Newt Gingrich Is Surrounded by Idiots

From a Lincoln Day dinner speech Newt Gingrich delivered in Illinois last week: 

"The thing I find most disheartening of this campaign is the difficulty of talking about large ideas on a large scale, because the news media can't cover it and candidly, my opponents can't comprehend it."

At least he's not surrounded by assholes.

At least he's not surrounded by assholes.

If he were to get elected, then he would be.

[Suki]

+100 Spaceballs video!

[Tulpa]

They had a more competent president in that movie.

[HeroicMulatto]

Well, except for the "and candidly, my opponents can't comprehend it" part, what he said is true.

[Gilbert Martin]

Yeah - the media certainly lives up to the idiot billing.

[Suki]

Too bad his "big ideas" are just big giant "public works" projects. Bullet train to the moon anybody?

[Socialistic Individual Sparky]

Where's the problem? Uncle Newt just wants to make sure everyone has a job.

[Brett L]

Next, we should try putting him in a sackful of pissed off wolverines.

[Res Publica Americana]

Or lock him in an enclosure swarming with Japanese hornets.

[invisible furry hand]

He might not be surrounded by assholes, but he's got one worryingly close to his head

[trather]

Newt was doing a Chuck

[Tim]

His attempt to genetically engineer Romney style hair went horribly wrong.

[Joe M]

He's right. Quite a few of us can't comprehend his "ideas."

[Spartacus]

I was having a hard time, but then I realized I was trying to find consistency/reason/integrity in them. Once I gave up on that and just started grooving to the lyrics, it all became much clearer.

[SugarFree]

You might laugh at that picture now, but Callista's not laughing. Crawling on his giant pumpkin head and biting his hands was how they met. It just a matter of time until Callista becomes yet another Ex-Mrs. Gingrich and Newt advocates that we all marry bearcats and live on the moon.

[Tim]

WHatever that thing is, unless it gets a blonde dye job it has no chance of scoring with the speaker.

[SugarFree]

Binturong aka Bearcat.

[Brett L]

"...so you just put the peanut butter on anything you want him to lick, huh?"

[Brett L]

Wow. That could apply to either Newt or the bearcat.

[Callista]

Oh, yeah ....

[invisible furry hand]

I thought they met when his head-pet and her head-pet had an affair (his head-pet subsequently dumped hers for a much younger Ugg boot)

[SugarFree]

Making all Americans get head-pets would be great for the economy.

[Bee Tagger]

on a large scale

Paging Jay Leno, you're needed in the innocuous fat joke aisle.

[Realist]

"Newt Gingrich Is Surrounded by Idiots"
Hand picked by the head idiot.
Birds of a feather...

[Killazontherun]

my opponents can't comprehend it

Newton, old boy, you don't have mental discipline to handle the medical profession like Paul, or high finance like Mitt, that is why you were a history major. Broad concepts don't take any effort. Anyone can get Marx, especially historians who like to be told they can effect the world and not just chronicle it.
