Worst Endorsement Ever: Gingrich Implodes Sabotages Romney and Himself
During a mano e mano CNN debacle this afternoon, Newt Gingrich told Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s The Situation Room that he was a failure as a Presidential nominee candidate because he couldn’t bring new solutions into the political conversations. CNN got a little Newt on Newt blood going today.
Wolf Blitzer interviewed Newt and forced Newt to watch his own self on TV attacking Romney. The hangdog look on Newt’s face was sad, but he was prepared with his GOP talking points. Instead of responding to clips of himself dissing Romney, Newt blamed Obama for the worst employment numbers in the history of ever and the debt crushing all of our grandchildren (those that are still alive after Sarah Palin’s Death Panels got them).
Video via CNN:
Wolf demanded, “Is Mitt Romney a liar?” over and over until Newt admitted that Romney said some things that aren’t true, but OBAMA!
Then Newt went into the Republican talking points again (scary deficit! Jobs!). Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate, won’t tell us his job plan, or his economic plan, other than vague Ryan-esque approvals and suggestions that he would make George W Bush look like he was good for the economy, but we should all just trust Republicans because they got bin Laden. Well, they would have if they were looking for him.
Obama!
Newt said he thought he could do a new media campaign but it didn’t work and yet Obama managed to do this in 2008. Huh. Well, to be fair to Newt, that’s only because Obama didn’t quit his campaign for a Greek Islands cruise and Obama was super organized, being one of those “community organizers” whilst Newt was surfing Tiffany’s for the latest way to say I’m sorry. When Republicans lose, it’s never because the other person was better than them; it’s just God taking a day off.
Other sound bites of note were, “The more visionary I was, the better we were doing” And “I made a mistake in bringing in traditional consultants.” They say that you can tell how someone will lead based on how they run their campaign, but Republicans subscribe to the theory that the worse you are at your job, the higher you should rise. So it’s super sad that Newt isn’t where he should be right now: Facing off against Barack Obama to discuss things Americans care about like Kenyan Colonialism.
Newt tried to suggest that Joe Biden was no good for VP and brought nothing to the table, but sadly Wolf was on his game and reminded the disgraced former Speaker that Biden been in government for a long time (Wolf forgot that Joe was never been kicked out for ethics violations!) and accomplished a lot.
Biden is also is the Vice President. Small matter. But Newt said all Joe did was ride the train back and forth to DC. That was his big dig. We knew Republicans hated high-speed rail, but apparently just being on a train means you’re not fit to lead.
In case you’re feeling like we’re in high school with the Republicans relying on cheap, empty shots because all they have is Mitt Romney and Bobby Jindal, also known as the Plantation Brothers, well, be fair – what else do they have? They can’t very well run on their record, they have to lie about Obama’s record, and that leaves the scaries: crushing grandchildren, evil trains and projections of their own failures.
It’s not every day you get to watch Newt Gingrich beat his own self up — finally coming through with that contract for America.
Vote for Romney because Joe Biden rode a train! Also, the Bush deficit and the Bush unemployment and the Republican-killed recovery! Double down, America! Newt dares you to pretend you can’t see one more time for old time’s sake.

Gingrich isn’t fit to polish Joe Biden’s shoes. Yes, he rode the train from Wilmington, DE to Washington, DC round trip on a daily basis. He did this after his children were left without a mother in order to be there for them while at the same time, serving his country. After he remarried, he continued the same pattern in order to be home as much as possible. Unlike Newt, who was divorced twice, who cheated on his first two wives, who married his third wife after having an affair with her for several years and who didn’t bother paying his child support leaving his ex-wife and children to be supported by the church, Joe Biden was a real husband and father and didn’t abandon his wife and kids. Joe Biden didn’t have to leave one church and convert to another religion while pretending to be something he’s not as Gingrich did.
Gingrich has lied as much as Romney, pretending there was no ethics violation, that his affairs were due to his overwhelming passion for his country and his working for the same but the American people didn’t buy it in the 80′s and they aren’t buying it today, either. When your big claim to fame is thanking Todd Palin, a known pimp, for his support, you’ve reached depths far beneath the average politician. Run along, Newt. I’m sure you have some shopping to do in order to thank Callista for standing by your side for this campaign. Will your divorce be the next one we read about? I wouldn’t be surprised now that she knows she will never be the First Lady as you promised her long ago.

First of all nothing that AKR wrote will be disputed by the Congressional record. Newt cheated on his wives and has admitted to it.
When you are trying to say someone is lying you should bring facts to the table.

Cheryl,
If you please take the time to become slightly more educated you will see the silly nonsense you type for nothing more than what it is…pure delusions. But, then again, by becoming more educated you would then be a liberal!

Newt and Romney are of the same ilk.
They couldn’t lay straight even if they
were in a straight jacket.

Gingrich is a complete failure at its highest form! What a disgrace to America and even more pathetic how the media reads way too much into his opinions! I don’t know whats worst, Gingrich’s failures or the media’s failures!

Gingrich is a complete failure both morally and politically. I find it quite funny that a liar like him got stung by another liar in the person of Weathervane Willard Romney, as well as the idea that someone with all his ethical challenges could ever be president. He is still smarting from the barrage of negative ads that were launched about him on behalf of Willard, which accounts for his unenthusiastic “endorsement” of the latter on the grounds that he’s not president Obama. He said things about Willard that were every bit as accurate as they were derogatory, and they need to be used by the Obama campaign against Willard.
