6. He created hyper-partisanship. Now he wants bipartisanship? I doubt it.
He just wants to find a way to get into power.

By the way, he's blaming the Dems for causing the partisanship, once again.

So, he's actually creating more hyper-partisanship.

Quite an interesting approach.

He's evil!

3. Now I know why I stopped getting Time Magazine decades ago.
A once good weekly magazine that kept you apprised of current events if you didn't have time to read a newspaper every day, it deteriorated into a propaganda rag for the elite corporatists to spread disinformation and right wing idealism.

9. The only thing you can do when irony backs up and clogs the brain
It's called the Newt-jerk reaction

16. The Right bears irony as a weapon.
Along with false indignation.

25. Wasn't he the House Speaker having an open affair with an aide during the Clinton impeachment?
Why yes, yes he was..

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,258001,00.html

WASHINGTON — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was having an extramarital affair even as he led the charge against President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair, he acknowledged in an interview with a conservative Christian group.

27. & wasn't he the one who asked wife for a divorce when she was in a hospital for cancer care?
so he could keep screwing the one he was having an affair with, without getting caught.
