostly safe for work, yo.)

  62. 4tehlulz says at 3:36 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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

  63. mjwilstein says at 3:36 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Here’s the video of Gibbs responding the Newt’s tweets:

  64. germansteel says at 3:39 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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.

  65. saggyboobedhag says at 3:41 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Latina woman? I guess he doesn’t expect his twitterees to know what the final “a” means.

    Too hard to keep up with all this furrin stuff like accentuatin’ the last syllable of her last name and such.

  66. norbizness says at 3:43 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Gibbs makes blogging sound like a dirty and dishonorable pursuit, which of course is exactly right.

  67. saggyboobedhag says at 3:48 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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.

  68. snideinplainsight says at 3:58 pm, May 27th, 2009

    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
    Atrios
    Joan Walsh

    Who does not have comment sections;

    Little girly scaredy-cats like
    Rush Limbaugh
    Mike Savage
    Newt Gingrich
    The Corner
    NRO
    etc. etc. etc.

    Am I wrong here?

  69. snideinplainsight says at 4:02 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Oh, and don’t let me leave out that brave, brave man John Yoo over at the so-called “Enterprise Blog” - what a weiner-dog -

  70. loquaciousmusic says at 4:03 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I’d be more than happy to lend Newt my copy of “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.” I’m sure I have it around here somewhere, from my elitist college days.

  71. problemwithcaring says at 4:23 pm, May 27th, 2009

    magic titty: I think the real question is, if Colin Powell is racist, how can she not be?

  72. proudgrampa says at 5:45 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Holy Cow!!: Well said.

  73. imissopus says at 6:31 pm, May 27th, 2009

    hobospacejunkie: I didn’t count, is that under 140 characters?

  74. imissopus says at 6:31 pm, May 27th, 2009

    But what I really want to know is, what does Sarah Palin think about all this?

  75. proudgrampa says at 7:17 pm, May 27th, 2009

    imissopus: You don’t really want to know, do you??

  76. IceCreamEmpress says at 8:08 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Frankly I don’t know if affirmative action works or not

    It works at least as well as the old-boy network, the legacy system, and racism and sexism ever did. The illusion that before 1964 every job went to the most qualified applicant is completely ridiculous. Especially in a world with Bushes Sr. and Jr.

  77. Mike Steele says at 11:43 am, May 29th, 2009

    chascates: But Bork did have kinky hair.

  78. Mike Steele says at 11:45 am, May 29th, 2009

    snideinplainsight: Indeed, cowards do cower.

  79. Mike Steele says at 11:52 am, May 29th, 2009

    Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney, the new feces of the Republican Party.
