Civil War Expert Newt Gingrich Keeps Switching Sides On Libya

by Jack Stuef  4:05 pm March 23, 2011


He should have stopped at the “uhhhhh.” So Newt was in favor of intervening in Libya, He couldn’t possibly comically completely switch his position once Obama takes his advice, right?


Give peace a chance! Unless Obama wants peace again; in which case, burn the mutha down. [Think Progress]

So he's dumping Libya? Did it get cancer or something?

BornInATrailer March 23, 2011 at 4:23 pm

Probably has been having an affair with Yemen for weeks already.

Lionel[redacted]Esq March 24, 2011 at 2:58 am

Just old.

Rambone March 23, 2011 at 4:09 pm

Newt also has a hard time making up his mind about wives . . .

WhatTheHeck March 23, 2011 at 4:10 pm

Of course he switched sides. He realized muslim dictators can have many wives.

nounverb911 March 23, 2011 at 4:38 pm

Then shouldn't become a Mormon like Mitt?

SorosBot March 23, 2011 at 4:45 pm

He already switched religions once too, maybe the third time will be the charm.

Clancy_Pants March 23, 2011 at 4:12 pm

Newt providing another textbook example of mindless contradiction.

See: Argument vs. Contradiction.

Crank_Tango March 23, 2011 at 4:12 pm

Oh whatever. We all know Barry is just bombing Libya to take our attention away from Monica Lewinsky, amirite?

Beetagger March 23, 2011 at 4:13 pm

How can this man be president? He's never even quit a governorship.

jus_wonderin March 23, 2011 at 4:13 pm

I really think while we are in war mode we should scoot on over to North Korea and show them some bomb love too.

OkieDokieDog March 23, 2011 at 4:14 pm

flipflopflipflopflipflop… Here comes Newtzilla, everybody hide!

aguacatero March 23, 2011 at 4:14 pm

He loves America so much that he sometimes has to stray from consistent policy views.

samsuncle March 23, 2011 at 4:14 pm

Newt Romney has a real credibility problem.

baconzgood March 23, 2011 at 4:14 pm

Yes means no and no means yes….Do you want me to punch you in the gonads Newt?

jus_wonderin March 23, 2011 at 4:16 pm

I think that scenario requires he has gonads. But, punch away!!!

baconzgood March 23, 2011 at 4:18 pm

Yes means no and no means yes….Do you want me to punch you in the smooth area where your gonads should be Newt?

(FIXED?)

BornInATrailer March 23, 2011 at 4:22 pm

No means yes, yes means anal. Get it right.

GuyClinch March 23, 2011 at 4:16 pm

Vile bloated gasbag is vile.

SorosBot March 23, 2011 at 4:17 pm

He dumped his Libya position faster than a cancer-stricken wife.

randcoolcatdaddy March 23, 2011 at 4:17 pm

So, Newt, are you wanting me to merely hate you and think you're a crook or do you want me to loathe you and think that you're a crook _and_ and ass?

Grief_Lessons March 23, 2011 at 4:18 pm

His position is completely coherent and consistent: whatever Obama does, says, believes, is wrong. It's the kind of clear-headed policy sense that wins elections.

EdFlintstone March 23, 2011 at 4:18 pm

Hypocrisy thy name is Newt

trashbot March 23, 2011 at 4:18 pm

Newtonian Physics! Every stupid opinion on Fox news has an equal and opposite opinion on fox news (as long as both opinions are that Obama is RONG).

LabRodent March 23, 2011 at 4:19 pm

Obama should say Newt would make a great president then watch that shady fu*k head explode.

harry_palmer March 23, 2011 at 4:19 pm

He couldn't stick with his decision(s) to be married, or with his career as Juco adjunct professor, or as member of Congress. His mother should have named him Chameleon, not Newt.

NorthStarSpanx March 23, 2011 at 5:00 pm

Or Lou Sarah.

JoshuaNorton March 23, 2011 at 4:20 pm

Poooor teatards. Their life would be so much easier if they didn't have to come up with a new PC way to call Barry a n****r every day.

BornInATrailer March 23, 2011 at 4:21 pm

I actually thought I clicked on an old link until I realized I was thinking of weeks ago and next door in Egypt. I'd make another red light/green light & killing brown people joke but I think that's pretty well played out.

hollywooddood March 23, 2011 at 4:21 pm

I wonder if he's staring at Greta's tits.

"Newt Gingrich" sounds like a disease that strikes newts.

jus_wonderin March 23, 2011 at 4:39 pm

Cue Sally Struthers for the "Let's cure Gingrich" commercials.

ManchuCandidate March 23, 2011 at 4:21 pm

Newt chases his own ample tail.

TanzbodenKoenig March 23, 2011 at 4:21 pm

Newt. I wonder if his parents realized just how prophetic their choice of names were for the slimy, cold blooded bastard they unleashed onto an unsuspecting world.

Ruhe March 23, 2011 at 4:22 pm

On Morning Joe today they were talking about Dowd's Valkyries and how they hen pecked Obama into this war. The most interesting/disturbing moment in their little confab was when Norah O'Donell used the phrase "this particular war" when responding to something Buchanan said. "This particular war"? Cause were neck deep in three of them right now which is like normal so you have to be sure you know which one you're talking about. Hey, we're busy and busy is good. Am I right?
Also, Newt wouldn't give in to the Valkyrie.

GuyClinch March 23, 2011 at 4:23 pm

Because your bladder doesn't like you any more? Anyhow, my cousin Dr. Gefloigel is a terrific urologist. Lemme know if you want his digits!

trashbot March 23, 2011 at 4:38 pm

no, really! My P-ness is deflating with every new post. I am distressed!

GuyClinch March 23, 2011 at 4:46 pm

I think sometimes if you're a bit, shall we say, promiscuous in your commenting, your pee will start dribbling. But it will eventually come back. Besides, you've got a huge pee-ness already. Don't be greedy!

trashbot March 23, 2011 at 4:52 pm

I don't think your Pness can ever be too big- just ask Clarence Thomas.

natoslug March 23, 2011 at 5:15 pm

We're all suffering from Downfist Syndrome. A tiny-dicked parasite has attached itself to most, if not all, of us and is downfisting as fast as it can. I believe its latest name is "Biden: Impeach Obama".

trashbot March 23, 2011 at 5:21 pm

gah! he is now stalking me on Intense debate.. can't we blog-war him, or whatever you anonymous/wikileaks people do to cyberdouches?

natoslug March 23, 2011 at 5:26 pm

I'm just focusing on ignoring him, continuing with my work day (and wondering how I just pissed 48 ounces after only drinking 36 ounces of beer for lunch (yes, I did just use my empties to wizz in . . .) and smiling knowing that somehow the little smegma-encrusted breitbart fan is making Wonkette money just by clicking through . . . I say we welcome Trolly McTrollerson and offer him many golden showers should we ever meet him or his grave.

lulzmonger March 23, 2011 at 6:30 pm

I believe its latest name is "Biden: Impeach Obama".

Hmm, wonder where THAT name came from? It sounds like it's time for Wonkette to do a post entitled "Conservative Micropenis Pandemic" & see if teh troll will give itself a new nom de niaiserie.

("Micropenis" = Reagan Rulez, "Pandemic" = Libz hate Amerika!)

Prostate problem?

Enough of the flp-flop, Newt. Get some Cialis already.

harry_palmer March 23, 2011 at 4:25 pm

I seem to vaguely recall not so many years ago being lectured by Newt and his cohort that when we're at war, a good American supports his Commander in Chief and doesn't question/ criticize the management of the war. Looks like he flip-flopped on patriotism too.

SorosBot March 23, 2011 at 4:48 pm

That was already a flip-flop from his earlier position of "No blood for Monica!" Good think for America they stopped Clinton in his attempt to distract the country from his consensual blowjob by going after that one dude, what was his name again; bin ladle or something.

Extemporanus March 23, 2011 at 4:26 pm

Nothing conveys 21st century presidential foreign policy gravitas like a big-ass "PIONEER Machine Shed" sign, buggy etching, and milk jug of funeral flowers.

What the hell, Newt, are ya mannin' the hostest stand at Chotchkie's now? And if so, where's your fucking flair?!

Oldskool_ March 23, 2011 at 4:26 pm

He should be sued for whiplash.

prommie March 23, 2011 at 4:30 pm

Newt's problem is that the president is near, he is suffering from a mental illness caused by the election of Barack Obama, a mental illness that is rampant in certain areas of the country and among certain demographic groups. It was all predicted prior to the election, when there was much speculation that the election of a "nigger president" would cause mental harm to a certain segment of the population, those often referred to as "ignorant redneck pigfuckers" and "meth-head trailer trash." At the time, it was feared that they might suffer actual physical harm to their skull and brain, that the pigfuckers' heads would "asplode." Asploded heads, fortunately, were nto as common as feared, but this condition that Newt is displaying, this "black president derangement syndrome," as I have come to call it, has become widespread. Most of the sufferers of this illness are called by the more colloquial term "teabaggers." They are easy to spot, as they tend to dress up as Ben Franklin, carry mis-spelled signs covered with incoherent non-sequitors, and spew idiocy and hate.

BPDS is clearly at the root of Newt's logic disconnected blather. Electroshock therapy is making a comeback, at least for depression. Maybe the Neuter should look into this for BPDS. Perhaps using a large Tesla coil.

donner_froh March 23, 2011 at 4:34 pm

While flip-flop has a certain political definition, perfectly illustrated by these videos, Newt's jowls are the flippiest floppers ever.

Like all Republicans, he forgets that little things like – oh – video cameras, for instance – actually exist. Oh, and You Tube.

This porcine shyster is just pulling a Christine O'Donnell style flim-flam – running for office to take contributions which will go to fund his next illicit affair so he can dump his current wife in case she gets sick and ends up in surgery too.

Seriously, I just saw him on some old-person-insurance-ripoff commercial last night.

Events are happening too quickly – Newt couldn't wait for Obama to be in the hospital battling cancer before abandoning him for a new position.

If there ever was a dip-shit, Newt is it.

btw he is the apotheosis of momma's boy, suckled too long, potty trained at twelve and forever fascinated with his own booboo. " Look ! It floats!! "

SayItWithWookies March 23, 2011 at 5:17 pm

This is all President Obama's fault for making Newt think he wasn't going to do anything.

ttommyunger March 23, 2011 at 5:38 pm

Newt can't help it, he has about as much control over his mouth as he does his waistline. On a more positive note, however, I have decided I will vote for Barry again in '12 no matter how hard I may have to hold my nose, just to fuck with closet-racist dickwads like Newt.

zappadoo76 March 23, 2011 at 5:50 pm

Gadhafi "slaughtered his own citizens"? They said that about Saddam, too. That sounds bad, but Abraham Lincoln slaughtered his own citizens, too. Hundreds of thousands of them. You know, the Southerners. Lincoln himself claimed they were his citizens and that they deserved to be slaughtered because they disagreed with that view. But Lincoln is a hero, and has his picture on the penny. So now I'm confused. Is it OK to slaughter your own citizens or not?

zhubajie March 24, 2011 at 9:57 am

Should've exiled the survivors to Dakota Territory, like happened to the Sioux. Hanged the leaders, too.
