timujin: Fun. This is vague enough that people who support him will wave it off and people who don't will find all sorts of bogeymen in the shadows.

And I got to troll in the headline!

I think it's interesting that we're four years into the Obama presidency and his political opponents have yet to find a credible scandal against him. Meanwhile, we're still just months into the Republican primary and we have multiple candidates being taken down by scandal after scandal.

/No, Solyndra doesn't count

The code name for the deal was called "Fats and Pompous"

Fast & Furious might. Holder is really trying his damndest to hand a credible investigation to the House GOP (who don't really need "credible", but whatevs).

Gingrich was also a Congressman for 20 years. If there's a 20-year alum in Congress who HASN'T gotten up to shady shiat, they're obviously too incompetent to remain in the seat.

What about assassination of an American citizen?

Don't worry, his opponents are working on it fastly and furiously.

Bah, Clinton did it better.

Personally, I believe Newt would have taken the money, but that's beside the point.

Who cares if the FBI considered a sting? Newt wouldn't be responsible for that beyond the fact that he's a douchbag. Someone who said they represented Newts wife was willing to talk about taking a bribe, it's just as likely that guy was running a scam.

Oh, leave Newt alone. He's just a historian!

Kuta: Oh, leave Newt alone. He's just a historian!

That is right, he had no intent on lobbying the lifting of the arms embargo. He was just going to provide them with a history of such actions.

An Iraqi arms dealer running a scam? The hell you say!

Bloated, deceitful, cheating, lying, corrupt, unfaithful, self-obsessed, loud-mouthed piece of shiat and he is the GOP frontrunner. This gives me so much glee.

Yes, the American people, in a general sense, DO deserve better. But Republicans don't. They made this bed and they can lay in it.

It seems a bit odd that this rag tag bunch of characters were hanging out in Paris together. What would possibly bring them together?

Aw, come on. A Romney campaign is going to be boring as f*ck and the more air time he gets the more uncomfortable and awkward it is for everybody.

Please just let Newt have the nomination.

Please...?

Newt probably loves the fact that this story came to light. It exonerates him while creating enough doubt about his ex-wife's credibility that any dirt she has on him won't be taken seriously.

there their theyre: What about assassination of an American citizen who joined a terrorist organization and in hiding in a foreign country beyond the reach of local law enforcement and was also given multiple chances to surrender weeks and months beforehand?

Fixed that for you.
No scandal there. Pretty easy to avoid. Don't join a terrorist organization. Don't go into hiding in a foreign country. Surrender when it's demanded. Don't be surprised when a different course of action bites you in the ass.

Almost got me.

That's what I'm saying.

I'm not so much afraid that Romney is going to win, I just don't feel like seeing him sweat through interviews trying to maintain his fake-ass smile for the next 10 months.

Give us Newt! We want a show!

You could also try: Don't be a bootlicker.

/Too late in your case though.

keylock71: Eh... doesn't seem like there was any evidence. Plenty of other real reasons why Newt shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the White House.

Oh, love the picture:

that looks like evil bilbo baggins when he jumps at Frodo (and the ring) when they meet up in Rivendell

derp deirp deyrp: What about assassination of an American citizen who joined a terrorist organization

ya missed a slightly obscure point there bub

I am no fan of Newt Gingrich, but this allegation is totally ridiculuous and the FBI even said as much. Please focus on his actual policies, which are far more damaging!

Reminds me of when they darkened OJ's photo.

But I thought his constituents liked guns.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if this was ever proven that they'd just support him even further and spin it as "patriotic free-markety bravado defending of the 2nd amendment".

I would be far more shocked if an FBI investigation actually found a national politician that wasn't a corrupt, bought-off piece of human garbage.

MugzyBrown: A high-level source at the FBI considered launching an investigation that Obama raped thousdands of little boys.

The FBI called off the investigation when it decided there was no evidence

This is basically the issue. Some guy said he was talking to Newt's (at the time) wife. They didn't even go after her, which indicates that they didn't have any evidence of her involvement. There are actual reasons to be scared of a Gingrich administration, this is not one of them.

vernonFL: Who is Sarkis Soghanalian? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Gingrich tell it, anybody could have worked for Soghanalian. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.

Well, I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me . . . is the idea of a Gingrich presidency.

Overzealous heifer, nothing to see here.
