This is Newt Gingrich’s new, what, campaign logo?
Newt, you jerkoff. There’s only one place you’ll find $2.50 gasoline. And that’s on your fucking Moonbase.
U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 3:
“And the president shall from time to time set prices on gasoline, even though at the time of writing this we have no fucking idea what gasoline even is, or what it’s to be used for. Anyway, if gasoline prices get too high, it’s the president’s fault.”
Family Values?

The Nation
Today, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will announce a run for the presidency. Over his long and checkered career, Newt has said some wild and crazy things—most are deeply offensive, while some are outright bizarre. Here’s the most unhinged Newt-isms, 1989-present.
vruz: 11 because they just couldn’t be narrowed down to only 10. here’s an excerpt:
(1) “I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time [my grandchildren are] my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.” [Address to Cornerstone Church in Texas, March 2011]
(2) “The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.” [To Mother Jones magazine, October 1989]
(3) “All I would say is, why did it take so long? The whole thing is strange.” [Speaking to TPM about the recent release of President Obama’s long-form birth certificate, April 2011]
(4) “What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]? That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.” [To the National Review, September 2010]
