Newt Gets Pissy

Though we don't need one, here's another reason why Newt Gingrich won't get elected president.

At a speaking event at the University of Pennsylvania, Little Newty was confronted about his affair and his moral hypocrisy by president of the Penn Democrats, Isabel Friedman, who asked:

"You adamantly oppose gay rights... but you've also been married three times and admitted to having an affair with your current wife while you were still married to your second...As a successful politician who's considering running for president, who would set the bar for moral conduct and be the voice of the American people, how do you reconcile this hypocritical interpretation of the religious values that you so vigorously defend?"

Well, Little Newty got his granny panties in a twist, and hissed back:

"I'll bet almost everybody here can gather the thrust of your question...I appreciate the delicacy and generosity in the way it was framed. ... I hope you feel better about yourself."

Funny, though, he never answered her question.

  2. Yes, I saw this and I laughed. "I hope you feel better about yourself." Hmm, someone touched a nerve there...!

  3. They never do answer the questions asked of them, do they?

    Ya know, my grandfather had this radical idea. He said instead of running for office, that our congress should be randomly picked from the census rolls. One term, and your done for life. The older i get, the more i think hes right!
