I love this guy! That's hilarious. It must suck to be a Republican these days.

No Dockers Rebellion?

Good lord, can you imagine this jackass as president? He'd be pushing people around on every little goddamn thing to get his way. He has no respect for anyone or anything. We thought Bush/Cheney was bad...

Is it too early to start shopping Hitler mustaches on Newt?

I thought we were rid of this dipshiat back in the 90's, but thanks to the short memories of some, and the idiotic notion of self-reinvention this douchebag is back again. He is everything Clinton, Bush, and Obama have been accused of being by their harshest detractors.

You mean that Florida broke it's vow to the Republican party an moved up it's primary and then gave all it's delegates to the younger and better looking candidate and now Newt feels like he has somehow been cheated... Well it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

So he is like Hillary, after all.

Well if every individual person's vote actually mattered, Dubya would have lost to....nevermind. You wouldn't have won the Presidency anyway Newt. Just take the huge tax writeoff and do whatever you have to do to bring yourself to ball your 7th wife.

FTFA:Asked if they would be contesting the state's allocation process had Gingrich won in Florida, Hammond replied, "Probably not."

Do we appreciate the honesty or...no, forget it. He is a spoiled, farking child.

Ok, Mr. Romney this is your opportunity to take the high road and ignore Mr. Gingrich and attack the half white guy in the Oval Office.

Former Speaker Gingrich: Please go fark yourself with a rake. Repeatedly.

...the voice of reason and responsibility...

Newt: no Take Backsies. Play the hand you're dealt, right? That's what you want to see across the land, that's the game that you want for everyone else?

Deal with it.

I see Newt has already moved into his new moon base.

I agree with Newt. But just this once. We'll change the rules back again after the primaries are over.

Typical Republican in Florida, change the rules til you can claim you win.

Newt might be a pompous bag of douche, but one must admit, he is a pathologically lying serial adulterer with messianic delusions of grandeur and all the petulance of a three year old.

While I agree with all of the above, if this part is true....

The Republican National Committee "sent out rules last winter and stated any contest held before a certain date must award its delegates proportionally," Hammond told reporters. "Florida moved its [primary] inside of this date.

Then, shouldn't they have to play by the RNC rules? Yes, Newt is a dick for waiting until he lost to make a fuss, but, that doesn't change the fact that if those were the rules, Florida should have to divy them proportionally.

Florida will lose half it's delegates for not following the rules, and the winner take all is not binding.

No, because Florida is already breaking RNC rules by holding the primary when they did. Since they are already breaking the RNC rules, why should they be forced to listen to this other set of arbitrary rules. Newt has a better argument trying to get the whole primary nullified than trying to force them to divvy up the votes.

I can't imagine playing a game of Monopoly against Newt, let alone having to run against him in a political contest. Yeesh.

The 50 was already the "half" amount, since they are supposed to have 99. As far as things being non-binding, I suppose the RNC ultimately decides what they will take and what they will not.

Hey, Sta Puft, how about "now that I lost, let me skulk into the shadows and STFU"

/actually the one thing I like about this douche is his determination to stick it out in the primaries
//go Newt!

Awesome. So, RON PAUL is turning into Ross Perot, and now Gingrich is turning into RON PAUL?

muck4doo: Why won't this douche bag go away?

He will. But, he has books to sell and a job as a political analyst with Fox News to seal up.

Personally, I'm hoping for jointly hosted show with Palin on Sunday mornings like Meet the Press.

dletter: The 50 was already the "half" amount, since they are supposed to have 99. As far as things being non-binding, I suppose the RNC ultimately decides what they will take and what they will not.

The RNC is going to abso-farking-lutely exactly what they are designed to do in this case, which is exactly what the Democrats did with Michigan and Florida in 2008. And that is, make absolutely no decision on resolving the "controversy" until the race is obviously over and the loser has dropped out, and then make a decision that benefits the eventual winner.

By the way, note that the Republican Party released fark-all in terms of actual rules for what "proportional" divvying up of delegates means, except that each state party is allowed to set a threshold of no less than 50% for "If you reach this amount, you win everything." Unlike with the Democrats, there is no consistent set of procedures, so there's no obvious minimum cutoff or split between district and at-large delegates. Any non-WTA system used by Florida will have to be invented and applied ex post facto.

I suspect Newt will drop out, there will be an endorsement and teachable healing moment while showing how Republicans can compromise and have all along. Republicans can't really afford a volatile convention.

/tinfoil hat firmly adjusted.

HeartBurnKid: If I heard one peep out of this guy and his people about the rules before he lost, I might be sympathetic. But no, he's just trying to game the system like he always does.

You're not above the rules, Newtie. It's time you realized that.

Pretty much. The rules only matter if you lose, or you can't hang your opponent with them. You'll notice how quiet he is about disenfranchisement...

HeartBurnKid: djkutch: I suspect Newt will drop out, there will be an endorsement and teachable healing moment while showing how Republicans can compromise and have all along. Republicans can't really afford a volatile convention.

Newt doesn't give a damn about what's good for the Republicans. Or America. Or anyone whose name isn't Newt Gingrich.

True, but can he keep up money wise?

He doesn't want the nomination, he wants to be a Kingmaker. Actually getting the nomination would mean real work, and Newt doesn't want that. He wants to be seen, he wants influence, he wants folks to kiss his ring.

His worst nightmare is to actually get the job.

Lone Stranger: Rich white persons problem.

Stupid vague comment awesome.

I am amazed by Newt's ingenious disingenuousness. His disingenuity, if you will
