EVERYTHING NEWT

He couldn't go to the Congo under colonial rule for the same reason you can't visit the Cretaceous - the Belgians left in 1960, he wrote his thesis in 1971.

PHd in European History (modern) from Tulane in 1971.

Born in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, his father left swiftly (possibly on a boat), and Newt McPherson was adopted by Bob Gingrich, at age 8 Newt became a spokesmodel for a hamburger chain...Bob's Big Boy(yeah, I made that up, but they look similar).

His head will explode March 7, right after Super Tuesday results have been tallied. Truth is, it may have already happened, and that isn't white hair, it's rolls of gauze.

*Poof*

But it got him several long trips to Belgium. Sorta like the way he used his campaign money to finance some extended world tours.
Im not a Newt fan and even though hes gonna be easier to trounce than almost any other candidate the GOP can forward, he makes me want to go take a shower. Hes a slimy little meat ball.

I was always disgusted with him. The time he said to put welfare kids into orphanages made me truly despise him. I read today that his sister plans to vote for Obama.

Why, anybody that would do that would probably use government money and transportation to travel about the country and make speeches if elected president. The closer the election, the more frequent the inspirational speeches - especially in swing states.

Im not a big brain in geography but I dont think Belgium is a "swing state".
ANYWAY, claiming that the Congo was closed to outsiders is not true.

I wasn't specifically referring to Newt. Actually, I wasn't referring to Newt at all.

Not sure why you're telling me about one of the Congos.

It was more meant for HS who assured us that Congo was closed to outsiders so that Newt should be excused for only staying in Belgium to do his dissertation.
As a GOP, are you satisfied with NEwt as your annointed candidate? or do you still hope for a dark horse like Christie?

Course, the teabaggers dont trust Christie at all since he is a "Tom Ridge " Republican.

I like Christie at the moment, but this isn't his year and I'm glad he decided against running at this time. When he actually becomes a candidate (if), we're going to learn much about him we haven't bothered to find out at this time. This will be true of any other candidates if and when they seem to become viable.

God, but the man needs to lose some weight. A lot of weight. Campaigning for the office is about as demanding as running back to back marathons for six months or more. I don't think the man is up to it, and I mean that in the strictly physical sense.

Christie is in some remarkeable shape for a lardass. Hes one of these guys who can exercise and lift weights and is not flabbyI believe that he will get his weight in line over the next few years and would make an undefeatable candidate. I like his politics too. Hes just conservative enough yet with some real trappings of liberal concern for the less fortunate .

If Christie runs next time, KAty bar the door. He will demolish anyone else.

Never said a word about the Congo being closed to anybody.... where did you get this idea?

You can read the dissertation if you wish, it's online: http://www.scribd.com/doc/74196290/Gingrich-Belgian-Education

That newt is far cuter then our Newt.

It's the bigger one of the Congos - by very far. This map of the "Belgian" (now DR) Congo overlaid on a map of Europe shows just how big it is:

Newt Gingrich would like to remind everybody that that marriage is between one man and one woman whom you abandon riddled with cancer on her hospital bed while you screw the crap out of your mistress whom you later marry and cheat on with a third woman while screaming with Godly moral outrage about the infidelities of the president! Nice going Newt!
