Shit Newt Gingrich Says: A Brief History
Prospective 2012 presidential candidate Newt Gingrich spoke out on Good Morning America yesterday with some counsel for likely Republican rival Sarah Palin: “She’s got to slow down,” the former House Speaker said, “and be more careful and think through what she’s saying and how’s she’s saying it.” Sage advice. Gingrich should consider taking it sometime.
Here, a brief, recent retrospective of the Shit Newt Gingrich Says:
“This is, in fact, World War III.” — Gingrich on the 2006 Israel/Lebanon conflict
“The language of living in a ghetto.” — Gingrich on Spanish
“There is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment.” — Gingrich on the gay marriage proponents
“Obama’s trillion-dollar stimulus package is anti-Christian legislation.” — Gingrich on the Recovery Act
“I’d find a way to… deliver a laser… This is a missile that is sitting there on a launch pad. You could take it out with very, very minimal risk to anybody.” — Gingrich on preemptive war with North Korea
