World's largest known deposit of natural gas Newt Gingrich has reached the visionary conclusion that he can still win the GOP nomination by trying out-whine Rick Santorum. Whine for us about media coverage, Newt: "Do you think you are going to see two pages on Obama’s Muslim friends? Or two pages on the degree to which Obama is consistently apologizing to Islam while attacking the Catholic Church?" Newt Gingrich, if elected president, will not "apologize to Islam," in an attempt to hurt Islam's feelings. Other concepts/ topics/ systems/ inanimate general nouns to which Newt Gingrich will not offer any apology: jogging, personal fiscal responsibility, college basketball, Spanish spoken within U.S. borders. There, he hopes all of these things have learned their lesson. Now for some more whining!
From an interview transcribed by Right Wing Watch:
[Sandy] Rios: Do you think there is any way in this world that the press is not going to be all over the details of Mormonism, do you think they are going to hold their powder on Mitt Romney in terms of his Mormonism and some of the passages in the Book of Mormon?
Gingrich: Of course, look you have to understand that the elite media is in the tank for Obama. They are going to do anything that helps re-elect Obama. They are totally committed to Obama. It is just astonishing to me how pro-Obama they are. Do you think you are going to see two pages on Obama’s Muslim friends? Or two pages on the degree to which Obama is consistently apologizing to Islam while attacking the Catholic Church? Do you see anybody in the elite media prepared to say, gee, isn’t this kind of odd, that we really worry a lot about the Qur'an and nothing about the Bible?
Who is the "we" in that last sentence? We'll assume he means space monsters. [Right Wing Watch]
<i>Do you think you are going to see two pages on Obama&rsquo;s Muslim friends?</i>
I think somebody wishes <i>he</i> had Muslim friends. Or pretty much <i>any</i> friends. Sorry, Newt. It&#039;s not happening. It&#039;s not them - it&#039;s you.
Crybaby gonna cry.
