You should ask Newt out, since you seem to have such a hard-on for him.

I fully agree with this random dude, but this shouldn't be a news story. It's just gossipy bullshiat to pass a few minutes in the relentless 24 hour news cycle.

He does at that, doesn't he? The only Newt defender I've seen, and he's stuck up for every bit of it lately.

I love how you supposed "tolerant" people use homosexuality as a slam but then try to inoculate yourselves with the cliche "NNTAWTT", it really demonstrates how delusional you are in believing you're not secretly a bigot that finds Teh Gay, Icky.

GAT_00: The only Newt defender I've seen

He's not my idea candidate but out of the group that's running, he's my favorite. I'd like him to have a little bit of Ron Paul Civil Libertarian stand points combined with some Huntsman Foreign Policy knowledge and then he'd be closer to my ideal. You take what you can get and imho he'd be far better than Obama.

The idiot who confronted Newt Gingrich should be jailed. There needs to be a law where politicians are immune to the law. This way, Newt Gingrich could kill or assault anyone who disagrees with him. Yes, I know what you're thinking. In order to make sure the law is not abused, I agree there should be exceptions to the rule. Democrats and liberals should not be allowed to use this provision. In-fact, I propose a provision in the law that forces Democrats and liberals into permanent slavery. (Republicans already bear the burden of supporting Democrats through welfare taxes, might as well codify it.) Only Republicans would be entitled to immunity. Only people like Newt Gingrich, people who love this country.

In all fairness, he's running for office, so he can't exactly respond with the typical "F*ck you."

CayceP: I agree. I just expect more than he delivered.

"Well back in 1864 when Lincoln was accosted in such a manner he said 'Now listen here sir, I am neither an arsehole nor am I engaged in carnal activities at this time, but should you present your wife, I'd gladly attempt to correct that last part.' You see, Lincoln was known for his wry sense of course humor. JFK however would have responded differently I presume, whispering for the man to bring his wife and her sister around back of the white house later that night. There is certainly historic precedent for this type of activity, now good day sir!"

That's probably a more "Newt-Like" response.

CanisNoir: That's probably a more "Newt-Like" response.

Never mind. I'm confusing the "you're lucky it's a free county" response with a different incident where someone shook his hand and said he was everything that was wrong with politics today.

Sadly, this guy was mad because even a heartless S.O.B. like Newt Gingrich could recognize how inhuman Paul Ryan is for trying to destroy Medicare.

I feel bad for that guy around 4:30AM when he stirs a bit in bed, feels like someone is watching him, then carefully opens his eyes to see Callista's full-bore Manson Lamps spooling up.

I'd be glad to call him that to his face, if he ever showed it around here.

Granted, I'd probably use somewhat bigger words, like 'pestilence'.

I don't get it? Why the beeping? And why can't that guy on CNN just say what the guy said to Newt? As a Swede I find this pretty silly.

Americans are very, very prudish. They threw a massive national fit including a massive fine and a class action lawsuit a few years ago because a woman's nipple was sort of briefly visible on television. (new window)

I'm trying to come up with an answer for you. But I can't. So I'll just blame the Republicans. I don't know why or how they're responsible, but it seems like the kind of thing they'd be responsible for.

Republicans. That's the ticket.

Actually, I think it says more about how comically cartoonish the GOP campaign has gotten. I find Newt as repulsive as the next guy, but really, look at the alternatives. Every one of them is grotesque in their own unique fashion. Some, like Bachman are multifaceted in their ways to disgust you. The whole Republican Party resembles this out of control pickup truck with like, 3 guys, simultaneously grabbing the wheel trying to steer it.

MartinD-35: I'm just guessing here, but I suspect you haven't been to a dentist in several years.

I know for a fact, that's not true. Since his incarceration, dental care has been provided free. I'm not sure what his status is on the anti-psychotic medications since the Federal judge made the decision on the forced medication ruing. I'm hoping he will soon be deemed 'competent' to stand trial...

It's not just them. Look at the San Andreas 'Hot Coffee' scandal; in a game where you can do all sorts of horrible shiat to people, it was a simulated sex scene that got it (briefly) pulled. Hell, look at our video game and film rating systems, and compare how much gore you can have in an R rated flick versus how much sexual stuff you can have.

American culture glorifies violence, but is bizarrely prudish when it comes to sexuality.

Nothing Exists

Yamaoka Tesshu, as a young student of Zen, visited one master after another. He called upon Dokuon of Shokoku.

Desiring to show his attainment, he said: "The mind, Buddha, and sentient beings, after all, do not exist. The true nature of phenomena is emptiness. There is no relaization, no delusion, no sage, no mediocrity. There is no giving and nothing to be received."

Dokuon, who was smoking quietly, said nothing. Suddenly he whacked Yamaoka with his bamboo pipe. This made the youth quite angry.

"If nothing exists," inquired Dokuon, "where did this anger come from?"

I disagree... While Newt is, indeed, a "farking asshole", he's not just an embarrassment to the GOP, he's an embarrassment to the entire country.

That chubby little sociopath makes us all look bad just by the fact that plenty of Americans want this poison dwarf to be president. That he is even in contention for the job is pathetic and reflects poorly on us all.

Same goes for just about all the other GOP candidates, honestly.

It's not the first time Newt's been called a farking arsehole, but to be fair, he was divorcing those women, so it's to be expected.
