Newt Gingrich, the intellectual leader of the Republican Party, has finally figured out what is wrong with President Barack Obama: He is a Kenyan anti-colonialist.

Gingrich had a chat with Robert Costa from National Review and Slate's Dave Weigel after a screening of his new film, "America at Risk: The Owls of Ga'Hoole." And he had a lot to say about the president!

“What if is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together ?” Gingrich asks. “That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.”

“This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president,” Gingrich tells us.

“I think he worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating — none of which was true,” Gingrich continues. “In the Alinksy tradition, he was being the person he needed to be in order to achieve the position he needed to achieve . . . He was authentically dishonest.”

“ is in the great tradition of Edison, Ford, the Wright Brothers, Bill Gates — he saw his opportunity and he took it,” Gingrich says. Will Gingrich take it back in 2012? “The American people may take it back, in which case I may or may not be the recipient of that, but I have zero doubt that the American people will take it back. Unlike Ford, the Wright Brothers, et cetera, this guy’s invention did not work.”

“I think Obama gets up every morning with a worldview that is fundamentally wrong about reality,” Gingrich says. “If you look at the continuous denial of reality, there has got to be a point where someone stands up and says that this is just factually insane.”

So: a "wonderful con," Alinsky, Kenyan, American people "will take it back," etc. etc.

1. Nah, you think?

How many people would actually, as an adult, let others address him as "Newt?"

Come on.

2. The problem with Newt's entire premise is made in the first sentence

"Newt Gingrich, the intellectual leader of the Republican Party,"

Pretty much sums up the problem with Republicans.

[Blue Owl]

4. Wow, the GOP has the intellect of a NEWT

how impressive.

:rofl:

[TheMuse]

3. I just want to know

How the hell did we get saddled with Gingrich all over the place. Again. Serioulsy, the guy was a hypocritical nutjob the first time, and now he has eyes on the Presidency. For God's sakes, once we are through with these lying, dirtbag republicans; can't they for once just go away for good!

Seriously, they all seem to weasel back. You still hear from Lott and Frist for the love of god. Uggghhh.

7. I didn't know that about Newtie until at least the early/mid-'90s, often being some-what slow on the

uptake. ;)

8. He's a conman, liar, fraud, opportunist, fearmonger, evil and a hate merchant.

[TheCowsCameHome]

[Bitwit1234]

11. I think Newt gets up every morning and looks for his next

mistress so he can divorce the present wife and start again. What women see in this POS is beyond. He is a crook and he will always be a crook. Throw in adulter and horse shit and you got Newt.

[FSogol]

12. Every time someone mentions Newt, I ask, "Didn't he resign in disgrace?"

The freepers in the office don't have any response. :shrug:

[spanone]

[rufus dog]

15. He has become the Drunk Uncle at Thanksgiving

Seriously, the hate and the stupidity.

We will allow mosques when Saudi Arabia allows churches, we should have corporate tax rates like China, then his latest.

He has become so stupid and crazy that you can only shake your head.

"Can I get you another drink Uncle Newt?"
