This one from a pro-adultery dating website. How is it possible that serial adultery now seems like the least of this man’s considerable flaws? He’s recently been called out for running a for-profit Presidential campaign, has stated if elected, he’ll ignore any Supreme Court decisions he doesn’t agree with, thinks Congress should subpoena judges to explain their decisions, thinks children should get jobs, and about a half dozen other insane things in the last week alone. It’s a relief his poll numbers are slipping. The thought of Georgia represented on the National stage by this buffoon throughout 2012 is just too much.

And of course rational outsiders looking in are ‘shocked & awed’ & never in a good way when viewing our politics:

I’ve got more on Newt somewhere, may add when I find it amid the rubble. But I lurved this billboard. It would work wonders in Iowa I suspect. And really old tech too. JMP
Any guy who said ‘Any ad which quotes what I said on Sunday is a falsehood”, then takes a vow to Iowa evangelicals that he’ll be faithful to his wife after already having presumably broken that vow at least twice that we know of, will only hurt his own campaign when he calls someone else a flip-flopper.

Dave, It’s far worse than you know or many suspect on that score. Be that as it may, for the written record of what went on & wrong for Newtie as Speaker, let’s start with the blatantly unethical, quasi illegal and most heavily sanctioned part of his career there, MoJo does it all for you:

And of course for those playing along at home, it’s not just the Constitution Newtie would dearly like to tear up going after judges, but the Magna Carta. Now that’s rad man, Medieval even, and the TP/GOP crowds just love it too : http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2011/12/newt-gingrich-and-his-rock-paper-scissors-constitution/250152/
Hey it’s only the core part of Western civilization, right? He can do away with it! JMP
