14. Newt, a slippery reptile often found ...

under rocks. Cold-blooded as its brethren of the reptile world, a Newt has no conscience that we know of. Likewise for scum bag, the newt Gingrich..

16. It is the kind of a name

that makes someone get a very big ego to overcome the fact that their parents named them after an amphibian. It is the name of a guy that we can watch get his ass kicked over and over because his ego is so big he will never get it that we don't care for him or his lousy ideas.

[NC_Nurse]

18. I think it's befitting for a hog jowled, adulterous, lying son of a bitch.

19. Top ten reasons you could be named Newt!

10) Your mother gave birth in a bank, and you were wrapped in part of a banner that said "NEW T (oaster)."

9) While giving birth, your mom accidentally swallowed a cricket and the nickname stuck.

8) The name Snake was already taken by your Uncle Snake.

7) When you were born your parents thought you were a reptile and tried to flush you down the commode!

6) Sure beats Bubba!

5) Your real name is Joe Bob, just like everyone else where you grew up.

4) You are a cold-blooded, slimy bastard.

3) Your mother got that whole "kiss a frog to find a prince" story mixed up.

2) Named after your favorite food.

1) Your mother couldn't spell Gnute!

Hoot Chipwich. (Read it once in the Nation and couldn't stop laughing.)

23. Well, as the Austin Lounge Lizards once put it...

Gingrich the Newt

We'd like to set the record straight by singing of the newt.
For newts are open-minded; they are flexible and cute.
A newt can breathe in water, and a newt can breathe on land.
And if you are a different critter, newts will understand.

Newts are not mean-spirited; they never are unfair.
Newts are not underhanded, and are not afraid to share.
Newts do not have bad haircuts, because newts are lacking hair.
But the newt called Gingrich drives all true newts to despair.

Gingrich the Newt's a disgrace to the name.
When true newts see him, they feel so ashamed.
He's the black sheep of the newt family.
The one rotten fruit on the newt family tree.

Newts don't prey on other newts; in that they don't believe.
And you will never catch a newt with something up his sleeve.
They're tolerant to different environments, and so
They don't send little newties to the orphanage to grow.

What kind of newt wears a suit and a tie,
And frightens small children as he rushes by?
But we admit that his suit suits him good.
Much more discreet than a sheet and a hood.

A newt may be cold-blooded, but he won't go to extremes.
And you can trust a newt to be exactly what he seems.
Newts are sorry if you're sad; they're happy if you're gay.
But Gingrich is perverse, and worse
He's proud to be that way.

Gingrich the Newt is puffed up like a toad.
So full of himself that he's bound to explode.
And then we'll raise up our tails in salute.
A fitting tribute
To that horse's patoot
Gingrich the Newt
