Fat Amoral Baby Newt Gingrich Attacks Barack Obama For Not Being Fat

by Ken Layne  

Heil Easter Bunny Chocolate.We keep reading this quote from candy-sucking has-been Newt Gingrich and we just can’t decide whether it’s racist or just a pathetic fat person’s terrible anger over a 48-year-old politician in good physical and mental condition. What do you think Gingrich was talking about during his speech to Republicans in New Orleans last night?

“What we need is a president, not an athlete,” Gingrich said during a question and answer period after his speech. He added: “Shooting three point shots may be clever, but it doesn’t put anybody to work.”

Uhh … so a president should not be athletic, and should not be clever? Is that the point? Or maybe a negro who can sink a ball from downtown is “clever” and we all know what Republicans gathered in New Orleans think about a negro acting “clever.” The important thing is reducing the nation’s president — an actual elected president, and a wildly popular one compared to that last guy — to a racial caricature, while simultaneously calling this apparently ineffectual hoops-playing loser “the most radical president in American history.”

Really? You people are so scared of a worthless black president who does nothing but throw basketballs from the three-point line that he’s suddenly going to completely remake America?

Actually, Newt Gingrich is so fucking stupid and such an awful failure within his own party, we can probably just write off this whole episode as another sad blurt from a infantile blob who briefly held a position of power in the House of Representatives two decades ago and BLEW IT because he was an infantile blob then, too. Plus he was divorcing all of his various wives when they got cancer, all the while wriggling his little wang around inside his GOP staffer secretaries and prattling on about Bill Clinton’s affair. GAH IS THERE A MORE GROSS PERSON IN AMERICAN POLITICS EVEN INCLUDING JOHN EDWARDS? [CBS News]

He’s trying to make people associate Obama with Tiger Woods, even while most people associate Newt Gingrich with a soggy ten year old newspaper found on a sidewalk.

Newt Gingrich loves him some peanut butter cups, just like Newt Gingrich loves him some adultery. Did you know that this man was actually a college professor, with a PhD in History? Could that make actual academic achievement seem any more meaningless?

Also, caricature.

Powe wittle Newt. He be sooooo jealous. Him unhappy with successful black guy. But then… this is all he’s got to look forward to–except for a few exciting moments watching pudgy cornfedderate re-enactors march around during cornfedderate month in the Olde Dominion pretending to be partiotic “heroes” from times gone by. Maybe he could bone some black gal and pretend he is Mr. Jefferson. But wait, was Sally a “staffer” or a… well nevermind.

As I said on a previous thread to Aurelio, the GOP has a lot of fucking nerve holding this FapFest in NEW ORLEANS, the city their former standard bearer allowed to almost drown. Irony EPIC FAIL.

charlesdegoal April 9, 2010 at 9:48 am

Not so sure about “characterture” but Newt certainly is one in the intended sense. Does he realize he is seriously offending the ghost of Gerald Ford? BTW, in the NYTimes piece on that New Orleans gathering, the absent Gov. Pawlenty is described as merely a one-time possible McCain running mate, which may be the ultimate insult: Came in second to Sarah Palin.

fringes April 9, 2010 at 9:50 am

I kinda had to stop reading after “characterture”…

Katydid April 9, 2010 at 9:50 am

Good ol’ boy Newt is being entirely snarcastic, and he’s probably not even racist, just someone who’s blowing ye old dog whistle, which he learned from Lee Atwater:

You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can’t say “nigger”—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now [that] you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I’m not saying that. But I’m saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Nigger, nigger.”

joezoo April 9, 2010 at 9:51 am

Confidential to Ken: the commentary is funnier when you don’t go out and SAY how you really feel. Hiding it behind a layer or three of sardonic irony = moar laffs.

Monsieur Grumpe April 9, 2010 at 9:51 am

Gangrene’s whole shtick has been to throw mud constantly. He has a list of buzz words and endlessly repeats them. He’s all output and no input. He’s the human equivalent of an anal pore that is perpetually farting the nastiest of gases in a noisy wet and sloppy manner.
Gah indeed.

JMP April 9, 2010 at 9:51 am

And he also called the Democrats “perfect unrepresentative left-wing machine dedicated to a secular socialist future”. The Republicans keep saying this kind of thing, as if they can’t figure how the Democratic Party came to power in the first place. Sorry Newt, but welcome to the glorious secular socialist future!

I violently braked and you can imagine my disappointment when I saw that it was the Newt (he was prolly getting some Reese’s). Anyhow, *Sorry*

[re=552157]Katydid[/re]: That was a quote from Lee Atwater. HTML fail.

JMP April 9, 2010 at 9:54 am

[re=552151]lemprika[/re]: That’s different, because Bush was showing that he was a manly masculine man’s man, a cowboy. However, Obama likes to play basketball, which is popular with, you know, those people, that Obama’s one of and Republicans hate but try to couch the hatred in code words.

Naked Bunny with a Whip April 9, 2010 at 9:55 am

To be fair, Gingrich constantly berates Bush for his failure to protect America on September 11, instead reading a book to little kids. He does berate Bush for that, yes? Yes?

crapshooter102 April 9, 2010 at 9:55 am

Surely (Don’t call me Shirley) you can’t believe Newt performed all those dastardly acts with cheating, divorcing, etc. As Groucho might say, who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes? Remember this Guy is supposed to be the Intellectual Repub. Zip it up Newt, until you get back to your hotel room.

queeraselvis v 2.0 April 9, 2010 at 9:57 am

Also, Ken, you forgot the most important part of Newtie-Poot’s speech: “There are certain essential truths, like the fact that 2+2=4.” GOP iz MATH GENIUS FTW.

lawrenceofthedesert April 9, 2010 at 9:57 am

The problem with having no redeeming qualities is that it includes not being funny, either to laugh with or laugh at. Newt serves no valid purpose, as the Greedy Old Party found out, and has not one quality to recommend him. He is Nixon-like in that regard.

eastcoastliberal April 9, 2010 at 10:01 am

Naked Bunny with a Whip April 9, 2010 at 10:03 am

[re=552160]JMP[/re]: Newt has a point about Democrats being too secular, the way only 99% of them are professed Christians, and the way they aren’t working hard enough to force religion into everything the government does as the Constitution requires.

Naked Bunny with a Whip April 9, 2010 at 10:04 am

“There are certain essential truths, like the fact that 2+2=4.”

Or like the fact that a majority is defined as “60% or greater”.

Newt Gingrich wants to watch Barack Obama fuck his wife. That’s his fetish. I’m calling it.

Awwww… Newty, maybe if you stopped scarfing down Reese’s Peanutbutter Cups, ran 24 consecutive marathons and worked out, well, a LOT then maybe you’d actually see your penis without help of a mirror.

[re=552154]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Politico noted not one speaker mentioned Katrina on the first day of this shite fest. Of course the comments then ripped Politico for not acknowledging the entire situation was the fault of Democrats and/or stupid poors. It isn’t so much that there are two Americas anymore as two alternate realities. Seeing as how Gingrich writes alt-history fiction where the South (and later the Nazis) win, he’s the perfect messenger for these rubes.

And don’t even try explaining to them how 2+2 can actually egual 10 or 11 depending on what base set you are using. Math is hard.

Prommie April 9, 2010 at 10:14 am

Southern Leadership, thats working out great for the GOP, isn’t it? I am so glad the GOP has become the confederate party, really, I could not wish a worse fate on it.

This being Confederate Slave-Owning Heros of the War Against Northern Commie Homos Month, I would like to suggest a new catchphrase to be used, a-la Palin, in response: “How’d that secession thing work out for ya?”

Or at least a month of our own, like “Crushing the Treasonous Rebellion And Rubbing Their Illiterate Noses In It Month.”

Capitol Hillbilly April 9, 2010 at 10:14 am

Newt couldn’t play high school football because there wasn’t a helmet big enough.

So he followed in the footsteps of his idols Adolph Hitler and Fidel Castro – who had failed at art and baseball – and became a politician.

Wait, wasn’t the problem 2 days ago that he threw like a girl? Now, the problem is that he’s too good at the sports with the Negro dialects? So, it’s not at all about being an athlete or not being an athlete, it’s that he’s good at the one sport that’s a unique American invention, but not as good at America’s favorite* pastime-that’s-actually-cribbed-from-an-even-more-boring-Anglo-sport? What’s going on? Is the problem that Obama’s too black, or is it that he’s not white enough? I’m so confused now!

I used to play basketball, and wasn’t a bad shooter. Nobody ever said to me, though, after making a shot, “That was clever, dude/asshole/prick/honkey.” They may have called me an asshole, or some shit like that, but never said I was “clever” because I could shoot from three point land.

Gingrich is a stupid, fat and obnoxious nonathletic loser.

I’m pretty sure that Obama wouldn’t be getting any of this shit, about playing basketball, or not being a Major League pitcher, or about being seen on a golf course (and not as someone’s caddy- SCANDAL!) if he spent all his spare time clearing brush, like the old president used to do (when he wasn’t doing sports). Manual field labor’s one of those things they’re okay with the browns doing, for no pay, right?

The real problem here is that (oh gross!) he’s wearing the same eyeglass frames I am.

Redhead April 9, 2010 at 10:29 am

The best part, if you click the linky to the story, is that he came out to the song “Eye of the Tiger.” As in the Rocky-getting-in-shape montage.

So basically Gingrich is whining and crying cause he’s old, fat, lazy, generally hated and not-too-bright, and somehow Obama manages to be young, in shape, fairly well-liked, athletic AND smart. You can almost hear the “but it’s not faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaair” running through his head.

I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO April 9, 2010 at 10:36 am

Fuck yes, they are that scared because if these people stop for five seconds with their continuous spew of extra white bile some people might stop to realize that this so called socialist hoops shooting negro also happened to stop a complete and total collapse of the economy presiding over an unprecedented surge on Wall Street, continues to oversee a positive turn around in the job market (I’m sure everyone here knows about March being the first month to add jobs to the roll in three years, and has probably seen that graph where the jobs pull out of their nose dive right around the same time Obama takes office), finally signed a FRIGGIN NUCLEAR ARMS TREATY WITH THE RUSSIANS!!!! (Are you kidding me??? GENERATIONS of Americans grew up with the existential threat of all out nuclear obliteration hanging over their heads and it took this inadequate black man to actually do something about it?), oh, and the moment he signed that healthcare bill, you know, the one that presidents going back a fucking CENTURY failed to get done, yeah, that bill, when he put the ink on that paper he probably saved more lives in that pen stroke than any of this bloated, pasty, wrinkled, backwards ass fucks ever saved in their entire life time spent “saving babies” and by saving babies I do mean stomping a mud hole in women’s rights and forcing millions into the wonderful world of back alley abortions and wire hangers going where they should never go.

So yes, that’s what all of this is about. These people are so scared because they know that if they let up for even the slightest bit, America might realize that “that one” has actually been a pretty good president, especially when you take into account the assholes in congress he has to deal with.

The Silver Fox April 9, 2010 at 10:36 am

Since the group of voters to which he is trying to appeal is overwhelmingly fat and racist, Gingrich thinks this is really just good politics.

[re=552179]4tehlulz[/re]: It also went over the head of Newt himself, since he used it attacking “socialism”, a political view Orwell supported.

Lately, with all these assholes screaming “socialism!” at every attempt to get government to work a little bit better, and sometimes getting called a socialist personally, I’m wondering if it might be time to reclaim the word. Let’s face it, there’s nothing wrong with a bit of socialism, but it’s become a slur in American politics; maybe lefties can start saying we’re socialist and proud.

And wait a minute, isn’t this coming right after the entire right wing went apeshit because O threw a baseball like a girl? I mean seriously, do you want a fuckin’ athelete, or don’t you?

Turning off the semi-snarky rant to get get serious for a moment, I remember watching West Wing, and the end of season 2 when a bunch of white supremacists opened fire on POTUS and his black body man. In the next season we learn that the black body man, played beautifully by Dule Hill, was the actual target. And I remember in the aftermath how everyone was freaking out, and at one point one of them saying, “so why does it feel like this?” The answer being, “because it was a lynching. They tried to lynch Charlie…”

And yeah, that was a lot of build up to what’s probably a shitty climax, but when I read shit like this, and when you look at how the GOP simply turned off on Jan 20th, 2009, and Joe Wilson’s, “You Lie,”… It’s like, this huge population just stopped respecting both the man AND the office, and that population seems to coincide curiously with a demographic that has this tendency towards racism and bigotry, and what you are left with is this impression that this presidency is just one long, slow, and very public lynching. And I saw it coming, how could you not, but you still feel dirty watching it happen all the same.

And the worst bit is, it’s hard to say anything about it. A lot of the time the code words are meant to bate us as much as the racists. It goes like this, public figure blows insane racial dog whistle. The Left goes 100% apeshit. Public figure ignores or shrugs off or half ass apologizes for the slur without suffering any real consequences. Millions upon millions of racists become more sympathetic because public figure was only telling the truth and The Left was way over reacting with their pc nonsense like always.

I mean, come on, where’s the harm in telling jokes about how much black people like basketball/watermelon/fried chicken/grape soda/etc. fucking lulz.

I’d like to think of myself as a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to rants in general and I have to say this is the best Newt Gingrich rant ever! Pure fucking poetry. Bravo, my man, bravo!

May the fat infantile blob get hit by a sausage truck on his way home tonight.

There has to be a trained behaviorist out there who can confirm my theory that Newty’s personality and political style are based solely on the fact that he was the last one picked for any schoolyard games, AFTER the “tomboyish” girl and the pain-in-the-ass tag-along little brother; that he lived in mortal fear of being on the “skins” team and that he was constantly humiliated by lean, athletic coloreds.

I want to say if ABC,NBC and CBS have their way. We Americans will be living under a n Obama dictatorship in not to long of a distance ! Obama’s actione prove that he thinks he was not elected president. But he feels he was elected GOD as many democrats think !! Now Obama says we must not forget slavery ! No we should not. But, we should learn the truth and facts about slavery ! The truth is far from what Black America is saying it to be. The biggest slave traders of blacks in history was the Muslim world. A proven fact ! They traded far more blacks and other races than all other slave traders put together. The funny thing about Obama and the ignorance of many blacks is that they have become Muslim’s. This is not the bad thing about it. But Obama did not have a Christian prayer day this year but a Muslim prayer day ! And yet the Muslim’s traded more blacks ! Thus as I see it, it is not about slavery at all. It is all about what the black radicals such as Sharpton and Jackson and Obama can get FREE out of the American government !

1) Have you already been visited by the Firearm Control Enforcement Agency as of yet? If not, please be patient, they will be around as soon as they can to confiscate your guns.

2) Have you received your mandatory Quran in the mail yet? If so, have you already commenced with the attached daily reading assignments?

3) Finally, has the IRS gotten around to cancelling your healthcare and directed you to the nearest Caucasian detention center for your requisite hygiene and medical treatments?

Where to begin? If I had the time, patience, or inclination, I’d shut you down. I would end you. Society has been unkind to you- surely it must have been, for you are of the dregs. Entering into a proper dialogue with you would be an exercise in futility. But,sweetie, I will deign to say this:

The question has never been about the enslavement or indentured servitude of various peoples throughout history; rather, it is about the legacy it has left on this country, on our everyday dealings with each other, and how this legacy still operates at a frequency powerful enough to obscure the progress mirrored by the lawful election of a Black, Xtian, president. We claim to be the greatest country in the world, no? Just look at how we conduct ourselves when it comes to acknowledging the horrible wrongs that are as much a part of our lineage as a nation as any pursuit of liberty. Barack Obama could crawl up on to a wooden cross his damned self and claim to all the world that he believes in Jeebus, and you people wouldn’t hear it, wouldn’t believe it, wouldn’t care. This country loves to talk a big game, but when the cards are on the table, the bluff is exposed. It is obvious that you are informed; just misinformed.

According to FACTS, you are a xenophobic, racist prick that hasn’t even grasped the basics of human history.

Shitty fact: much of the data surrounding the slave trade is documented because it was, well, mostly legal for a very long time and they kept track of that fucking shit for business purposes. It’s no secret which imperialist countries raided and enslaved africans during the reign of the atlantic slave trade.

But why bother even introducing you to reality? You’d have a better chance claiming unicorns gave birth to Obama than you do some bullshit you just decided to make up randomly.

Mostly_Harmless April 9, 2010 at 3:11 pm

As far as Newt is concerned, he ran an ad campaign for a recently published, shitty book that had this exact tag line:

“Is life really so complicated? Ask happy and successful people this question and you’re likely to hear that, in its essence, life is really quite simple.”

No, Gingrich is worse than Edwards, by far. Aside from dumping wife no. 1, he didn’t feed their children, either. When he spent his money on ski vacations instead of child support, the Gingrich girls had to survive on their church’s charity, the food pantry the church had assembled for the poor and homeless. Feeding your children is a traditional virtue. Being greedy and selfish is a traditional vice. Gingrich and the other Rep(tilian)s have vices for their values.

I’ve hated Newt for a long long time.

Ariana Huffington’s alliance with Newtie & Republicans (oh, yeah — I remember her debatin’ on local LA news) just increases my suspicians.

Don’t the blue states send more tax monies to the red states, because they’re richer and more populous (wonder why) and pay more taxes to the US gubmit than the red states? Most of the racist rants, violence, teatards, and shitflinging come from redstate retards, egged on by their Republican overlords. I suggest these people have the flow of blue state tax monies shut down until they can STFU, learn to act like adults, and apologize to every libtard, dark skinned person, Democrat they’ve threatened,out there. Make them publicly eat bags of rat dicks. And their Republican overlords should commit hari kiri, demonstrating proper shame and responsiblity, for unleashing this mob. Then in their next reincarnation in life, they may not come back as a factory farmed pig or poor black single teen mom.

GAH IS THERE A MORE GROSS PERSON IN AMERICAN POLITICS EVEN INCLUDING JOHN EDWARDS?”

Yes.
Yes there is.
Rush is Gingrich w/o the charm, w/ about -30 IQ points (Standford-Binet), who is rumored to pay money to have sex w/ third-world children.
I’d say that counts.
(This being obvious, I wouldn’t be surprised if the point has already been made, and better. If so, apologies; no plagiarism intended.)
